Cameron Crowe‘s last film was the lackluster 2011 release We Bought a Zoo and four years later he’s back with Aloha, which is already battling negative word of mouth as a result of a delayed release date and a negative email correspondence from the studio’s Chairperson, Amy Pascal, following the email hack of Sony Pictures. So to say the film is being looked at with a crooked eye is an understatement and yet, when you have the filmmaker that brought us Jerry Maguire, Vanilla Sky and most notably Almost Famous, people still tend to want to hope for the best. Add a cast that includes Bradley Cooper, Emma Stone, Rachel McAdams, Bill Murray, Danny McBride and Alec Baldwin and that hope increases.
Today I have twenty pictures from the upcoming movie along with the first clip just below, but first the synopsis:
A 37-year-old disgraced US weapons consultant named Brian Gilcrest (Bradley Cooper) is disliked by most everyone. His only friend is a techie named Jeremy “a super-smart and highly aware computer”. As a response to aggression from China, Gilcrest is deployed to a dormant military base in Hawaii to supervise the launch of an advanced spy satellite. Together with the anal and humorless Major Lisa Ng, he must secure the blessings of the native Hawaiian council before the launch. Gilcrest also gets a chance to meet with Tracy (Rachel McAdams), the one love of his life who got away, along with her husband and two kids. On the island he discovers himself.
Aloha hits theaters on May 29, check out the pics and clip below.
