Salmon Fishing in the Yemen - Trailer

Salmon Fishing in the Yemen - Movie Trailer: Dr. Alfred Jones is a henpecked, slightly pompous middle-aged scientist at the National Centre for Fisheries Excellence in London when he is approached by a mysterious sheikh about an outlandish plan to introduce the sport of salmon fishing into the Yemen. Dr. Jones refuses, but the project, however scientifically absurd, catches the eye of British politicians, who pressure him to work on it. His diaries of the Yemen Salmon Project, from beginning to glorious, tragic end, form the narrative backbone of this novel; interspersed throughout are government memos, e-mails, letters, and interview transcripts that deftly capture the absurdity of bureaucratic dysfunction. Salmon Fishing in the Yemen comes to theaters March 2nd, 2012 and stars Emily Blunt, Ewan McGregor, Kristin Scott Thomas, Rachael Stirling, Amr Waked, Tom Mison, Catherine Steadman, Jill Baker. The film is directed by Lasse Hallström.
