Here’s one for the Erin Brockovich fans: the trailer for Steven Bernstein’s Decoding Annie Parker, which comes out in theaters and VOD on May 2. Loosely based on a true story, the film stars Samantha Morton in the title role as a woman diagnosed with breast cancer after it kills both her mother and sister. Helen Hunt plays the researcher hoping to uncover the genetic roots of the disease. Presumably they meet and teach one another inspirational life lessons about friendship, perseverance, and hereditary gene mutations. Sounds like a tearjerker, but there is some inadvertent comic relief: namely, Aaron Paul, who has traded in his Jesse Pinkman buzz cut for long, flowing locks. Seriously, he looks like a young Joni Mitchell.
