Stronger is the inspiring true story of Jeff Bauman, an ordinary man who captured the hearts of his city and the world to become the symbol of hope following the infamous 2013 Boston Marathon bombing. Jake Gyllenhaal stars as Jeff, a 27-year-old, working-class Boston man who was at the marathon to try and win back his ex-girlfriend Erin (Tatiana Maslany). Waiting for her at the finish line when the blast occurs, he loses both his legs in the attack. After regaining consciousness in the hospital, Jeff is able to help law enforcement identify one of the bombers, but his own battle has just begun. He tackles months of physical and emotional rehabilitation with the unwavering support of Erin and his family. It is Jeff’s deeply personal account of the heroic journey that tests a family’s bond, defines a community’s pride and inspires his inner courage to overcome devastating adversity. Filled with raw emotion, humanity and humor, Stronger is the inspirational real-life story of the man who became the living embodiment of “Boston Strong.” The film also stars Academy Award® nominee Miranda Richardson and is directed by David Gordon Green.

Gyllenhaal is on a roll these last few years with all these character roles.

I will be there for Tatiana (and the rest of the movie looks really good, too), but it will be weird watching her play just one character for an entire movie.

Certainly looks better than Patriots Day. About damn time Hollywood started paying attention to Tatiana Maslany, too.

 

[Hurm...]

This looks fantastic (one of my favourite cinematographers - Sean Bobbitt). Patriots Day was mediocre IMO.

The only good thing about Orphan Black ending is that hopefully it'll free her schedule up to take on some big projects. I was really pulling for her to get Rogue One, but I'm actually glad she didn't get Terminator: Genysis. I don't think that movie helped anyone or.
