Worth Watching - April 20: Henry Poole Is Here Trailer

The first trailer for Mark Pellington's comedy Henry Poole Is Here has finally debuted. The film initially debuted at the Sundance Film Festival and was bought by Overture Films. Luke Wilson stars as Henry Poole, a guy who has nearly given up on life until his neighbor finds the face of Jesus in the stucco on his wall. Yea, it's a high concept, but apparently it played pretty well at Sundance and it looks at least mediocre. Maybe it's better than this trailer is making it out to be? At least they chose some great music and at least Radha Mitchell looks like a worthy addition to the cast.

Henry Poole Is Here is directed by music video director Mark Pellington, who also directed Arlington Road and U2 3D as well. The film was written by newcomer Albert Torres. After debuting at the Sundance Film Festival in January this, Henry Poole Is Here is being released in theaters on August 15th.

The music is good and this trailer is decent… but if its to preachy and more about Jesus, then I don't want to see it… that just ain't my thing. It is an interesting concept though considering how people reacted to the Mary face in the grilled cheese sandwich… I just don't get people.

Maybe they'll spin it so that it's not focused on "Jesus" but instead showing how faith (in anything) can change lives. Regardless, it's got that indie feel and I'll be seeing it.
