We posted this trailer yesterday but Disney asked us to take it down because it was "incorrect". Today it's up on Yahoo! Movies and it's almost exactly the same so here's what I wrote yesterday: The trailer for The Odd Life of Timothy Green stars out innocently enough. Jennifer Garner and Joel Edgerton play a couple who are unable to conceive a child. They write down their hopes and dreams for the child theyâll never have, put the writing in a box, and bury the box in their backyard. In the middle of the night, they awaken to find a dirt-covered young boy in their house and heâs calling them âmom and dad.â If that actually happened, you would not be uplifted. You would be freaked out beyond all reason. Furthermore, weâre now going to have scores of child molesters burying their wish lists and hoping for a case of sprouted boy. Is that what you want The Odd Life of Timothy Green? IS IT?If you missed the trailer yesterday you can check it out after the jump along with the poster. Watch the trailer and be horrified with me. The Odd Life of Timothy Green is set to open August 15, 2012 and believe me, I question the wisdom of running a trailer for a movie that's over a year away.Click over to Yahoo! Movies to see the trailer in HD.
