A charismatic young Irish guitarist (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) and a sheltered young cellist (Keri Russell) have a chance encounter one magical night above New York’s Washington Square, but are soon torn apart, leaving in their wake an infant, orphaned by circumstance. Years later, performing on the streets of New York and cared for by a mysterious stranger (Robin Williams) who gives him the name August Rush, the child (Freddie Highmore) uses his remarkable musical talent to seek the parents from whom he was separated at birth.
The trailers make it look as if it’ll either be a magical ode to the power of music, or a big, soppy mess of misfired sentiment. We’re hoping for the former.

Thanks for featuring a blurb about the upcoming film. i just recently saw the trailer, and it looks like a good one. great cast, although from the reviews i've heard the breakout star is jamia simone nash! robin williams is an obvious classic, but i'm looking forward to seeing Jonathan Rhys Meyers prove his vocal abilities again (last time seen in Elvis). Between the tudors, august rush, and his hugo advert http://www.hugofragrances.com/us/, this seems to be his year. looking forward to the review!
