Thought that was Robert Downey Jr. at first. Looks like it could be a really good flick.

No clue, sure looked like him though. His name isn't anywhere on the IMDB page.

Hell of a cast. Though now I imagine Michael Caine is playing the same character he did in The Prestige.

My friend cut the Lone Ranger trailer. I'm proud as hell (although I'm not too excited for another Depp/Bonham movie about trains). He's only been with the company a few months but was made editor almost instantly.

These are my two favorite trailers, though I prefer the Red Band Dragon Tattoo that was made to look like a leak.

On top of the The Social Network is my favorite film ever, alongside Jurassic Park.

I still need to see the DC of this movie, I hear it makes it 20x better than what we got. Really I don't hate KOH, but that is just because of the battle scenes in the last act are just so beautifully well done.

Yeah I never saw the DC, but I should. The released version so clearly had stuff cut from it. I remember leaving the theater thinking that the DC would be awesome. i should watch it, especially since Ive been reading about the crusades a lot lately

As someone who never saw the theatrical cut, I can say that the DC was an excellent film that was more about a man struggling to understand the nature of God than it was an epic action film; from what I understand it closed up a lot of plot holes in the TC as well.

Are you serious? It's some of the worst casting I can think of. He's completely out of his league and sucks so much energy out of every scene he is in, he's a void of charisma.

He is out-acted by Edward Norton playing a supporting character wearing a fullface mask for fucks sake.

I know I'm going to get heckled for this, but the trailer for the '97 reissue of Star Wars was perfect to my eyes: I was too young to have seen any of them in the theater, and the teaser perfectly captured the canyon of difference there is between watching it on the big screen and loving around with VHS.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=39J2zBB-AyU

And, of course, the musically-silent teaser for Burton's Batman blew minds and shut asses about Keaton's casting in ten seconds flat:

I absolutely loving loved the first Wall-E trailer.

The Tron 2 reveal (while not really a trailer) was also so loving good. I'm linking the comic com cam link because the audience reaction to the light cycle reveal was basically mine. The first trailer with Daft Punk music was also excellent. The "noise" as the title is revealed sounded so good in an IMAX theater.

And throwing my love for this Persepolis trailer.

David Thewlis and especially Ghassan Massoud owned the screen everytime they appeared.

I really want to love the movie, especially the DC, but Orlando Bloom just comes in and fucks it right the gently caress up everytime I let myself get sucked in but the other performances.
