The new Tristan And Isolde trailer has hit the web… and I’m sorrily disappointed in it.
Tristan And Isolde has a few things going for it right off the bat. First is a terrific young leading cast with Sophia Myles (who was hot as lava in Underworld) and who I say will be the next Brad Pitt in a few years James Franco (Harry in Spider-Man). Not to mention a killer source story:
This longtime dream project of executive producers Tony Scott and Ridley Scott explores the medieval legend of a princess and warrior’s love affair, which threatens to tear apart an uneasy peace between England and Ireland. A tale of epic battles, royal intrigue and a timeless, star-crossed passion
The problem is that the Tristan And Isolde trailer fails to impress. Not to mention it employs one of the MOST ANNOYING habits… using modern rock anthem music for a age (or period) piece film. I like Eveanesence and everything… but not in a trailer for a film like this. Yuk.
This obviously has no bearing on if the film will be any good or not… but the trailer is a wash as far as I’m concerned. You can see the Tristan And Isolde trailer here.
