Ammonite, a dramatic period piece set by the sea, couldn't be more romantic if it tried in its first trailer.
Based on a true story, the movie stars Kate Winslet as British paleontologist Mary Anning and Saoirse Ronan as Charlotte Murchison, a woman with "melancholia" whose husband has paid Anning to bring along as she searches for fossils on the coast. That bubbling attraction between Anning and Murchison is so clear and strong in this trailer, and with the backdrop of these two working together beside the sea, the spark is so palpable.
Ammonite premiers at the Toronto International Film Festival on Sept. 11.
