New Clip and Poster for Reese Witherspoon’s ‘Wild’

After premiering at Telluride and then moving on to Toronto, there hasn’t been much said about Wild, the new film starring Reese Witherspoon based on Cheryl Strayed‘s 2012 memoir “Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail“, but it’s a movie you ought to keep on your radar, not because it’s an all-out fantastic film, but it’s a moving film and one that encourages us to face our fears and strive to be better people.

[amz asin=”B005IQZB14″ size=”small”]Here’s a snippet from my review:

It’s not often I see a movie and want to read the book afterward, but in the case of Wild I might make an exception. I was legitimately moved by Strayed’s accomplishment and I love how Vallee chose to end the film, understanding it’s a film about the journey and a sense of self-worth, more than feeling a need to wrap up what happened after the hike with a pretty little bow. Voice over from Witherspoon more than accomplishes the “what happened next” aspect of the story so many will be concerned about, capturing, as she does throughout, a moment in which her character is by herself better than she ever does opposite other actors. This is a film everyone can walk away from inspired, filled with a thirst to experience life to the fullest.

The film doesn’t hit theaters until December 5, but today a new clip and an international poster have arrived, giving me enough reason to mention it again.

You can read my full review right here if you’re so inclined, if not, just give the clip below a watch and disregard the obvious Snapple product placement.

With the dissolution of her marriage and the death of her mother, Cheryl Strayed has lost all hope. After years of reckless, destructive behavior, she makes a rash decision. With absolutely no experience, driven only by sheer determination, Cheryl hikes more than a thousand miles of the Pacific Crest Trail, alone. Wild powerfully captures the terrors and pleasures of one young woman forging ahead against all odds on a journey that maddens, strengthens, and ultimately heals her.
