Watch and Listen: New Trailer for Homesman and a Listen to the Music

Hillary Swank in The Homesman

The Homesman starts this weekend in theaters. It’s a film about women, but the title talks about a man. Go figure. The film stars Tommy Lee Jones and Hillary Swank. Tommy Lee Jones is also the director and wrote the screenplay.

I’m thinking Mary Bee Cuddy might turn out to be one of the more interesting characters to appear in a film in a very long time. Tough, independent, brave and real. In this film, there’s no flying through the air like The Dauntless, no 16 year old girls saving the world with a bow and arrow. Nothing against that kind of female heroine, but this story is much more down to earth. It’s about how real women endured (or failed to endure) the hardships of the prairies during the mid 19th Century.

The International trailer has some scenes that we haven’t seen before.

The music from the movie uses several unusual instruments that reflect the sounds of the beautiful New Mexico countryside where it was filmed. Tommy Lee Jones and composer Marco Beltrami discuss how the haunting melodies were conceived and recorded.
