The first trailer for "Woman in Gold" has been made available for viewing pleasure, giving a look at the unlikely collaboration between a refugee from Nazi Austria and a young lawyer who team up to reclaim a stolen painting. Helen Mirren plays Holocaust survivor Maria Altmann, while Ryan Reynolds takes the role of her lawyer E. Randol Schoenberg.
As hinted by the trailer, their attempt to recover Gustav Klimt's iconic painting of her aunt stolen from Altmann's family by the Nazis is going to face big challenge from the government of Austria. But Altmann doesn't show any sign of backing down, refusing to return empty handed. "This is like a James Bond film. You're Sean Connery," so she describes their fight for the painting called "The Lady in Gold".
The true-story film is directed by Simon Curtis with a script by Alexi Kaye Campbell and Alex Campbell. Also starring Katie Holmes, Daniel Bruhl and Tatiana Maslany, it will be released in select theaters in the U.S. on April 3, 2015.
