Actor David Oyelowois strike a crack at directing and the trailer for his first film is all kinds of heartbreaking and beautiful .
It ’s called The Water Man and it co - starsRosario Dawson , Alfred Molina , and Maria Bello as the adults . But , as you ’ll see in the trailer , The Water Man is n’t about them . It ’s about a male child name Gunner ( Lonnie Chavis ) who wants to save his ail mother ( Dawson ) and set out with a local girl ( Amiah Miller ) to receive a mythic being identify the Water Man . A being that , Gunner believe , has the secret to immortality . A closed book that ’ll economize his mom .
From there , the plastic film looks like a full - onGoonies - character adventureas the kids go see for the Water Man while the adult , lead by Gunner ’s dad ( Oyelowo ) seek to find oneself them . Here ’s the trailer .

First of all , whether The Water Man is good , bad , or in between , the fact it has a young child adventuring in the wood with a samurai blade needs to be recognized and respected . Because that ’s just awful .
Beyond that , my meter reading of that drone is the Water Man is n’t some mythic tool . It seems like he ’ll end up just being a guy who lives in the forest that has become a local legend . And when Gunner finds him , which the trailer let out , he ’s probably going to bring in nothing can stop death and it ’ll become a sad , poignant , coming - of - age story .
Or maybe he actually is an immortal animate being who spare his mummy and she go on to asterisk in her very own Disney+ showas a fabled Jedi Padawan . We do n’t know .
What we do know is , no matter how it plays out , Oyelowo sure enough has an oculus for channelize . The trailer has impressive scope , emotion , and visuals . And then the cast is just star . From the Star Warsconnection of Agent Kallus(who Oyelowo voice ) and Ahsoka Tano ( Dawson , obviously ) , to Spider - Man buff favoriteDoc Ock(Molina ) , consider our interest piqued .
The Water Man debuts only in theatre ( which seems like a weird conclusion for a movie like this ) on May 7 .
