The players: Director: Gina Prince-Bythewood, Writer: Gina Prince-Bythewood, Cast: Queen Latifah, Dakota Fanning, Jennifer Hudson, Sophie Okonedo, Alicia Keys

Facts of interest: Based on the book by Sue Monk Kidd.

The plot: A young girl (Dakota Fanning) and her caregiver (Jennifer Hudson) flee to a small South Carolina town, where they find shelter with a kind-hearted African-American family of beekeepers.

'The Secret Life of Bees' trailer is here!

DateMonday, August 18, 2008 at 12:57PM | By AuthorFranck Tabouring


A few weeks ago we posted the new poster for Gine Prince-Bythewood's "The Secret Life of Bees" right here, and today we are happy to add the brand-new trailer for the upcoming adaptation of Sue Monk Kidd's bestseller. You can check it out just above.

Starring Queen Latifah, Jennifer Hudson, Alicia Keys, Dakota Fanning and Sophie Okonedo, the film centers on a 14-year-old girl who runs away with her caregiver to uncover the secret of her late mother’s past. The footage above looks pretty good, promising plenty of solid performances in what will undoubtedly be a warmhearted drama.

"The Secret Life of Bees" opens everywhere Oct. 17.
