A Journal for Jordan Teaser Trailer
A Journal for Jordan marks Washington’s fourth directorial effort. He last directed Fences, which earned multiple Oscar nominations and a win for Viola Davis. That film, set mostly in and around the same house, was based on August Wilson’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play.
Now, Washington has set his directorial sights on Canedy’s work. She, too, won a Pulitizer for co-authoring the series “How Race Is Lived in America” before taking over Simon & Schuster last year and becoming the first Black person to head a major publishing imprint. As an actor, Washington last appeared in HBO’s The Little Things; he will next appear in Apple’s The Tragedy of Macbeth, directed by Joel Coen. Sony’s official synopsis for A Journal for Jordan is as follows:
Directed by Denzel Washington and starring Michael B. Jordan with a screenplay by Virgil Williams, A JOURNAL FOR JORDAN is based on the true story of Sergeant Charles Monroe King (Jordan), a soldier deployed to Iraq who begins to keep a journal of love and advice for his infant son. Back at home, senior New York Times editor Dana Canedy (Chanté Adams) revisits the story of her unlikely, life-altering relationship with King and his enduring devotion to her and their child. A sweeping account of a once-in-a-lifetime love, the film is a powerful reminder of the importance of family and the all-too-human cost of war.
As Washington’s voice tells us at the end of the trailer, you can see A Journal for Jordan “exclusively in movie theaters this Christmas.”
