First ‘Unbroken’ trailer has me FREAKED OUT, period.
This is more of a heads-up than a real blog.
In perusing Facebook as a defense mechanism to “The Bachelor,” to which my wife and daughter are hopelessly addicted and currently watching on DVR, I just ran across this, the first trailer of the upcoming motion picture, “Unbroken,” set for release on Christmas Day. I’ve never before watched a trailer for any movie with more rapt attention or larger goosebumps. If you’re not one of the gazillion people who have read Laura Hillenbrand’s novel by the same name, I urge you to get it immediately. I’m serious. Right now! GO!
This movie probably means a little more to me personally than most people. In February 2012, I traveled to Los Angeles to interview Louis Zamperini, the subject of “Unbroken,” for the publication I worked for at the time. The experience of meeting Mr. Zamperini, now 97, in his amazing home perched beneath the iconic Hollywood sign is one I’ll always count as a career highlight.
If you’ve got a minute, read this post I wrote about Mr. Zamperini and E.B. Sledge back in 2012. Louis Zamperini is simply an American treasure, like Mt. Rushmore or jazz music or baseball, and I hope he lives to be 150. I can’t say it would surprise me.

That has got to be one of the best untold stories I’ve never hear of. I can’t wait for this film to come out. Thank you for bringing it to my attention.
Todd, go get the book between now and Christmas. Trust me.
We have to wait until Christmas to see it!?! This looks like an amazing life story.
It is, Lindsay. Can’t wait for the next trailer…
