The trailer for Atlas Shrugged Part 1 has finally been released!
Au Contraire.
That's a PLUS - no big name actor whose persona would overshadow the role
Bob B. even seems to recognize what the One is - and isn't. It seems he's having a hard time with it and remaining loyal to his side of the fence.
ahhhh!
right
I am sure you will be limited. In Cleveland area there is only one. The Cedar-Lee.
In the past I have put in the movie title & the zipcode (near to release or AFTER release date) & gotten some results.
Rotten Tomatoes used to have that as part of their search but don’t think they have it any longer
You're correct, my mistake. My how the time flies....
He was in Hudsucker Proxy too, so I read, but I don’t remember him in it.
Except that it looks nothing like Network, in style or theme.
Ping for later viewing.
Please God, don't let them screw it up.
Bit part. He’s in one of the offices making a presentation as Tim Robbins is falling outside.
I understand what you're saying. But, in the practical business world of Hollywood, that makes things a LOT more difficult to get a wide release.
Unless the picture has A-list talent, or an A-list director and/or a massive special effects budget, it is very difficult to get very many people to see it.
There are some rare exceptions, but generally those are indie films that have done exceptionally well on the film-festival circuit. That success will sometimes be enough for a major studio to buy the film, even though it's a small-budget, no known talent and brand new director feature film. As far as I can tell, this film wasn't screened at a single film festival. That's not a good sign. I'm not optimistic.
By the way, this is why I think what Mel Gibson was able to accomplish with Passion of the Christ was so incredibly remarkable. He did have a larger budget - at least twice what this film has - but he used every penny wisely, and he created a genius, textbook really, grass-roots marketing strategy. I think these guys would have been smart to screen the whole film at CPAC. The fact that they didn't says one of two things - either they don't know what they're doing, or the film isn't that good, sadly.
Have you seen True Grit? If so, how’d you like it? I haven’t seen it yet.
The whole thing has that “direct to DVD” look to it. Even so, I predict it will sell very well on DVD.
Not yet, but I haven’t been to a theater in years. I hear it’s terrific.
We watched Restrepo recently and were mesmerized by it. It was SO compelling and gritty, completely true to the actual story. I hope it wins the Oscar it richly deserves!
I tend to agree. Dagny would be choosing whom to work with based on their having a vested interest in the success of the enterprise. There is no reason to fear a "double-cross" from someone who gains when you gain.
