I know the movie will be better than the trailer, but this does not interest me in the least. The funny thing is Dicaprio, Williams, Clarkson, and of course Kingsley are some of my favorite actors to watch, and it's funny to see them in a "saw 6" type of trailer. These are one of the movies I'll rent instead of seeing in the theatres.Toryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07110496288959469493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-42460171880121669192009-06-12T08:47:42.769-04:002009-06-12T08:47:42.769-04:00adam k. @ well..

I think oscar-wise, it sees scattered nominations for supporting acting and techs, maybe screenplay. <br /><br />They may be downplaying Emily Mortimer in order to set her up for the sneak attack/"SURPRISE! she steals the movie" awards campaign. And she's still not all that famous so it's not like her name would help sell the movie to the audiences they're catering.<br /><br />As I recall, they tried the same thing with Jennifer Hudson in the <em>Dreamgirls</em> advertising - instead choosing to distract us with shiny objects Beyoncé and Jamie Foxx - even though the buzz was deafening from the start. So then it was like this huge upset that she stole the movie from Beyoncé and Jamie Foxx (even though those in the know all saw it coming).<br /><br />It could work to downplay expectations and make her seem to come out of nowhere.

It also looks to be a very faithful adaptation of the book. There are scenes in the trailer that I could instantly identify from the book. Also, as I have been saying for a while, I don't think Michelle Williams will have a very large role in the movie, and Emily Mortimer, Jackie Earle Haley, and (possibly) Mark Ruffalo are the ones to look out for in the supporting categories.<br /><br />Finally, in response to only having Leo's name mentioned ("above the title"). The story is definitely a star vehicle, and most of the other characters have small, but essential supporting roles (if they follow the book).<br /><br />I can honestly say that this is the most excited I have ever been for a Scorsese movie in my life!Seannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-53517107015295302652009-06-11T19:01:15.578-04:002009-06-11T19:01:15.578-04:00ooooooOOOOOoooooo.

I think the film looks interesting and love Scorsese but DiCaprio with the Aviator face (poorly cast) and the overdone accent (overacting in The Departed). He's good when he's good but just cause Scorsese makes a movie doesn't mean he's right for it. Enough already.Film Friendnoreply@blogger.com
