Teaser Trailer & Poster for Far from the Madding Crowd

When I looked at this teaser trailer for Far from the Madding Crowd, part of me had the horrible memory of having to learn this book at school and another part of me thought “oh a costume drama…” I’m sure it will do well because the signs are all there, especially with the connection to BBC Films.  They know how to do these films, it has an impressive cast and Thomas Hardy is one of those classic writers that are always popular, though his style is a little more depressing than most.

Based on the literary classic by Thomas Hardy, FAR FROM THE MADDING CROWD is the story of independent, beautiful and headstrong Bathsheba Everdene (Carey Mulligan), who attracts three very different suitors:  Gabriel Oak (Matthias Schoenaerts), a sheep farmer, captivated by her fetching wilfulness; 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.
