Nebraska

Nebraska

Nebraska is already one of the most talked about movies of the autumn, and it won't be hitting the big screen for another three weeks.

Ever since it premiered at the Cannes Film Festival earlier this year just about everyone is raving about the central performance from Bruce Dern; it looks like he is a serious contender when it comes to the Best Actor Oscar.

Nebraska is a movie that we are looking forward to this December and here is a brand new clip for you to check out:

Nebraska marks the return of Alexander Payne to the director's chair for the first time since he enjoyed success with The Descendants at the beginning of 2012.

Payne is famed for making fantastic character driven dramas - The Descendants and Sideways being the perfect examples - and Nebraska looks set to follow that fine tradition.

Bruce Dern teams up with Will Forte as they play a father and son in the drama.

Stubborn, taciturn Woody (Dern) believes he’s got one last shot at mattering: a notice that he’s the lucky winner of a million-dollar sweepstakes.

To claim his fortune, Woody insists he must quickly get to the sweepstakes company’s office in Nebraska - a 750-mile journey that seems unlikely given that he can barely shuffle down the road a few blocks, at least not without stopping for a drink.

Worried for his father’s state of mind, it falls to Woody’s reluctant, baffled son David (Will Forte) to accompany him on a trip that seems hilariously futile on the surface.

When Woody and David make a pit-stop in their hometown of Hawthorne - with the Grant’s tart-tongued matriarch (June Squibb) and anchor-man son (Bob Odenkirk) joining them - word of Woody’s fortune makes him a returning hero, while also opening a view into the unseen lives of David’s parents and a past more alive than he ever imagined.

Bruce Dern has already picked up a Best Actor award at the Cannes Film Festival, so don't be surprised if he walks away with a few more gongs this festival season.

Nebraska is released 6th December.
