New 'Allied' Trailer Finds Brad Pitt And Marion Cotillard In A Wartime Romance


While Disney notably kept Johnny Depp out of the Pirates of the Caribbean 5 trailer due to the negative public perception of him right now, Paramount seems to be taking the opposite route with Brad Pitt. While some ugly rumors have made their way across the headlines about his divorce from Angelina Jolie, the actor has been featured in two trailers for WWII romance Allied within weeks of one another.

The latest offers another look at the Robert Zemeckis-directed, Steven Knight-scripted movie that finds Pitt and Marion Cotillard as lovers tested by the war. Here's the synopsis:

“ALLIED” is the story of intelligence officer Max Vatan (Pitt), who in 1942 North Africa encounters French Resistance fighter Marianne Beausejour (Cotillard) on a deadly mission behind enemy lines. Reunited in London, their relationship is threatened by the extreme pressures of the war.

It's definitely a handsome film with star power to spare, but will outside factors influence the ultimate response from audiences? Allied opens on November 23rd.
