help Winter's Tale FAQ
Who stars in the 2014 Winter's Tale movie?
Colin Farrell leads as thief Peter Lake, with Jessica Brown Findlay as the dying Beverly Penn. Russell Crowe plays the demonic gangster Pearly Soames, and Will Smith has a cameo as Lucifer.
Who wrote and directed the film?
Akiva Goldsman, the Oscar-winning screenwriter of A Beautiful Mind, made his directorial debut with it. The film adapts Mark Helprin's sprawling 1983 novel, which had long been considered difficult to film.
What's the deal with the flying white horse and the time jump?
The horse, named Athansor, is essentially Peter Lake's guardian spirit. The story splits between 1916 Manhattan, where Peter meets Beverly, and a present-day New York where a now-amnesiac Peter appears about a century later.
Did Winter's Tale do well at the box office?
No, it was a commercial disappointment, grossing only around $30 million worldwide against a reported budget in the same range. Critics were similarly harsh, and it's now remembered as a famously ambitious flop rather than a fantasy franchise-starter.
