WAAAAA! Mr and Mrs Smith has just caused me to seriously freak. If you haven’t seen the trailer yet then switch off everything else that your computer is doing right now and get onto this link (note the direct link to the trailer).
I can’t begin to tell you how much this trailer rocks. It’s sooo good. It has guns, small guns and really big guns, and explosions, and humour, and Brad Pitt twinned with Angeline Jolie. Oh, come to papa and scream like a Canadian film fan whose just lost his stalking rights!
The trailer looks mightly impressive, and the guys from Empire are as equally impressed:
It’s been oft-delayed and much-maligned, with its release date pushed back several times amidst reports of mucho reshoots, a made-up-as-they-go-along script and the influence of star egos, but finally the trailer for the Brad Pitt-Angelina Jolie vehicle, Mr. And Mrs Smith, is here – and it looks spectacular…like a strange, crazy hybrid of Prizzi’s Honor (Jolie and Pitt are the world’s deadliest assassins…and they’re married to each – but don’t know it!) and True Lies, it is one of the most mouthwatering trailers Empire has seen for a while
I’d totally agree, it looks stunning and I have to say there is a huge nod to True Lies with the same feel of the “hiding your identity at home” plot and the tango sequence shown with the same music playing. Nod indeed, and not rip off I would say.
According to IMDB, and John, you may want to make sure you’re lying down for this:
Brad Pitt will give viewers of his new film a rare treat – the sight of his naked posterior…And in order to cater for both men and women, director Doug Liman will include a racy shot of the Girl, Interrupted beauty’s breasts in the smoldering scene.
Now, there’s the price of admission. No, seriously, this does look like a hot movie despite all the reported problems, not only the much rumoured relationship between the stars but also:
…bitter bust ups with director Doug Liman. According to gossip columnist Roger Friedman, Jolie’s onscreen husband Brad Pitt has had to act as mediator between the pair as they have “disagreed on just about everything he has asked her to do”, according to onset sources. Jolie has reportedly come close to “meltdown” and the film’s budget has spiraled out of control to over $100 million with a month of shooting left, as Liman struggles to keep a grip on production on the film, which is due for release later this year. An insider tells Friedman, “You can tell there’s tension on set. Between the written word and what was shot would be three different things.”
Well tension on the set could be such a good thing in this movie, especially when you see where the plot is heading in the trailer.
This movie looks like guns, style and lead chemistry galore, and with such moviestars in place for the lead I can’t see how it could fail…well I could, but judging by the trailer it’s not going to.
