Clive Owen stars in Scott Hicks’ upcoming drama “The Boys Are Back”, and a new trailer for the film has recently debuted online.

Inspired by a true story, “The Boys Are Back” is a deeply moving, wryly confessional tale of fatherhood, that intimately evokes both the fragility and wonders of family life. It 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. With turbulent emotions swirling just below the surface, Joe Warr throws himself into the only child-rearing philosophy he thinks has a shot at bringing joy back into their lives: “just say yes.” Raising two boys ? a curious six year-old and a rebel teen  from a previous marriage — in a household devoid of feminine influence, and with an unabashed lack of rules, life becomes exuberant, instinctual, reckless . . . and on the constant verge of disaster.

United by unspoken love, conflicted by fierce feelings and in search of a road forward, the three multi-generational boys of the Warr household, father and sons alike, must each find their own way, however tenuous, to grow up. Their story is not just about the transforming power of a family crisis — but the unavoidable grace of everyday life and love that gets them through.

Shot on location in the stunning countryside of South Australia, it stars Clive Owen, supported by Laura Fraser, George MacKay and Emma Booth, produced by Greg Brenman and Tim White.

“The Boys Are Back” will get its limited release in U.S. theaters on September, 25.
