After the disaster that was Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and the upcoming uncanny valley creep-fest that The Adventures of Tintin: Secret of the Unicorn will likely turn into, it'll be high time that Steven Spielberg got back to doing what he's best at: Rousing tales of the triumph of the human spirit, with even more rousinger scores in the background.
Thankfully, the teaser trailer for the director's new War Horse was just released and it has rousingness in spades. Based on a popular stage play, which was in turn based on a children's novel, the movie follows an English boy who sets out to get his horse back after its sold to the British calvary. It's like World War I Black Beauty with some reverse Homeward Bound thrown in for good measure. Anyone want to give us odds one whether the kid has to end up Old Yellering that noble beast?
