‘Same Kind of Different As Me’ released its official trailer featuring Renee Zellweger and Greg Kinnear as a married couple struggling with a failing marriage. The two then befriend a homeless man and have their lives changed forever.
According to Coming Soon, Paramount Pictures recently dropped the official trailer for Michael Carney’s live-action adaptation of book of the same name authored by Ron Hall, Denver Moore, and Lynn Vincent. It features an ensemble cast that includes Oscar-nominee Greg Kinnear as international art dealer Ron, Oscar-winner Renee Zellweger as Ron’s wife Deborah, Oscar-nominee Djimon Honsou as homeless man Denver, and Oscar-winner Jon Voight as Ron’s father Mickey.
The film follows married couple Ron and Deborah as they struggle to keep their marriage from falling apart.

It is scheduled to be released in the United States on February 3, 2017.
The film is produced under Skodam Films, Disruption Entertainment, and Chazown Pictures and distributed by Paramount Pictures.
