For quite some time now, Angelina Jolie has been behind the camera, taking on the role of director for her upcoming project Unbroken. The film follows a former Olympian that found himself in a Japanese P.O.W. camp, so coinciding with this year's Winter Olympics, we've been treated to a special preview of the movie.

Check out the first footage from Unbroken right here:

What did you think of this first look at Unbroken?

Jolie's new film opens Christmas day, 2014. The official press release for Unbroken states: "Academy Award® winner Angelina Jolie directs and produces Unbroken, an epic drama that follows the incredible life of Olympian and war hero Louis "Louie" Zamperini (Jack O'Connell) who, along with two other crewmen, survived in a raft for 47 days after a near-fatal plane crash in WWII-only to be caught by the Japanese Navy and sent to a prisoner-of-war camp."

It continues:

Adapted from Laura Hillenbrand's ("Seabiscuit: An American Legend") enormously popular book, Unbroken brings to the big screen Zamperini's unbelievable and inspiring true story about the resilient power of the human spirit. Starring alongside O'Connell are Domhnall Gleeson and Finn Wittrock as Phil and Mac-the airmen with whom Zamperini endured perilous weeks adrift in the open Pacific-Garrett Hedlund and John Magaro as fellow POWs who find an unexpected camaraderie during their internment, Alex Russell as Zamperini's brother, Pete, and in his English-language feature debut, Japanese actor Miyavi as the brutal camp guard known only to the men as "The Bird."
