“In this singular exploration of legacy, love, loss, and the enormity of existence, a recently deceased, white-sheeted ghost returns to his suburban home to try and reconnect with his bereft wife.”
Written and directed by David Lowery (Ain't Them Bodies Saints, Pete's Dragon), A Ghost Story is a unique romantic drama about loss and the attempt to reconnect with those we leave behind. I have been hearing about this film as it has been the talk of the recent Sundance Film Festival, and I have been patiently waiting for a trailer to release. Well, that time has FINALLY come! I absolutely loved Lowery's Ain't Them Bodies Saints, which is a very artsy Bonnie & Clyde type love story that also stars Rooney Mara and Casey Affleck. Very few people have seen this movie but if you have the opportunity, it is worth checking out. The full cast includes Casey Affleck, Rooney Mara, Will Oldham, and Grover Coulson. Check out the official trailer below!
Ted Takes Fun Facts, A Ghost Story:
- The writer and director of A Ghost Story David Lowery had been trying to enter Sundance Film Festival with one of his films for 15 years, but he didn't let the rejections bring him down, so he kept on progressing and he finally made it.
- Due to the fact that Lowery was unsure as to how it would turn out, filming was hidden to the public. The project wasn't announced until months after filming had wrapped.
- Shot in Irving, Texas, the film was self-financed by Lowery using the funds made from Pete's Dragon.
