International Movie Trailer: Eat Pray Love

Posted on Friday, June 18th, 2010 by Peter Sciretta

Sony has released an international movie trailer for Ryan Murphy’s adaptation of Elizabeth Gilbert’s best-selling memoir Eat Pray Love (in March they released a domestic trailer). Julia Roberts plays “a happily married woman realizes her life needs to go in a different direction, and after a painful divorce, she takes off on a round-the-world journey.” Like Julie & Julia, this feels like it was probably a much better book than it will be a feature film. Watch the trailer now, embedded after the jump.

Thanks to Heyuguys for finding the trailer

Official Info:

Liz Gilbert (Julia Roberts) had everything a modern woman is supposed to dream of having – a husband, a house, a successful career – yet like so many others, she found herself lost, confused, and searching for what she really wanted in life. Newly divorced and at a crossroads, Gilbert steps out of her comfort zone, risking everything to change her life, embarking on a journey around the world that becomes a quest for self-discovery. In her travels, she discovers the true pleasure of nourishment by eating in Italy; the power of prayer in India, and, finally and unexpectedly, the inner peace and balance of true love in Bali. Based upon the bestselling memoir by Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat Pray Love proves that there really is more than one way to let yourself go and see the world.

Directed by: Ryan Murphy

Screenplay by: Ryan Murphy & Jennifer Salt

Based on the Book by: Elizabeth Gilbert
Cast: Julia Roberts, James Franco, Richard Jenkins, Viola Davis, Billy Crudup and Javier Bardem

This film is not yet rated by the MPAA.

Eat, Pray, Love hits theaters on August 13th 2010.

and one more important note...the point of the movie is that when you let these things go the "universe" (aka your intuition) will be there to guide you along and great things happen. Don't believe me, try it.

To all of you up there hung-up on the money thing. GET OVER IT! So what if she had a lot of money, so what if her job helped her to travel and so what if she had a career. You've TOTALLY missed the point and stop making excuses for your self. The point is that those things were worthless. Yes she had a lot of money we all live a different journey the point is here to let go of all of those things and what you think you are and live for this moment and only this moment. It may take you down the street it may take you across the world but you will be where ever you are suppose to be. Indeed I know plenty of world travelers who travel on just about nothing. So quit it with the negative, it's bad energy for your soul and for everyone else's! Be brave.

Julia Roberts is an incredibly sensitive human being and a superb actress. Were she desperate for Oscars, she might have stayed with films like Pretty Woman which earned her a nomination near the beginning of her career. She is choosing to play parts which interest her because she is at that stage in her career. Julia has earned the right to be respected for her acting regardless of the movie in which she is cast. I will go to see her acting, grateful that I don't have to watch violence or horrid fantasy.

Chuckowsky

Does the think she'll get an Oscar for that as she must have thought about Charlie Wilson's War?

Captain_Howdy

She already has an Oscar. Is she that desperate for another?

come on

i don't understand why everyone has to hate on something about self discovery. get over julia roberts, get over her financial status. the point is that who has the guts to go on their own to places they've never been for an entire year, just to learn about life in other cultures and hopefully find themselves? sorry it's not about a dorky teenage boy who finds out he has superpowers which will never happen to any of you, so go home and cry in your raviolios over that.

I HATE THE SENTENCE

"a happily married woman realizes her life needs to go in a different direction, and after a painful divorce, she takes off on a round-the-world journey.”

HOW IS SHE "HAPPILY MARRIED" UNDER THIS SCENARIO. THERE IS NO JUSTIFICATION. NONE. HER HUSBAND NOT CHEATING ON HER OR ABUSING HER DOES NOT EQUAL "HAPPILY MARRIED". SHE LEAVES HER HUSBAND THUS IS NOT "HAPPILY MARRIED" AHHHHHHH AHHHHHH AHHHHHH

This makes me want to punch Julia Roberts in the face. Seriously. "I'm so depressed by my highly successful business life that I want to take a year off--and i'm financially capable of such--to travel to places like Italy and Bali."

Yes, a book written about this has a way of propelling YOU the reader into these places and transfering the touching moments and beauty of it to YOU the reader. Watching a movie about it is like just watching someone eat a wonderful meal; it's sort of neat but mostly just pisses you off that you have Raviolios again for dinner!

James

the purpose of her trip was more then to just see pretty places. As cheesy as it sounds, it really was a religious experience and a journey of self-discovery. For 4 months of her trip she lived in humble dwellings, did manual labor for hours a day, and spent the rest of the day fighting her personal demons. Her highly successful business life wasn't what made her depressed. read the book or what the movie before you make such assumptions about character motivations.

evilninjax

My reaction was to the trailer. and that was what the trailer set up. I can imagine that the book (being so popular) was about more than just pretty-ness and from the sounds of it, the book has that gravitas that books can give. Well pointed out.

But i can't imagine this film actually achieving anything like that, especially given this trailer.

HTH

freemachine

Gee, I wish I could take off and travel the world when I had relationship problems.

James

to be fair, her "relationship problems" involved a nasty divorce. Yes, it's nice to have the resources to go live abroad for a year but as anyone who's even slightly well-off...heck, as anyone with a brain will tell you, having money doesn't equal happiness and her leaving wasn't just to get away from a bad relationship. It was to get away from a bad life.

Also, she was, I beleive, a free-lance travel writer already and a published author of a few books, so her travels doubled as work.

Lanita

The book and, evidently, the movie, are works about the ultimate in egotism and self-centeredness. Very hard to relate to if you have a leniency to caring about others' feelings and needs.

Travis Fantina

The domestic trailer looked terrible, this honestly looks no better.
