Kevin Costner Brings Heart and Humor as the Voice of Enzo in The Art of Racing in the Rain Trailer
20th Century Fox has released the first trailer for The Art of Racing in the Rain, a moving new drama that tells the story of love, loss, and loyalty — all through the eyes of a dog.
Based on Garth Stein’s best-selling 2008 novel, the film follows a race car driver whose greatest companion is his golden retriever, Enzo, voiced by Kevin Costner.
A Dog’s-Eye View of Life
The trailer opens with Enzo’s soulful narration, immediately drawing viewers into the emotional world of his owner, Denny Swift, played by This Is Us star Milo Ventimiglia.
Through Enzo’s eyes, we see Denny’s journey — from meeting the love of his life to building a family and facing life’s toughest challenges. It’s a story about resilience, seen through the unwavering devotion of a dog who believes he understands the human heart better than most people ever could.
Kevin Costner’s Voice Adds Depth
Kevin Costner brings warmth, humor, and wisdom to Enzo’s inner voice. His narration strikes a perfect balance between lighthearted moments and deep reflection, echoing the tone that made films like A Dog’s Purpose and Marley & Me so beloved.
As Enzo observes his owner’s triumphs and heartbreaks, his voice becomes both comforting and poignant — a gentle reminder that dogs often teach us the most about what it means to live, love, and forgive.
Racing Toward an Emotional Finish
Directed by Simon Curtis (Goodbye Christopher Robin), the film promises to blend touching family drama with the thrill of professional racing. The trailer showcases stunning racetrack sequences intercut with intimate family scenes, suggesting a story as much about chasing dreams as it is about holding onto what matters most.
With Milo Ventimiglia, Amanda Seyfried, and Gary Cole rounding out the cast, The Art of Racing in the Rain looks poised to be one of 2019’s most heartfelt films.
A Story for Every Dog Lover
Much like its literary source, the film explores universal themes — loyalty, love, and the fleeting beauty of life — all through Enzo’s wise, sometimes funny, and deeply touching perspective.
For anyone who’s ever shared their life with a dog, The Art of Racing in the Rain promises a story that will stay with you long after the credits roll.
