Julia Roberts took a three-year hiatus from live action films after making Closer, but when she decided to launch her comeback, she lined up a pair of movies: The Mike Nichols-helmed Charlie Wilson’s War, and the indie drama Fireflies in the Garden. The former came out as planned at the end of 2007. The latter … did not. In fact, Fireflies was released in virtually every country but the United States over the past few years; that changed abruptly this week, when an October 14 release date was announced out of the blue. Today, we’ve even got a trailer: Roberts plays the kind wife to Willem Dafoe’s bad dad, and together, they dysfunctionally raise a little boy who grows up to be a bearded Ryan Reynolds. (Sadly, a fatal car crash deprives of us the opportunity to see an aged-up Roberts act opposite Reynolds for the rest of the movie.) Yes, she gives us The Smile. No, she does not ride a scooter.
