Scritto da Matt Damon e John Krasinski, da un’idea di Dave Eggers, Promised Land è stato girato da Gus Van Sant ed è pronto a debuttare sugli schermi americani il 28 dicembre.
Nel cast oltre ai due attori-sceneggiatori, ci srtanno anche Rosemarie De Witt e Frances McDormand.
The story follows Steve Butler (Damon), a corporate salesman who arrives in a rural town with his sales partner, Sue Thomason (Frances McDormand). With the town having been hit hard by economic decline in recent years, the two outsiders see the local citizens as likely to accept their company’s offer for drilling rights to their properties as much-needed relief. What seems like an easy job for the duo becomes complicated by the objection of a respected schoolteacher (Hal Holbrook) with support from a grassroots campaign led by another man (Krasinski) who counters Steve both personally and professionally. The main idea that comes across here is the cost of personal integrity against financial and professional gain.
