Watch Carey Mulligan In Gorgeous FAR FROM THE MADDING CROWD Trailer

The exquisite first trailer has come online for director Thomas Vinterberg’s FAR FROM THE MADDING CROWD.

Based on the literary classic by Thomas Hardy, FAR FROM THE MADDING CROWD is the story of independent, beautiful and headstrong Bathsheba Everdene (the lovely Carey Mulligan), who attracts three very different suitors: Gabriel Oak (Matthias Schoenaerts), a sheep farmer, captivated by her fetching willfulness; Frank Troy (Tom Sturridge), a handsome and reckless Sergeant; and William Boldwood (Michael Sheen), a prosperous and mature bachelor.

This timeless story of Bathsheba’s choices and passions explores the nature of relationships and love – as well as the human ability to overcome hardships through resilience and perseverance.

Beautifully shot by Charlotte Bruus Christensen (THE HUNT), the film’s score is by Craig Armstrong ( THE GREAT GATSBY, upcoming FRANKENSTEIN).

The book finished 10th on the Guardian‘s list of greatest love stories of all time and in 2003, the novel was listed at number 48 on the BBC’s survey The Big Read

While there are several takes on Hardy’s fourth novel, perhaps the best known is John Schlesinger’s 1967 adaptation starring Julie Christie, Terence Stamp, Peter Finch, and Alan Bates.

From Fox Searchlight Pictures, FAR FROM THE MADDING CROWD is scheduled to be released May 2015.
