June 25 (UPI) -- Netflix is previewing Train Dreams, based on Denis Johnson's novella of the same name, and starring Joel Edgerton and Felicity Jones.
The film arrives on the streamer Nov. 21 after a limited theater run that same month.
Edgerton and Jones portray Robert and Gladys, a married couple living in the Pacific Northwest during the early 1900s.
Edgerton is building a railroad in the region "when his life takes an unexpected turn," an official synopsis reads, and he "finds beauty, brutality and newfound meaning for the forests he has felled."
"It's a really special story and it feels very unique in that it is just about this one person's life. This very simple life," director Clint Bentley told Netflix's Tudum. "Robert Grainier doesn't do anything that really alters the course of history -- he doesn't fight in some great battle or create some invention that changes people's lives, and yet he lives a very deep and rich life."

Charlize Theron turns heads in sheer fishnet catsuit ahead of milestone 50th birthday
Charlize Theron dared to bare as she walked the red carpet ahead of her 50th birthday. The 49-year-old actress wore a black Givenchy sheer fishnet full-body catsuit over a black bra and high-waisted briefs while posing for photos at the premiere of her movie, "The Old Guard 2," at the Netflix Tudum Theater Thursday. Theron's catsuit was emblazoned with the luxury fashion house's original marque, Givenchy Paris 1952, in white lettering across the chest. The Academy Award winner completed her racy look with a black tuxedo jacket and square-toed black leather boots. Theron's hair was swept back into an updo, and she accessorized with a pair of diamond Christian Dior earrings. While on the red carpet, Theron reunited with her "The Old Guard 2" co-stars Uma Thurman, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Marwan Kenzari, KiKi Layne and Henry Golding. "The Old Guard 2" is a sequel to the 2020 Netflix superhero movie "The Old Guard," which was directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood and based on the popular comic book series by Greg Rucka. Theron starred as the centuries-old immortal warrior Andromache "Andy" of Scythia in the original film, and she reprised her role in the sequel. Ejiofor, Kenzari and Layne returned for the second movie with Thurman and Golding joining the cast. According to a plot synopsis, "The Old Guard 2" follows Theron's character Andy as she "leads immortal warriors against a powerful enemy threatening their group. "They grapple with the resurfacing of a long-lost immortal, complicating their mission to safeguard humanity." During an interview with People magazine on the red carpet, Theron told the outlet teaming up with Thurman for the sequel "was everything that we hoped for." "It's what we got excited about in the preproduction," Theron said. "We're so grateful that she said yes. And I look at the movie now, and I still pinch myself. I still can't believe she said yes." While speaking with the outlet, Theron also reflected on her upcoming 50th birthday, which she will celebrate Aug. 7. "I feel like time has actually really started to slow down the older I get," she said. "In my 20s, it was going so fast, and I was in such a rush, and now I feel like ... I'm not." The "Fast X" star, who is a mother to daughters Jackson, 12, and August, 9, explained that there are times when she is "still in a rush" with being "a mom and [having] to chase after so many things." However, she told People, "I feel like I'm not worried so much about time running out. "From my 40s on to now, I've just felt like I have a better understanding of balance," Theron added. "I am still struggling with it, but I don't fight it as much anymore. I can enjoy life a little more."

Travis Kelce's 'Happy Gilmore 2' co-star, Christopher McDonald, lauds Super Bowl champ's acting skills
Travis Kelce has excelled in football, but this summer he is putting his acting skills on full display. The Kansas City Chiefs tight end will star in the upcoming "Happy Gilmore 2" movie. Hollywood star Christopher McDonald will reprise his role as Shooter McGavin in the sequel. Earlier this week, McDonald spoke to People about how Kelce fared during the filming process. "Travis Kelce has been out there, and I just really liked him as a person. He is really funny. Way too handsome, by the way, but really a good actor actually," the Emmy nominee told the outlet. McDonald continued to praise the three-time Super Bowl winner, saying he is "surprisingly good." McDonald was also complimentary of Kelce's skill on the golf course. "I think he's got game," the actor noted, admitting he "did not" get to play with the NFL star while filming. Earlier this year, Kelce described the opportunity to be a part of the movie as "a dream come true." "I thought SNL was going to be the peak of my acting and showman or entertainment career," Kelce said during an appearance on "The Pat McAfee Show" in January. "Working with Happy Gilmore himself, the Sandman and Happy Productions, it was off the chain." The sequel to the 1996 sports comedy film is scheduled to be released July 25. It will be available on Netflix. Follow Fox News Digital's sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
