When Jon Stewart stepped away from his Daily Show desk last summer to direct his first feature film, fans of the fake news anchor knew that the project would be quite different than anything we've seen from Stewart before. But it wasn't clear how different it would be -- until now.
The debut trailer for Rosewater, based on the best-selling book Then They Came for Me: A Family’s Story of Love, Captivity, and Survival, is our first look at Gael García Bernal as journalist Maziar Bahari, who was imprisoned and tortured in Iran in 2009, and held for more than 100 days.
