No Response for "The Wrestler Trailer Online"
It looks fantastic. Okay, Best Actor is going to be tough as hell but I’ll be it’s down to:
Rourke
Penn
Langella
DiCaprio
Eastwood
It’s hard to imagine Benicio Del Toro NOT getting nominated for his extraordinary turn in Che but it might just be too hard core of a sit for voters. Who knows….
the music got me a little choked up…
neeeeeeed to see this.. NOW!
Sasha, I’m with you (today) if you switch Del Toro for DiCaprio and Jenkins for Eastwood.
It looks fabulous, and I’m excited about Rourke’s comeback. I hope he makes a serious run here.
And I also liked the Bruce Springsteen song in the trailer. Is that an original song made for the movie? Hmmm … could be a Best Song nominee in there, too.
The trailer was well worth the wait. This film looks absolutely fantastic and deeply moving. It’s a lock for a Rourke nomination and maybe even the win.
I agree with the above poster noting The Boss’s excellent song. Cannot wait and will be there opening day… in limited release.
The Springsteen song is (SPOILER BELOW)
over the final credits. Some people don’t like to know these things, I gather. It’s new.
Love this trailer. It’s exactly what I expected (and wanted) it to be.
Is there anyone really looking forward to this film who has no interest in professional wrestling? Just interested…
It looks like Brad Pitt is the odd man out. I thought just a few weeks ago that he was a lock to get in.
My predictions are now
Frank Langella
Clint Eastwood
Richard Jenkins
Mickey Rourke
Sean Penn
to poster #7
me!
I was never into pro-wrestling at all…
anyone else get a “Raging Bull” with a heart vibe from this? people called “The Fountain” a “2001″ (my all time favorite) with a heart and the result was my favorite film of 2006 and one of the best films I’ve ever seen.
I repeat: NEEEED to see this. I’m TOTALLY there on opening day.
I’m so down. This will be beautiful.
Long Live The Fountain!
Andre,
I actually get more of a – and I know many people have used this comparison already – a “Rocky Balboa” with edge type feeling. Everything from the gritty New Jersey streets, to the dive bars, to the mom and pop mini mart, to wrestling in high school gymnasiums, to the brief cameo of the old 80’s WWF Action Figure Dolls, everything looks perfect. Professional wrestling has needed a film to look at it seriously, to show what a truly sad and depressing industry it can be. Aronofsky, screenwriter Robert Siegel, and Rourke look like they nailed it.
Hopefully this garners Aronofsky his first Oscar nod. He was completely robbed for The Fountain.
This is a relationship film: the relationship between Marisa Tomei and a stripper pole, that is.
j/k
Tomei matches Rourke and shows surprising reserves of grace and strength. I thought she was lovely. I’ve been saying this since Toronto, and she is absolutely one of my favorite supporting actresses this year.
I would be tempted to call it her best performance.
I haven’t the slightest interest in pro wrestling, and I loved the film. I saw it as a story of the body as a war zone — the sport is immaterial.
deep… powerfull…
dicaprio
langella
rourke
penn
and hopefully either Pitt or Del Toro…
I want to sob like a little baby.
Guy, that’s a great way to describe the film. You could even go one step more in depth by drawing comparisons between his and Marisa’s characters both using the only commodity they have (their bodies) to make a living. They’re both kind of past their prime. Their bodies not raking in what they used to.
I would like to see this again, actually.
This film is so, so, so good.
Best film of 2008. You all MUST see it!!!
I want to see this so bad, but I don’t live in a big city so I will have to wait a while before I see this
Looks absolutely terrific. And it will probably lead, not just to nominations for Rourke and Aronofsky, but one for Tomei as well, the third of her career. She’s proving her controversial Oscar was no fluke.
I have to say, in those few brief moments you see her, Evan Rachel Wood does look stunning (though she does sorta look like Christina Applegate, too–which isn’t a bad thing either)
This category looks older than normally. In many of the aforementioned predictions the youngest has be Sean Penn (born in 1960). I think, one spot goes to someone even younger – Benicio Del Toro (1967) or Leonardo DiCaprio (1974) comes to mind.
I fast-checked the past 50 years in this category and couldn’t find any year where the youngest nominee has been as old as 48. In fact, last year was some sort of a record when Johnny Depp was the youngest nominee at age 45. Usually the youngest has been in between 30-40 (and the oldest over 60), so in general this is an “old” category.
Tero, that´s right. But I really expect either Leo diCap or Brad Pitt getiing a nominee. This category is crowded like hell, but I´m pretty confident about Sean Penn, Frank Langella and also Clint Eastwood.
I´m not even an Eastwood admirer (didn´t like Million Dollar Baby), but “Gran Torino” sounds really really good and important, in terms of an social issue like discrimination that is still very up-to-date.
Eastwood playing a purified racist sounds like pure Oscar material to me. And I wouldn´t be surprised if the movie itself will also be in the top categry, maybe replacing “TDK” or “Revolutionary Road”.
Amazing, amazing, all, the song, etc. Seems to have a lot of good humour too. My god, how beatiful is Maris Tomei in ythe glory of her 44 years. Hotter than when she was in her 20’s and 30’s.
Just missed a mention to the Golden Lion of Venice that the movie won.
I smell exatcly what happened with “Brokeback Mountain”: with the months to come, this award will “disappear” because “The Wrestler” will be nominated and maybe won more popular awards, such as the Academy one’s. In several editions of “Brokeback” in DVD all over the world, the Golden Lion that the fil also wons isn’t mentioned.
Rourke is a very sympathetic figure.
Is it just me or is Tomei totally commanding on screen?
From what little acting I’ve seen in the trailer, I could barely keep my eyes off her. She should get a nod, definitely. Possibly a WIN?
I loved this movie when I saw it, and I love it even more weeks later. I still walk with Randy The Ram and his trials from time to time and that Springsteen song pops in my head every time I do. If there’s any justice this movie will at least win Best Actor and Best Song. And for all who are excited about Tomei, while she is very good, the Supporting Actress nomination should go to Evan Rachel Wood, who is flat out unbelievable in this. I’d be happy to see them both get a nomination though. This is most likely gonna be one of my 5 favorite films this year (although I like TDK, Wall-E and Slumdog Millionaire even more as of now).
Now it is on my list.
