Colin Farrell’s upcoming movie just dropped an emotional official trailer. The Slightest Touch, an adventure-documentary, is set to debut on HBO and stream on HBO Max later this year. The trailer features Farrell alongside Emma Fogarty, a woman with Epidermolysis Bullosa.
The film’s official synopsis reads, “Emma Fogarty has spent her life defying expectations. Born with Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB), an extremely rare and devastating condition that causes her skin to blister and tear at the slightest touch, Emma refuses to be defined by her disease. Instead, she has built a life marked by resilience, purpose, and an unwavering determination to live on her own terms. As she turns 40, an age doctors once believed she would never reach, Emma and her longtime friend Colin Farrell embark on the challenge of completing the Dublin Marathon together.”
