‘The Odd Life of Timothy Green’ starring Jennifer Garner and Joel Edgerton

23 May 2012 7:05 AM, PDT | The Scorecard Review | See recent Scorecard Review news »

The Odd Life of Timothy Green

Directed by: Peter Hedges

Starring: Jennifer Garner, Joel Edgerton, Cj Adams

Rating: PG

Release Date: August 15, 2012

Trailer Score: 8/10

Thoughts by Tsr: When the first trailer for The Odd Life of Timothy Green was released I was mostly won over by the charm of its two stars, Jennifer Garner and Joel Edgerton. This offers much of the same, but overall it sells me on the film even more. I doubt it will be the type of film I’ll frequently revisit for years to come, but it looks like a sweet bit of counter-programming to wrap up the summer movie season.

The chemistry of Garner and Edgerton still shines, but here we get to see a bit more of the moppet who comes from the garden and into their lives. And you know what? Despite my tendency to not have much tolerance for most child actors, »

New Odd Life Of Timothy Green Trailer

10 May 2012 12:57 PM, PDT | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »

The first trailer for The Odd Life Of Timothy Green had the unfortunate effect of painting what should be a heartstring-tugging tale of family and belonging as something like a horror movie, with a child birthed from the ground showing up at his prospective parents’ house in the middle of the night and a raging storm. This latest promo, which you can watch below, has some of that air about it, but taps more into the feel-good flavour that director Peter Hedges is intending. <A href="http://www.bing.com/videos/browse?mkt=en-us&vid=8b7f2374-ae8b-4637-be27-988d37976f84&from=shareembed-syndication&src=v5:embed:syndication:&from=dest_en-us" target="_new" title="'The Odd Life of Timothy Green' movie trailer">Video: 'The Odd Life of Timothy Green' movie trailer</A>With a story by Ahmet Zappa, Timothy Green finds childless, adorable-beyond-belief couple Jim and Cindy Green, played by Jennifer Garner and Joel Edgerton (who are both charming enough to sell that abundance of cuteness without verging into sickening territory) burying a box of wishes for their perfect child in the back garden. Cue the arrival of young »

‘The Odd Life of Timothy Green’ Trailer Teases a Modern-Day Fairy Tale

10 May 2012 10:47 AM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »

Video: 'The Odd Life of Timothy Green' movie trailer

Disney is hoping to draw in families with a bit of counter-programming this summer, with The Odd Life of Timothy Green. The film is based on an original story by no-name actor Ahmet Zappa – who’s helping to develop the Tiki and Museum of the Weird movies for the Mouse House – with Oscar-nominated filmmaker Peter Hedges (Pieces of April, Dan in Real Life) handling screenwriting and directing duties.

Odd Life of Timothy Green revolves around married couple Cindy (Jennifer Garner) and Jim Green (Joel Edgerton), who have recently learned it is simply not feasible for them to have their own child together. As a means of dealing with shattered dreams, the two scribble down ideas for their “ideal ...

Disney’s latest live-action film, The Odd Life of Timothy Green, is due out in the Us this summer, and promises to be the studio’s usual blend of family wholesomely goodness.

Enchanting New Trailer For The Odd Life Of Timothy Green

10 May 2012 8:52 AM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »

Back in August, we got a look at Disney's upcoming film The Odd Life of Timothy Green, which introduced us to young boy who appears in the garden of a married couple. A new trailer has made its way online that gives us a better look at the story beyond the appearance of Timothy Green. Directed by Peter Hedges, The Odd Life of Timothy Green is described as an inspiring, magical story, which follows Cindy (Jennifer Garner) and Jim Green (Joel Edgerton), a married couple looking to start a family and, after a stormy night, find a child in their garden waiting for them. In the trailer released last year, we were given a better look at how all of this happens. It looks like Cindy and Jim were having trouble conceiving and, seemingly on a whim, came up with a wish list of sorts, creating their dream child on »

New Trailer for Disney's Whimsical 'The Odd Life of Timothy Green'

10 May 2012 8:17 AM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »

"There's something you need to know about me. I came from the garden." Honestly, as strange and peculiar as the first trailer for The Odd Life of Timothy Green seemed, there's a certain kind of magic to a live-action Disney movie like this. Jennifer Garner and Joel Edgerton star in the film, along with C.J. Adams as Timothy Green, a kid that comes from a box buried in their backyard after their inability to have a child on their own leaves with only the dreams of what their offspring might be like. Now we have a new trailer for the film, and while it looks a little sappy, I definitely want to see it later this year. Watch below! Here's the second trailer for Peter Hedges' The Odd Life of Timothy Green from MSN: Video: 'The Odd Life of Timothy Green' movie trailer An inspiring, magical story about »

Second The Odd Life of Timothy Green Trailer

10 May 2012 7:54 AM, PDT | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »

Walt Disney Pictures has taken the very disturbing 2001 dark comedy Little Otik and Disney-fied it into The Odd Life of Timothy Green. The story is the same; a young infertile couple discover a child has grown from a patch of grass in their backyard. From there, complications ensue. Only, I'm guessing, Timothy will take a different path than poor stump Otik. I don't envision this family film ending with a munch down on Jennifer Garner and Joel Edgerton's neighbors. After watching this second trailer, a third act blood bath seems quite unlikely. Check it out, then go rent Little Otik. (Trust me, you'll love it!)

The Odd Life of Timothy Green comes to theaters August 15th, 2012 and stars Jennifer Garner, Joel Edgerton, Ron Livingston, Rosemarie DeWitt, Dianne Wiest, Cameron Adams, Common, Michael Arden. The film is directed by Peter Hedges. »

Watch: Jennifer Garner & Joel Edgerton Grow A Magic Child In The Trailer For 'The Odd Life Of Timothy Green'

10 May 2012 7:40 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »

Ok seriously, just look at that image above. Does "The Odd Life Of Timothy Green" not seem like the most punchable movie of 2012? Well, if you need more convincing here's the brand new trailer for the movie, and warning: if you're a diabetic, this may send your blood/sugar levels through the roof.

Starring Jennifer Garner and Joel Edgerton (dude, you can do so much better than this) the Disney movie follows a couple, who after being unable to conceive a child, bury their wishes in the backyard only for some kid to grow out of the ground, come into their lives, and change them forever. You know, this is one of those movies where a kid manages to make dying people laugh, endear himself to adults and bring a little magic into the world, and we just threw up in our mouth a little bit. This seems like an »

Hollywood's Up-and-Coming Black Actors

3 February 2012 9:00 AM, PST | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »

February is Black History Month, and right now two African-American actors are Oscars front-runners (we're talking about you, Viola Davis and Octavia Spencer). Plus, the talented and beautiful Adepero Oduye and Paula Patton were included in Vanity Fair's annual Young Hollywood issue -- which is usually all white.

In keeping with the props bestowed upon Hollywood's black performers this month, we present 13 black actors (and a bonus couple of pop stars transitioning to film) whose names you should memorize now, because we're predicting big things, juicy roles and long careers for all of them.

Joel Edgerton to Pen One Night Stand

17 January 2012 | Comingsoon.net | See recent Comingsoon.net news »

Though he's best known for his acting resume (most recently appearing in Warrior and The Thing ), Joel Edgerton has, according to The Hollywood Reporter , now sold his screenplay entitled One Night Stand to New Regency and will stay involved as executive producer. Edgerton previously co-wrote the screenplay for the crime-thriller The Square , directed by his brother Nash Edgerton. One Night Stand is described as a comedic drama that focuses on a one night stand between a man and a woman and the ensuing consequences. Edgerton is not intending to star in the project, though he can soon be seen back on the big screen in Baz Luhrmann's The Great Gatsby and in Peter Hedges' The Odd Life of Timothy Green .
