This promo trailer comes out of nowhere and smells like it was released on the quiet because of the American Film Market where producers and filmmaker are currently trying to entice buyers to distribute their films. Whatever the case, it’s out there now and it’s all to our benefit to get an early look.
A long-form promo trailer for Michael Winterbottom’s “The Killer Inside Me” has made its way online and you can see it below. It’s almost six minutes long.
Get it while you can, someone will surely pull something that long down soon. It also borrows some of the Nick Cave and Warren Ellis-penned score from’ “The Assassination of Jesse James By The Coward John Ford.”
Set in the 1950s, the film stars Casey Affleck, as a West Texas sheriff who spirals downward; starting as a bored small-town cop into a ruthless, sociopathic murderer trying to cement his innocence when the evidence looks suspicious. He plays creeps pretty well (see ‘Jesse James’) and look unnerving here as well. Kate Hudson co-stars as the sheriff’s girlfriend, plays Simon Baker as a county attorney looking to expose the sheriff, Jessica Alba is a prostitute and Ned Beatty and Bill Pullman also star in unknown roles (though Pullman looks like a preacher).
The film is based on a Jim Thompson novel — the author who co-wrote Stanley Kubrick’s classic-heist-caper “The Killing.” Filming took place during the summer in Oklahoma and a summer 2010 release is being eyed, though a distributor hasn’t signed on yet. But that’s what AFM week is really all about.
I remember watching the 1976 film years ago. It's got Stacy Keach & Susan Tyrell. It's worth a watch!
Seriously, fix your f#$%ing font. It is so f'ing small it looks like you are trying to become the first braille based blog.
huh? looks the same to me as it always has been.
Yea, the font is a bit smaller now FOR SOME POSTS since you switched to using "read more" links.
I've seen the site on a widescreen and CRT monitor and on both types there are some posts with font half the size. It's pretty odd, but I thought it was just my monitor.
Actually, the front page of the site has squished font. But after opening the "read more" link the font is normal size like before the switch to "read more".
It's as if the entire post gets squished into the frame of the post prior to opening the "read more" link.
I'm using IE and the font gets smaller as the posts get older. Looking at your "Salt" trailer post, the font is so small it looks like a thin line. Seriously.
It might be a IE issue. I'm asking the guys at Google/Blogger to take a look. Hang tight please.
in the meantime i suggest just upping the font via the browser tool under VIEW.
"This movie looks freaking unbelievable. Affleck looks to be a lock for an Oscar nomination for this. Hudson looks incredible from the little we see here. Looks like an amazing Winterbottom film. Can't wait to see it.
This was actually filmed a few blocks away from my school.
