The Mercy: Colin Firth Lost at Sea #book2movies

‘‘Life must be lived. The question becomes what can you do to give it all meaning.’’

The Mercy staring Colin Firth and Rachel Weisz has opened in Portugal (11/23) and is slated for release in the Netherlands in December. While the UK and most countries are releasing it in early 2018, there is still no specific opening date for the US. Based on a true story, as told in the book The Strange Last Voyage of Donald Crowhurst. I’ve been waiting for this one since I heard about it last December. 

The logline

Yachtsman Donald Crowhurst’s disastrous attempt to win the 1968 Golden Globe Race ends up with him creating an outrageous account of traveling the world alone by sea.

As a Colin Firth fan, I’ll just have to satisfy myself with the trailer for now. How about you?
