A dock worker Jude (Jim Sturgess) travels to America in the 1960s to find his estranged father. There he falls in love with sheltered American teenager Lucy (Evan Rachel Wood). When her brother Max (Joe Anderson) is drafted to fight in the Vietnam War, they become involved in peace activism.
An original musical film, Across The Universe is a fictional love story set in the 1960s amid the turbulent years of anti-war protest, the struggle for free speech and civil rights, mind exploration and rock and roll. At once gritty, whimsical and highly theatrical, the story moves from high schools and universities in Massachusetts, Princeton and Ohio to the Lower East Side of Manhattan, the Detroit riots, the killing fields of Vietnam and the dockyards of Liverpool. A combination of live action and painted and three-dimensional animation, the film is paired with many Beatles songs that defined the time.
Watch the trailer here.
From the looks of the trailer the cinematography appears to be awesome! Not only that, it seems knee-deep in Beatles covers (hopefully living up to I Am Sam).
After exploring further into it I was really dissapointed to find out one of the "peace movement" leaders in the film is (take a guess) Bono. He seems pretty far down on the list however so hopefully it's just a small cameo.
We've got a while to wait though... set to come out in September of this year.
