Extraordinary Measures Movie Trailer

Extraordinary Measures MovieThe movie trailer of Extraordinary Measures, an upcoming drama movie starring Harrison Ford and Brendan Fraser, has been released:


EXTRAORDINARY MEASURES

Inspired by a true story

They had everything to lose, so they risked it all.

Don’t hope for a miracle: make one!


Plot:
“John Crowley (Brendan Fraser) has finally begun to taste success in corporate America. Supported by his wife Aileen (Keri Russell) and their three children, John is on the fast track. But just as his career is taking off, Crowley’s two youngest children, Megan and Patrick, are diagnosed with a fatal disease. Crowley who does not want to give up decides then to team up with a brilliant, but unappreciated and unconventional scientist, Dr. Robert Stonehill (Harrison Ford). Together they form a bio-tech company focused on developing a life-saving drug. One driven to prove himself and his theories, the other by a chance to save his children, this unlikely alliance eventually develops into mutual respect as they battle the medical and business establishments in a fight against the system – and time.
The fate of John’s children is at stake.”

I’d say that Extraordinary Measures is like the movie Taken: it’s about a father who’s ready to anything to save his children, just that the enemy here is a nasty genetic disorder. I think Extraordinary Measures will be a quite interesting movie. And if lucky, it will make more people aware that we need to fund research to fight against those genetic disorders!

    I wanted to say Thank You for making the movie Extraordinary Measures. My Grandson was diagnosed with Pompe’s on 10/26/09. He is 3 months old and has gotten doses of enzyme treatments as of today 11/18/09. If it weren’t for John Crowley’s love for his children we may have had no hope for our Christopher. I am glad for the exposure for Pompe’s Disease, we need to raise awareness. I had never heard of Pompe’s till last month, now there is a movie out. Maybe the world will wake up to the rarity and help people that are in need. The children that are suffering. Thank you from my Grandson, Christopher Ryan Curry.
