Hello nerds!

As is tradition, studios role out their more emotional movies around the holidays and Welcome to Maren is no exception. From the trailer, this film looks to tell quite an amazing story, with a great cast and some of the most impressive and wonderful looking CGI we've seen in recent years.

Like I said, all the feels.

Written by Caroline Thompson (Nightmare Before Christmas, The Addams Family) and Robert Zemeckis, who is also directing, Welcome to Marwen stars Steve Carell as real-life assault survivor Mark Hogancamp. The film is based on Jeff Malmberg's documentary, Marwencol. The 2010 documentary shows how Hogancamp embraces his artistic side and builds miniature art displays as therapy, after he was attacked and left with severe brain damage. It's in these miniatures, that we see the wonder in this this sad and uplifting story.

Welcome to Marwen starring Steve Carell, Leslie Mann, Janelle Monáe, Eiza González, Diane Kruger, Gwendoline Christie and Falk Hentschel will be in theaters just in time for Thanksgiving with a November 21, 2018 release.
