Trailer for White Bird in a Blizzard Starring Shailene Woodley

Posted on August 23, 2014

Shailene Woodley stars in the trailer for White Bird in a Blizzard which is based on the novel by Laura Kasischke. Shailene plays Kat Connors, a 17 year-old who is just finding her way in life.

One day her perfectionist, perfect housewife mother Eve (Eva Green) just disappears. Her mild-mannered father Brock (Christopher Meloni) seems unable to cope and Kat disappears into her new social life with the boy next door and her girlfriends.

Kat seeks counseling when the grief over her mother's disappearance hits and eventually goes off to college. When she returns from school she discovers some horrifying truths about her family. The film also stars Thomas Jane as the detective who investigates the mother's disappearance, Angela Bassett as the therapist, Gabourey Sidibe and Mark Indelicato as Kat's school friends.

The film was directed by Gregg Araki, who also wrote the adapted screenplay which should give you some idea of the themes of the film. Kat is quite precocious and her affair with the neighbor next door spurs a mental break in Kat's extremely emotionally disturbed mother. Eva Green brings the full crazy to the role with her June Cleaver ensembles, her perfection and the roiling anger that's always just under the surface. Shailene has several pretty racy love scenes in the film which premiered at Sundance.

The film will be available in theaters on October 24th and on Demand on September 25th.
