It started out fine, then completely goes down hill. Just wow. Bad stuff. It doesn't look bad, the trailer is just really bad. | | Static Link |

All the snowbirds grinding against the famous peoples makes me nauseous. It looks okay. I probably won't bother watching it until cable. At least then you can just change the channel when the suck realization might kick in. | | Static Link |

I probably will though. And erm... Someone got their intel wrong... Is there some reason they changed the name of the mayor? | | Static Link |
| Posted by: Monotreme at April 11, 2008, 10:15 am | | Topic: BATTLE IN SEATTLE TRAILER Forum: JoBlo | | It looked to me like they just re-staged the protests and injected some of the film's characters in... So this looks interesting. I like the whole Paul Greengrass docu-drama style and it's got a great cast, but I hope the film manages to hold our attention as well as Bloody Sunday or United 93 did. | | Static Link |
| Posted by: BakeTheMooCow at April 10, 2008, 3:16 pm | | Topic: BATTLE IN SEATTLE TRAILER Forum: JoBlo | | It looks like they have archived footage from the actual protests and they're trying to blend it with a fictionalized story. Fuck that. One or the other, please. | | Static Link |
| Posted by: JCPhoenix at April 10, 2008, 3:00 pm | | Topic: BATTLE IN SEATTLE TRAILER Forum: JoBlo | | Personally I think that trailer is kind of poorly put together (does it really need to be over the normal trailer length of 2:30 for what amounts to as many shots as they could fit in of the protests?) and from the trailer, the writing seems a little iffy. For a trailer that's extra long, you'd think they'd try to hook you on the characters but I just felt like there were the most random shots of characters, random shots of protest, and that was the entire trailer. On the other hand, I dig the handheld vibe though of some of the stuff there... | | Static Link |

Thought I read the trailer right but had to confirm it, Stuart Townsend directed, wrote and was one of the producers on this which surprised me. Looks like he could have done a really good job. | | Static Link |
| Posted by: FLAME_ON at April 10, 2008, 11:39 am | | Topic: BATTLE IN SEATTLE TRAILER Forum: JoBlo | | I saw an independent documentary on this a while back ("Showdown in Seattle: Five Days that Shook the WTO") and it was pretty crazy. I was a little young in 1999 so I didn't know or care about this protest until I saw the documentary. I was amazed that something like that actually happened because I figured in this day in age, no one protests anymore like that. It was pretty powerful; this should be a really good film. | | Static Link |

The cast is solid and the trailer is excellent. I'm really looking forward to this one. | | Static Link |
