The Words (in theaters Friday)

How does an ambitious novelist weigh his own integrity against success? In the new romantic drama, The Words, out this Friday, Bradley Cooper stars as Rory Jansen, the writer behind the next great American novel, or is he? It turns out his success is built upon a lie, and the book everyone thinks Jansen wrote is the stolen work of an unknown writer. What happens when Jansen’s lie is revealed just as he hits the apex of newfound fame and fortune?

TRON: Legacy co-writers Brian Klugman and Lee Sternthal answer this question and more as they step up to direct a provocative what-would-you-do drama with the literary plot of a slow-boiling page-turning thriller. Zoe Saldana co-stars as Cooper’s wife, while Olivia Wilde, Dennis Quaid and Jeremy Irons co-star. Rated PG-13. Watch the trailer below:
