On Aug. 12, Walt Disney Studios released an early trailer and six stills from its “The Odd Life of Timothy Green.”
“The Odd Life of Timothy Green” stars Jennifer Garner ("Juno") and Joel Edgerton ("Smokin' Aces," the Pittsburgh-filmed and set "Warrior") as Cindy and Jim Green.
These first photos are released almost a year in advance of the PG-rated family fantasy film, which is due out Aug. 15, 2012. The stills provide fews clues as to the movie's plot, below, but are focused primarily on a scenes of family. The photos do, however, suggest the movie's look and the major characters' relationships.

The movie focuses on Cindy (Garner) and Jim (Edgerton), a childless couple who want to start their own family but have been unable to conceive. In a very fairy-tale manner, the couple decides one day to write down their wishes for the kind of child they’d like to have. They put the wishes in a box and bury it.
Then 10-year-old Timothy (CJ Adams) shows up at their door one stormy and odd night, unexpected and with a bit of mystery surrounding him even as he appears to have appeared just for them, calling them “Mom” and “Dad.”
"Is he for us?" Cindy asks Jim in the teaser trailer.
As Tim becomes part of their lives, the couple, his new friend Joni Jerome (Odeya Rush) and the town of Stanleyville find themselves embracing the unexpected.
Although Disney and the filmmakers have thus far been coy about the film’s details, teasing audiences about Timothy’s origins and role in the Green’s lives.
"He's a boy with the qualities that his parents hope for," Academy Award–nominated director Peter Hedges (“Dan in Real Life,” “What’s Eating Gilbert Grape?”) told USA Today, but "those qualities manifest in ways they never could have imagined."
While Pittsburgh movie-goers are waiting for the Disney film to be released, they may check out Edgerton’s next film: the upcoming family drama “Warrior,” scheduled for released Sept. 9, 2011.
When the film is released, audiences can expect to see the “The Odd Life of Timothy Green” screen at most Pittsburgh area theaters, including AMC Loews Waterfront 22, at SouthSide Works Cinema and at Waterworks Cinema 10.
