Trailer Watch: Rosamund Pike Is Addicted to War Zones in Marie Colvin Biopic “A Private War”

"A Private War"

“War is not so terrible for governments, for they are not wounded or killed like ordinary people,” observes Rosamund Pike in the first trailer for “A Private War.” The biopic tells the story of award-winning war correspondent Marie Colvin, whose self-proclaimed mission is “to speak the truth to power.”

Colvin travels to the most dangerous places on earth to help tell other people’s stories. “I hate being in a war zone, but I also feel compelled to see it for myself,” Marie explains. But a photographer (Jamie Dornan) she travels with is convinced that she’s “addicted to it,” despite the toll her job has taken on her, including losing sight in her left eye due to a blast from a grenade.

“Maybe I would have liked a more normal life. Maybe I just don’t know how,” Marie admits.

Based on Marie Brenner’s 2012 Vanity Fair article “Marie Colvin’s Private War,” the film sees Marie embarking on the most dangerous assignment of her life in the Syrian city of Homs.

Pike received an Oscar nomination in 2015 for her role in “Gone Girl.” Her recent credits include “A United Kingdom” and “Beirut.”

“A Private War” opens in NY and LA November 2.
