Winter's Tale (released in the United Kingdom as A New York Winter's Tale[2]) is an upcoming 2014 American supernatural drama film based on the 1983 novel by Mark Helprin. The film is directed and written by Akiva Goldsman and stars Colin Farrell as Peter Lake, Jessica Brown Findlay as Beverly Penn, Jennifer Connelly as Virginia Gamely, Russell Crowe as Pearly Soames, and Will Smith as Lucifer though originally credited as "Judge". The movie marks Goldsman's debut as director of a feature film.

Plot

Set in 1916 and present-day Manhattan, Winter's Tale follows the story of Peter Lake, a thief who falls in love with Beverly Penn, a dying girl who has tuberculosis and occupies one of the houses he breaks into. Lake is saved from the insane Irish gangster Pearly Soames and his henchmen by Athansor, a mysterious white horse who becomes his guardian angel.

Cast

Production

Development

Winter's Tale has been described as a "passion project" for director Akiva Goldsman, who was given the go-ahead for the film by Warner Bros. in February 2011 with a budget of $75 million.[4][5] It was reported that the film's budget was dropped to $46 million in February 2012; at the same time Will Smith and Russell Crowe were linked to the project in supporting roles.[6]

Various actors were considered for the central roles of Peter Lake and Beverley Penn. Benjamin Walker, Tom Hiddleston, Aaron Johnson and Garrett Hedlund auditioned for the role of Peter Lake[7] while Elizabeth Olsen, Bella Heathcote, Gabriella Wilde and Sarah Gadon tested for the role of Beverly.[8] In March 2012 it was reported that Jessica Brown Findlay had been offered the role of Beverly; Colin Farrell was linked to the role of Peter Lake in the following month.[7]

William Hurt joined the cast as Beverly's father, Isaac Penn, in August 2012.[9] In September 2012 multiple new cast members were announced, including Matt Bomer, Lucy Griffiths and Eva Marie Saint.[10] The final major addition to the cast was Jennifer Connelly, whose involvement was confirmed in October 2012 shortly before the start of filming.[11]

Filming

Principal photography began in October 2012, but was quickly delayed due to Hurricane Sandy.[12] Shooting took place at various locations across New York City including Grand Central Terminal, Red Hook, Brooklyn, East Village, Manhattan and Central Park.[13][14][15] Filming was also done at Lyndhurst (mansion) in Tarrytown, New York.[16] Cinematography was done by Caleb Deschanel.[17]

Music

The musical score for Winter's Tale is composed by KT Tunstall, Hans Zimmer, and Rupert Gregson-Williams.[17] A soundtrack album is scheduled to be released on February 11, 2014 by WaterTower Music.[18]

On February 4, 2014, four tracks were revealed on Soundcloud, and are scheduled for release on February 14. "Miracle", by Scottish singer and "Suddenly I See" star KT Tunstall would be the lead single of the soundtrack. Three other tracks are revealed each co-composed by Hans Zimmer and Rupert Gregson-Williams: "What's the Best Thing You've Ever Stolen?", "You Don't Quit Me, Boy", and "She Was Like a Bright Light".[19]
