The Scarlet Letter (2015) Official Trailer

A faithful film adaptation of Nathaniel Hawthorne's "The Scarlet Letter".

Set in a Puritan colony in the 1640’s, a nineteen-year-old Hester Prynne, whose older husband has been missing for three years, has an adulterous affair with the Reverend Arthur Dimmesdale. When Hester Prynne is discovered pregnant, she chooses not to reveal the father but rather bears the punishment herself. Yet, when her husband, Roger Chillingworth, returns from the wilderness to see her standing in shame before the town, he is determined to discover who the father is and psychologically torment him. Only by finding forgiveness from God can Arthur and Hester overcome the retribution and oppression that their sin and their society have cast upon them.

Directed by Elizabeth Berry. Produced by Stephen Berry.
Starring Molly Wilson, Kevin Wegner, John Risner, Michael Adragna, Olivia Jammer, and Mark Rios.
Soundtrack composed by Josué DeJesús.

The fact that everyone in this trailer is wearing trendy floppy hats is really throwing me off 

[youngfadula]

It does look like a high school production

[pennyculliton]

I haven't seen the whole film, but 90% of the dialogue here is not found in the novel. And there is NO reason to re-write Nathaniel Hawthorne, other than maybe to change a "thee" to a "you."

I’m pretty sure you aren’t supposed to get bored half way through a movie trailer

[ericcoleman]

After spending the last six months studying this book in college, I can't wait to see this film adaption. The world needs it. The characters are well cast, and the script well delivered! Just watching the trailer gave me shivers. Will definitely be waiting for the full release!

[benbug]

why can't this movie be released BEFORE I have my test on it?

[luciavillalta]

Whenever I listen to her saying those lines, I can't feel the real passion of an actress, it just seems that she is reading the script as she is trying to imitate a bad english accent, love the book but this girl doesn't make me want to watch the movie... :( okay, it looks like a high school production...

[kikip]

There are now three movies of The Scarlet Letter.
Congrats.

[lukeporras]

An animated movie or series would be miles better than any live action film that’s been made for this book.

[timeandtide]

those brows tho... gotta look good in the eyes of the lord

[fredrickroll]

Very faithful to Hawthorne's text, at any rate - as is my opera on the subject!

[harmoneekeitt]

I think you can get those same hats at Rue 21 *questions how legit movie is*

[meaghankehoe]

I’m dead lol her eyebrows and heavy mascara

[maycelium]

Wow, I'm actually really excited for this.
Especially if it's going to be an accurate adaptation from the book . . .
I have high hopes for this film.

[SoulShinesMusic]

This looks even worse than the 1995 version with Demi Moore. At least Gary Oldman was in that one and made it somewhat watchable.

[brookesorensen]

Just finished reading the book in my english class can't wait to see the movie

[beverlybrooks]

1979 WGBH 4 hour production, John Heard, Meg Foster, Kevin Conway is by far the best. Faultlessly faithful to the book and all the principals perfect.

[RaphaelRock]

Excuse me, but this is not about the original Scarlet Letter history, is about a something which have no critical sense. Read the book and you will understand what I talking about.

[PortalGuardian]

This looks ten million times better than the last movie. I will eagerly await for it to grace the local theaters.:)

[ChristineMAbrell]

This does not seem very historically accurate or even faithful to the book...
