The Trailer for Extraordinary Measures

November 11, 2009


CBS Films has provided ComingSoon.net with the trailer for Extraordinary Measures, starring Harrison Ford, Brendan Fraser, Keri Russell and Courtney B. Vance.

The Tom Vaughan-directed drama is inspired by the true story of John Crowley, a man who defied conventional wisdom and great odds, and risked his family's future to pursue a cure for his children's life threatening disease.

From his working class roots, John Crowley (Fraser) has finally begun to taste success in corporate America. Supported by his beautiful wife Aileen (Russell) and their three children, John is on the fast track. But just as his career is taking off, Crowley walks away from it all when his two youngest children, Megan and Patrick, are diagnosed with a fatal disease. With Aileen by his side, harnessing all of his skill and determination, Crowley teams up with a brilliant, but unappreciated and unconventional scientist, Dr. Robert Stonehill (Harrison Ford). Together they form a bio-tech company focused on developing a life-saving drug. One driven to prove himself and his theories, the other by a chance to save his children, this unlikely alliance eventually develops into mutual respect as they battle the medical and business establishments in a fight against the system – and time.

Looks good. Fraser is so underrated. Like a lot of actors, people think the mainstream blockbusters are all he does. What about these?

"School Ties," "With Honors," "Twilight of the Golds," "Gods & Monsters," "The Quiet American," "Crash," and "The Air I Breathe."

Yeah, he may be remembered more for "The Mummy" movies, or "Encino Man," but the dude can act. He's in some of my favorite movies. "Airheads," "School Ties" and "The Quiet American" in particular.

when they have a good script...which could take another 19 years! JK

Na good to see both Indiana Jones and Rick Oconnel teaming up! just wish it was an adventure movie. But all jokes aside, it does look like a good film

this is the right movie shot at the right time(since we had this health care debate on), I really hope it'll work, it can do so much than just a movie does.
