Natalie Portman and Jake Gyllenhaal in Lionsgate drama "Brothers"

I don't know how this one flew under my radar this weekend, but I just watched the new trailer for "Brothers," starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Natalie Portman and it gave me chills.

"Brothers" is a Lionsgate remake of a Danish film ("Brodre'). In the American version, which hits theaters on December 4, 2009, Tobey Maguire plays "Sam," a soldier who is presumed dead when his helicopter is shot down in Afghanistan. While his wife "Grace," played by Natalie Portman, mourns and tries to come to terms with the loss, her husband's 'black sheep' brother, "Tommy," played by Jake Gyllenhaal, steps in to help out and the two become romantically involved. As it turns out, Sam is not dead.


Check out the intense new trailer for "Brothers" below.


#Director: Jim Sheridan (In America, In the Name of the Father)
