The newest title from the team behind Sing Sing is getting ready to debut on Netflix, just in time for another Oscars season.
Following its Sundance Film Festival premiere earlier this year, the streamer released the first teaser for director Clint Bentley’s Train Dreams on Thursday, giving audiences as glimpse at Joel Edgerton in the American epic.
Based on Denis Johnson’s beloved novella, Train Dreams is the moving portrait of Robert Grainier (Edgerton), a logger and railroad worker who leads a life of unexpected depth and beauty in the rapidly-changing America of the early 20th Century.
