'A Million Little Pieces' trailer: The controversial best seller comes to life

From director Sam Taylor-Johnson (Fifty Shades of Grey, Nowhere Boy) comes a big screen take on James Frey’s infamous memoir, A Million Little Pieces with her husband, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, in the lead role. Today, the first trailer for the film has been released and you can check it out in the player below.

An alcoholic and a drug addict, 23 year-old James has two options: treatment or death. After waking up on a plane with a smashed up face and no memory of the past few weeks, he heads to rehab where he discovers much more than detox and therapy. As James endures the white-knuckle journey of mending his broken body, he heals his broken soul by connecting with other kindred spirits who also yearn and fight for a better life. Also starring Billy Bob Thornton, Juliette Lewis, Giovanni Ribisi, and Odessa Young, Charlie Hunnam, Dash Mihok, Charles Parnell, Ryan Hurst, David Dastmalchian and Tom Amandes, A Million Little Pieces is based on the bestselling book and features a screenplay from Aaron and Sam Taylor-Johnson.

Look for A Million Little Pieces on the big screen beginning December 6.
