The makers of Joel Edgerton and Felicity Jones' starrer feature Train Dreams trailer is finally out. Writer-director Clint Bentley's movie is set to hit theatres on November 7, before it begins streaming on November 21, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Kerry Condon and William H. Macy also star in the film, which premiered earlier this year at the Sundance Film Festival and also screened at last month's Toronto International Film Festival, according to the outlet. &nbsp;Train Dreams stars Edgerton as Robert Grainier, a logger in the Pacific Northwest who seeks to balance caring for his family while pursuing a living on the burgeoning railroad system.

"I didn't think you'd be home this soon," Jones tells Edgerton in the trailer. He replies, "I just couldn't stop walking until I got here." &nbsp;Netflix shared the trailer on their Instagram handle on Wednesday. Bentley (Jockey) helmed the film from a script he wrote with Greg Kwedar that is based on author Denis Johnson's 2011 novella, according to The Hollywood Reporter. &nbsp;Bentley and Kwedar previously worked on the screenplay for Sing Sing, which earned them an Oscar nomination. &nbsp;Producers for Train Dreams include Marissa McMahon, Teddy Schwarzman, Will Janowitz, Ashley Schlaifer and Michael Heimler. Edgerton, Kwedar, John Friedberg and Scott Hinckley serve as executive producers.

Felicity Jones to star in and produce ‘Blood Mother’

What can one say—correction; what ‘new’ can one say—about love that hasn’t already been said before in cinema? Director Augustine Frizzell’s visual adaptation of Jojo Moyes’ book by the same name goes on to defy the various logic-of-love ideologies sticking to the ever-elusive concept of love—one “rich in emotions” letter at a time.&nbsp;

<img alt="A love saga that's filled with passion" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="8b2291c3-8ac3-4186-b6e8-990b211c8708" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/pjimage%20%28100%29.jpg" />

‘La Piscine’, ‘Juene &amp; Julie’, beloved Woody Allen’s ‘magic In The Moonlight’ and many&nbsp;iconic films have their origins engrained in the Mediterranean coastline of France—The French Riviera. Naturally, Frizzell’s love saga has stiff competition standing on its path and a story, all too common. Two young but dejected-in-love Englishmen meet on a sunny morning—a cocky yet admirable financial journalist, Anthony O’Hare (Callum Turner), is besotted by Mrs. Jenny Stirlings’ (Shailene Woodley) undaunted frankness about her life and knowledge of the worldly ways, and Jenny, taken aback by his shameless belittlement of her high-brow British life and a successful but petty&nbsp;husband, Larry (Joe Alwyn). “My wife considers anything not in the pages of Vogue unworthy of her time and attention,” he patronizes the wife.&nbsp;

 
Nonetheless, the ‘illicit' romantics'&nbsp;burning chemistry and suppressed desires could fill up a room in smoke &amp; fires. But, in 1965, ‘adulteress’ women are disowned by their near and dear ones—regardless of the circumstances under which one might&nbsp;have ‘sinned’.

Bygone decades may have perished what could very well pass as youthful exuberance but an eager journalist with The London Tribune, Ellie Haworth (Felicity Jones), in 2017, stumbles over the exchanged love letters by fluke. Curious, almost obsessed, Ellie vows to trace the two, their story, their post office boxes, and possibly, help them reunite. If they haven’t already.&nbsp;

 
Some films are helmed by perfectionists and hence, each frame we see on the big canvas is staged and rehearsed, while others go with the flow. This one is inclined towards&nbsp;the latter. The setting is split into two halves, two timelines—one parked in wartime and mayhem with elitism at its heart, and the other, in the contemporary ‘WhatsApp’ and ‘ghosting’ world. ‘The Last Letter From Your Lover’ bounces back and forth between these two timelines, only to converge in the end. Frizzell may lose the initial charm rendered by the butterflies-in-your-stomach, maple-leaves-in-my-hair type of art direction, but he resurrects the script with his leads'&nbsp;aid. “Marylebone station, Friday, at 7:15 pm. I will wait for you,”—the maker’s flirting with the element of intrigue convinces us—the viewers—to stay hooked till the sun goes down on this one.&nbsp;

Call it habituality, but Shailene Woodley naturally beefs our expectations up, especially when she is headlining a woman-hopelessly-in-love saga on screen. Has ‘The Fault In Our Stars’ rendition spoilt us a bit too much? Maybe. In her expensive-looking fedoras, satin-smooth dresses, through her winged eyeliner and kohl-rimmed eyes, Shailene Woodley speaks a thousand emotions a mile. It also helps that her camaraderie with the suave and sexy Callum Turner translates on screen in a fashion prerequisite for a love story, substantially&nbsp;of the primitive kind. In the world of romance, they are Yin and Yang.&nbsp;

 
Felicity Jones is earnest in being an emotionally bankrupt workaholic sprinkling specks of modernity all over the script, for authenticity’s sake, perhaps. However, she seems out of it—more so in the second half. Her partner-in-crime Rory (Nabhaan Rizwan) is amicable as the needy, nerdy archivist. If they are the catalyst for the big reveal, then they have done their job right.

Other than the clothes and bouffant hair, ‘The Last Letter From Your Lover’ deserves a shoutout for capturing the essence of that long-lost&nbsp;era through music. From Nancy Sinatra’s ‘Summer Wine’ to ‘Johnny Boy’ by Melanie, the heart and soul of the late 60s is locked up in these timeless pieces; all retrieved—in their crude form—for this retelling of old-school love.

 
‘The Last Letter From Your Lover’ may get whiplashed for lack of originality, and even schooled for not having brought in newer forms of expression in this done-to-death genre. But, hey, some movies are all heart and this one’s that. Like Anthony "Boot"&nbsp;O’Hare says, “… you have my heart in your hands.” So, come… fall in love!&nbsp;

‘The Last Letter From Your Lover’ review: That elusive thing called love

George Clooney who is gearing up for the next space saga ' The Midnight Sky', recently revealed why he had to work again on the movie script after he learned about Felicity Jones pregnancy.&nbsp; 
 
The 59-year-old actor said in an interview, when they were on their early stage of the production and two-three week into shooting,&nbsp;and at that time actress called him to deliver the good news.&nbsp; 
 
''About three or four weeks into shooting, I got a call from Felicity,'' he said. ''We started shooting the Iceland parts in October of last year, and we were going to shoot the space parts in January. She calls me and goes, 'Uhhh, I'm pregnant'. I was like, 'Oh, s**t! You're kidding!''.&nbsp; 
 
''The first thing we tried to do was shoot her and just do the head replacement. Meaning we shoot each scene with her three times: once with her, once with a body double, and once with nothing in it, '' Clooney explained. 
 
George went on, and added, The first thing we tried to do was shoot her and just do the head replacement. Meaning we shoot each scene with her three times: once with her, once with a body double, and once with nothing in it. But we started looking at it and thought, ‘She’s not comfortable in this sort of thing'', &nbsp;he says. 
 
''Then it was simply sitting down and going, 'Okay, so, you know, people have sex! They're going to be in space for a long time and she’s pregnant''. ''I think it ends up adding to the story, in away. It makes it kind of beautiful by the end.'' George added. 
 
A few days back, Clooney released his new look,&nbsp;and some pictures from the movie. <a href="http://13.235.153.162/entertainment/in-pics-george-clooneys-not-so-70s-look-from-netflix-upcoming-space-saga-the-midnight-sky-330655">You can see the first look pics here!</a>

Eddie Redmayne and Felicity Jones reunite for 'The Aeronauts'

Well-wishers filled the streets of Cambridge on Saturday for the funeral of British physicist Stephen Hawking, hailed by another leading scientist as "an imprisoned mind roaming the cosmos".

Hawking, crippled since a young man by a degenerative disease, beat the odds stacked against him to became the most celebrated scientist of his era. His work ranged from the origins of the universe itself, through time travel and probing black holes in space.

He achieved international renown after the publication of "“A Brief History of Time" in 1988.

His coffin was topped with white "Universe" lilies and white "Polar Star" roses and carried by pallbearers from the University of Cambridge, where he worked. It was greeted by a large crowd outside the church who clapped as it was carried in.

The 76-year-old scientist was mourned by his children Robert, Lucy and Timothy, joined by guests including playwright Alan Bennett, businessman Elon Musk and model Lily Cole.

Eddie Redmayne, the actor who played Professor Hawking in the 2014 film "The Theory of Everything" was one of the readers in the ceremony and Felicity Jones, who played his wife, Jane Hawking in the film also attended the service.

The ceremony included space-themed music composed specially for Hawking called "Beyond the Night Sky", inspired by a poem and quotes from "A Brief History of Time" and whistling and "shh" sounds based on recordings of space.

Astronomer Royal Martin Rees, a personal friend, read from Plato's Apology 40, "The Death of Socrates", which talks of the search for knowledge persisting after death.

Confined to a wheelchair for most of his life after being diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease when he was 21, Hawking's towering intellect and sheer persistence struck a chord with ordinary people, Rees said in an appreciation published earlier this month.

"Why did he become such a 'cult figure'? The concept of an imprisoned mind roaming the cosmos plainly grabbed people's imagination," he said.

"His name will live in the annals of science millions have had their cosmic horizons widened by his best-selling books and even more, around the world, have been inspired by a unique example of achievement against all the odds – a manifestation of amazing will-power and determination."

Hawking's ashes will be interred at Westminster Abbey in June, among some of the greatest scientists in history, Isaac Newton and Charles Darwin.
