‘Extremely Loud And Incredibly Close’ Trailer #2: Searching For Family In A Scarred City By Russ Fischer/Dec. 6, 2011 10:00 am EST The first trailer for Stephen Daldry’s adaptation of Jonathan Safran Foer’s novel Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close tried to live in the area between quirky, endearing and sentimental.
