While the most recent Avengers: Age Of Ultron trailer has tongues wagging at the possibility of a Natasha Romanoff/Bruce Banner hook-up, the trailer for** Infinitely Polar Bear** appears to answer the question of what would happen if Hulk had a family with Gamora. In reality, though, it’s a sensitive, candid drama about a man dealing with bipolar issues while trying to keep his family intact.
Written and directed by Maya Forbes, **Infinitely Polar Bear **is the the story of Cameron (Mark Ruffalo), a husband and father who ditches his medication, struggles with his sanity and loses his job in the process. As he tries to keep it together, his wife Maggie (Zoe Saldana) heads to Columbia Law School and ends up moving out, Cameron now dealing with daughters Faith (Ashley Aufderheide) and Amelia (Imogene Wolodarsky).
Things don’t go well from the start – the kids for one thing are seemingly embarrassed by their father’s erratic behaviour – but they soon start to bond a little more deeply even as Cameron continues to struggle with his manic depression.
The drama, which has J.J. Abrams aboard as a producer, has a limited US release set for June 9 and is apparently headed our way sometime later in the year.
