Warner Bros. has released the second trailer of The Goldfinch starring Nicole Kidman and Ansel Elgort. The film is the screen adaptation of the best-selling novel of the same name by Donna Tartt which won the 2014 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction and the Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Fiction. The Goldfinch is a Dickensian story that chronicles the experience of Theodore “Theo” Decker beginning with the death of his mother because of a bombing at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
The second trailer of The Goldfinch explores the importance of the eponymous painting of the goldfinch to the story. It is the one thing that Theo took from the day of the bombing at the museum and holds onto through his myriad trials and tribulations throughout his life.
