Clive Owen in powerful 'Boys Are Back' trailer

Clive Owen stars in Scott Hicks' upcoming drama "The Boys Are Back," and a new trailer for the film has recently debuted online. Check it out after the jump; it's a powerful one.

Based on the novel by Simon Carr, the film follows a witty, wisecracking, action-oriented sportswriter who, in the wake of his wife's tragic death, finds himself in a sudden, stultifying state of single parenthood.

Tommy Bastow, Laura Fraser, George MacKay, Emma Booth, Natasha Little and Erik Thomson co-star in the film, which will hit limited release Sept. 25, 2009.

Hicks’ directing credits include “Hearts in Atlantis,” “No Reservations” and “Glass: A Portrait of Philip in Twelve Parts.” Allan Cubitt adapted Carr's novel. Looks good. It's definitely one I will be looking for this fall.
