After the success of “The Orphanage,” director Juan Antonio Bayona is getting ready to return to the big screen with another production just as chilling. This one, though, is inspired from real life.

A new trailer for “The Impossible” has been released and, for those who understand Spanish, it promises a harrowing film, an unforgettable experience.

“The Impossible” is inspired by the tsunami that hit Thailand and other parts of Southeast Asia in 2004, telling the story of a family of Americans vacationing in the countryside when the tsunami hit.

You will undoubtedly recognize Naomi Watts and Ewan McGregor as the parents.

“The Impossible” will arrive in theaters in Spain in October this year but, for the time being, it has no distributor for the US or other territories.
