Trailer Round up!
Mon, June 15, 2009 I love me some trailers and a bunch of them dropped online over the last few days so Ive rounded them all up in one neat little package like trailer cattle!.
First up we have 'The Time Traveller's Wife' starring Eric Bana and the lovely Rachel McAdams. Now the first thing about this trailer that creeps me out is the way he meets Rachel's character as a young kid and then love develop's later....I dunno it just sits odd with me. It's clear New Line have shredded a lot of the sci fi side of the book for the trailer but hopefully not from the actual movie. What is left is a lush looking romantic drama that looks to have two fine lead performances working hard against a ludicrous premise.
Next up we have some serious thesping in the trailer for 'Creation', a movie about Charles Darwin Based on the book 'Annie’s Box' by Randal Keynes, who is Darwin's great grandson. It stars Paul Bettany and real life wife Jennifer Connelly as Mr and Mrs Darwin. It looks like a BBC period piece with some overaught acting, I'm sure the critics will love it or at least like it, and it will make roughly $5 at the box office. However I expect the sequel 'Darwin vs Newton - Cage Fight!' to do big business.
Last but certainly not least we have the stunning trailer for the new Scorsese/DiCaprio offering 'Shutter Island'. Based on the book by Dennis Lehane (Mystic River, Gone Baby Gone) The film sees Leonardo DiCaprio and Mark Ruffalo as US Marshal's sent to the asylum on Shutter Island in Boston to investigate a missing patient. Now Ive read the book and it is amazing, so the fact the film appears to have captured the atmosphere of the book so perfectly is very pleasing. Judging from the trailer the characters are spot on with Leo set to give another great performance, and visually Scorsese may never have been better. The trailer does everything a trailer should do, it elicits excitement, piques curiosity and stuns visually without giving too much away. This could be a possible Oscar contender for sure.
