With a stellar cast, the marvels of New York City, a love story for all ages and a sprinkling of magic, the stage is set for this new Akiva Goldsman movie to be one of next year's cinematic highlights.

'Winter's Tale': This Romantic Fantasy Tale Will Be Released Just After Valentines Day 2014.

Colin Farrell plays Peter Lake, a burglar who lives and robs in early 20th century New York City. He is wanted by his former gangster boss, Pearly Soames (Russell Crowe), to repay a debt. Peter breaks into a mansion one day only to find a beautiful girl sat at her piano who is strangely not startled by his arrival.

To add another problem to the mix, Soames is still on Peter's tail but during one murder attempt Peter is mysteriously saved by being transported to modern day New York without having aged a day.

One for the fans of such romantic fantasies as Stardust, this tale of everlasting, transcendental love is sure to charm and enthral, especially as the film's release coincides with the most romantic time of the year, Valentine's Day.
