Newcomer Thomas Horn will make you cry in first “Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close” trailer

Teen Jeopardy champion Thomas Horn makes his feature film debut and apparently carries the whole movie in “Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close”, the 9/11-centric family drama that sees Tom Hanks and Sandra Bullock as his parents. Based on the best-selling, critically acclaimed 2005 novel from Jonathan Safran Foer, Horn plays Oskar, an “eleven-year-old amateur inventor, jewelry designer, astrophysicist, tambourine player and pacifist, who searches New York for the lock that matches a mysterious key left by his father when he was killed in the September 11 attacks.” Max Von Sydow, Viola Davis, John Goodman and Jeffrey Wright round out the star studded cast.

The Stephen Daldry film, set for release on Christmas Day, is one of the final question marks in this year’s Oscar race. Judging from this first trailer, it seems to be a heavy contender indeed. Could Horn get a Best Actor nom at the tender age of 13, for his first acting job ever? Seems impossible, but his acting proves up to the challenge from what we can see so far. Suffice to say, “Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close” just shot straight to the top of our Most Anticipated Movies list.
