It’s a hell of a cast. Guy Pearce, Forest Whitaker, Kate Beckinsale, Dakota Fanning, Jennifer Hudson, Jackie Earle Haley, Jeanne Tripplehorn, and Embeth Davidtz. The official premise though, not quite so impressive:

“A moment of random violence erupts in an ordinary Los Angeles diner. The survivors find that the meanings of their lives have changed. No matter how much their families and friends attempt to understand, these individuals must follow their own paths to recovery seeking to regain trust in a world that now seems chaotic. A story of tragedy and hope for our times, Winged Creatures is a powerful ensemble drama that explores the notion that our lives are fleeting, like birds in flight, like winged creatures.”

The trailer itself leaves me feeling pretty indifferent as well. I imagine it will be a good movie for some of these actors to showcase their chops (particularly, by the looks of it, Whitaker), but it still looks pretty uninteresting and very Oscar-bait-ish. Check it out yourself.
