Description: From Jean-Jacques Annaud, the acclaimed director of The
Bear, comes a motion picture event for the whole family. Set not so long ago in
a distant land, Two Brothers is the story of twin tiger cubs - one shy and
gentle, the other, bold and fierce - who are born among the temple ruins of an
exotic jungle, but are one day separated by fate. The bold brother is sold off
to a circus, where homesickness and living in a cage rob him of his spirit. The
shy cub becomes the beloved companion for the governor's lonely young son, until
an accident forces the family to give him away to a man who resolves to break
his gentle nature and turn him into a fighter for sport. When they are fully
grown, the brothers find themselves reunited - but as forced enemies pitted
against each other. An epic adventure story about the power of friendship, the
bond between brothers and the spirit that connects us all, Two Brothers stars
Guy Pearce (Memento, L.A. Confidential) as the adventurer whose tragic
intervention into the idyllic lives of the twin cubs forever intertwines their
fates. Two Brothers was filmed on location in Cambodia and Thailand. The
screenplay was written by Jean-Jacques Annaud and Alain Godard (The Name of the
Rose, Enemy at the Gates) from an original story by Annaud.
