The new trailer for CBS Films’ comedy movie Salmon Fishing in the Yemen has arrived – and it won me over. Starring Ewan McGregor, Emily Blunt, and Kristin Scott Thomas, and directed by Lasse Hallstrom, the fly-fishing film is set for a March 2012 release.
The Plot:
When Britain’s leading fisheries expert (Ewan McGregor) is approached by a consultant (Emily Blunt) to help realize a sheikh’s (Amr Waked) vision of bringing the sport of fly-fishing to the desert, he immediately thinks the project is both absurd and unachievable. But when the Prime Minister’s overzealous press secretary (Kristin Scott Thomas) latches on to it as a “good will” story, this unlikely team will put it all on the line and embark on an upstream journey of faith and fish to prove the impossible, possible.
