Things are heating up for the highly anticipated drama from Steven Spielberg’s War Horse, starring Emily Watson, David Thewlis and Jeremy Irvine. After a brief photo set for some time, and that fiasco of the release date – which displaced the horse in its war on August 10, 2011 initial openness to a more awards-Savy December 28, 2011 – we are pleased to to know the film’s official synopsis, courtesy of DreamWorks.
We have long had access to the synopsis of the film (which is based on a work which, in turn, an adaptation of a children’s book after all), but still, the beard has seen fit to grant ” official “summary of your movie, adding a few minutes (even spoiler-ish) details. Hit the jump for the synopsis and more.Okay, so maybe the news is not that open, but at least something.
This is the official synopsis:
Director Steven Spielberg’s “War Horse”, an epic adventure for audiences of all ages. On a sweeping canvas of rural England and Europe during the First World War, “War Horse” begins with the remarkable friendship between a horse named Joey and a young man named Albert, who tames and trains him. When opened strongly, the film follows the extraordinary journey of the horse as it moves through the war, change and inspire the lives of all those he meets British cavalry, German soldiers and a French farmer and his granddaughter before the story reaches its emotional climax in the heart of no man’s land.
“War Horse” is one of the great stories of friendship and war, a successful book became an international hit a great theatrical success that comes next year on Broadway. The First World War is experienced through the journey of this horse, a journey of joy and sadness, friendship, passion and adventure. Now comes the epic screen adaptation of one of the greatest directors in film history.
This is the synopsis of the book through Amazon:
In 1914, Joey, a beautiful bay colt red with a distinctive cross on his nose, is sold to the army and the guidance in the midst of war on the Western Front. But even in the desolation of the trenches, Joey’s courage touches the soldiers around him and is able to find warmth and hope.

Unfortunately, more recent projects we are linking with Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, Beyond and The Lovely Bones. Add next Christmas’ The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn, War Horse in addition to his planned adaptation of Daniel H. Wilson ’s Robopocalyspe and you have an imminent return to form of the beard, whose last major movie was way back in 2002 for Catch Me If You Can (if you ask me). I must say I am a big fan of all things Spielberg. Saving Private Call Seabiscuit, if you will.War Horse, in particular, seems likely to replace in the Oscar race, which with its backdrop of World War I, and little horse-that-could story. (Well, he produced the excellent HBO mini-series The Pacific, too, but cinematically man record track of recent times has been pretty average.) And yet here we are on the verge of a possible (perhaps even monumental) back, what with True Grit (producing) continuing around the corner, let alone the next a number of promising new Transformers movie: The Dark Side of the Moon, JJ Abram Super 8, Real Steel Cowboys and Aliens on the horizon.
This is shaping up to be a good drink of water after a long drought in fact
