Trailer To 'The Secret Life Of Bees' Now Online

Posted Aug 26th 2008 2:05PM by Wilson Morales
Filed under: It's All Reel, Entertainment


The trailer to the one of the most anticipated films of September and set to debut at the Toronto Film Festival is now online.

'The Secret Life of Bees' features an all-star cast with Dakota Fanning, Jennifer Hudson, Queen Latifah, Alicia Keys, Nate Parker, Sophie Okonedo, and Paul Bettany.

Set in South Carolina in 1964, the film is the moving tale of Lily Owens (Fanning) a 14 year-old girl who is haunted by the memory of her late mother (Burton). To escape her lonely life and troubled relationship with her father (Bettany), Lily flees with Rosaleen (Hudson), her caregiver and only friend, to a South Carolina town that holds the secret to her mother's past. Taken in by the intelligent and independent Boatwright sisters (Latifah, Okonedo and Keys), Lily finds solace in their mesmerizing world of beekeeping, honey and the Black Madonna.

The film opens on October 17 in the United States.
