Principal photography has begun on New Line Cinema's and Village Roadshow Pictures' thought-provoking drama "Collateral Beauty," being helmed by Oscar-winning director David Frankel ("Dear Diary," "The Devil Wears Prada"). The film has been slated for release on December 16, 2016.

"Collateral Beauty" features an all-star cast, including Will Smith (upcoming "Suicide Squad," "Concussion"), Edward Norton ("Birdman or [The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance]"), Keira Knightley ("The Imitation Game"), Michael Peña ("The Martian"), Naomie Harris ("Spectre"), and Jacob Latimore ("The Maze Runner"), with Oscar winners Kate Winslet ("The Reader," "Steve Jobs") and Helen Mirren ("The Queen," "Trumbo").

When a successful New York advertising executive (Smith) experiences a deep personal tragedy and retreats from life entirely, his colleagues devise a drastic plan to force him to confront his grief in a surprising and profoundly human way.

Frankel is directing "Collateral Beauty" from an original screenplay by Allan Loeb ("Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps," "21"). Loeb is also a producer on the film, together with Bard Dorros ("Triple 9") and Michael Sugar (Oscar-nominated Best Picture "Spotlight") under the Anonymous Content banner; Anthony Bregman ("Foxcatcher") for Likely Story; and Kevin Frakes ("John Wick") for PalmStar Media.

Frankel's behind-the-scenes creative team includes director of photography Maryse Alberti ("Creed"), production designer Beth Mickle ("Whiskey Tango Foxtrot"), editor Andrew Marcus ("American Ultra") and costume designer Leah Katznelson ("How to Be Single").

A presentation of New Line Cinema and Village Roadshow Pictures, "Collateral Beauty" will be distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company, and in select territories by Village Roadshow Pictures.
