Universal Pictures has revealed the first trailer and poster for the upcoming fantasy drama Welcome to Marwen. Directed by Robert Zemeckis, the film is inspired by the 2010 documentary Marwencol and stars Steve Carell as Mark Hogancamp, an artist and photographer who constructs a miniature World War II village in his back yard to aid his recovery following a brutal attack which leaves him in a coma; take a look below…
When a devastating attack shatters Mark Hogancamp (Carell) and wipes away all memories, no one expected recovery. Putting together pieces from his old and new life, Mark meticulously creates a wondrous town where he can heal and be heroic. As he builds an astonishing art installation-a testament to the most powerful women he knows-through his fantasy world, he draws strength to triumph in the real one.
In a bold, wondrous and timely film from this revolutionary pioneer of contemporary cinema, Welcome to Marwen shows that when your only weapon is your imagination…you’ll find courage in the most unexpected place.
