| 2010 Academy Award® Nominations: Actor in a Supporting Role - Writing Co-written by Oren Moverman and Alessandro Camon, THE MESSENGER is a powerful and tender story about a returned war hero making his first steps toward a normal life. In his first leading role, Ben Foster stars as a U.S. Army officer who has just returned home from a tour in Iraq. Partnered with fellow officer Tony Stone (Woody Harrelson) to bear the bad news to the loved ones of fallen soldiers, Will faces the challenge of completing his mission while seeking to find comfort and healing back on the home front. THE MESSENGER reveals itself as a surprising, humorous and very human portrait of grief, friendship and survival. |
