Introducing THE LONGEST RIDE

20th Century Fox has released the first The
Longest Ride trailer and poster. Based on the
Nicholas Sparks book, The Longest Ride centers
on the love affair between a bull rider ( Scott
Eastwood) and a college student ( Britt
Robertson): “As conflicting paths and ideals test
their relationship, Sophia and Luke make an
unexpected and fateful connection with Ira ( Alan
Alda), whose memories of his own decades-long
romance with his beloved wife deeply inspire the
young couple.” This is the tenth movie based on
a Sparks book. The trailer does not break the
mold, and by now you should know whether the
mold is for you.
