Steve Carell is a Troubled Toy Photographer in Amazing Trailer for Welcome to Marwen


It's been a long time since Steve Carell played Michael Scott in The Office, and ever since he left, he's been working on more serious dramas as compared to his signature comedies. Now we have a new trailer for his latest film, Welcome to Marwen.

Here's the official description:

This holiday season, Academy Award® winner Robert Zemeckis—the groundbreaking filmmaker behind Forrest Gump, Flight and Cast Away—directs Steve Carell in the most original movie of the year. Welcome to Marwen tells the miraculous true story of one broken man's fight as he discovers how artistic imagination can restore the human spirit.

When a devastating attack shatters Mark Hogancamp (Carell) and wipes away all memories, no one expected recovery. Putting together pieces from his old and new life, Mark meticulously creates a wondrous town where he can heal and be heroic. As he builds an astonishing art installation—a testament to the most powerful women he knows—through his fantasy world, he draws strength to triumph in the real one.

In a bold, wondrous and timely film from this revolutionary pioneer of contemporary cinema, Welcome to Marwen shows that when your only weapon is your imagination…you'll find courage in the most unexpected place.

Robert Zemeckis has always found a way to the heart of moviegoers, and I have no doubt that Welcome to Marwen is another film that tugs at the heartstrings. As someone who loves to collect toys myself, it's interesting to see a film based on someone so passionate about the hobby.

Though I do miss Carell doing comedy every now and again, he does seem to be very attuned to the more serious roles that he's been getting. I have no doubt that this movie will still have laughs as well.

Welcome to Marwen hits theaters Nov. 21.
