The one-sheet for Jodie Markell’s “The Loss Of A Teardrop Diamond” is out and it’s stylish, gorgeous and perfectly captures the aesthetics of the film, which are quite beautiful, including look, costumes, cinematography and music.
Now the film itself, uhhh, that’s another story. It’s not due in theaters until December 30, 2009, so we should probably lay off on a review or badmouthing it, really, but… let’s just say Bryce Dallas Howard is not all she’s cracked up to be (if she’s cracked up to be at all).
Chris Evans is surprisingly not bad and Ellen Burstyn is always great (and it’s a small role, but character actor Will Patton is always reliable too).
Oh, right, what’s it about? It’s a based on a Tennessee Williams play.
THE LOSS OF A TEARDROP DIAMOND is a new drama based on a recently rediscovered original screenplay by legendary writer Tennessee Williams. Starring Bryce Dallas Howard and Chris Evans, the Paladin release will open in New York and Los Angeles in late December, with expansion to major markets following in early 2010. Academy Award-winner Ellen Burstyn, Academy Award-nominee Ann-Margret, Mamie Gummer, and Will Patton co-star in the film which was directed by award-winning short filmmaker and stage and screen actress Jodie Markell, in her feature debut.
Here’s the trailer.
This is almost the exact REMAKE of the Focus Features Pride and Prejudice trailer (using both songs). I get that they are trying to capture the same audience, but wow…. how embarrassing for whoever cut the trailer.
chris evans proved himself more than capable of greatness with his role in boyle's "sunshine". one of the best parts of that film.
When will people realize Bryce Dallas Howard cannot act?
I've always thought that but was trying to nice for once, maybe just cause the movie is gonna have a tiny release as it is and the date is so far out. I feel bad for it.
Here's a list you should compile:
"Posters (or Trailers) Better Than The Films They Advertise"
I thought Howard and Burstyn were very good in it. Evans, on the other hand, was a little wooden at times.
I've been waiting for this one for quite some time now, I'm glad it will finally get released.
I'm also glad that Chris Evans will prove again that beside looking way too gorgeous, he's also a very good actor. He stole the show with his performance in LONDON a few years ago.
Evans is decent in it, but not like AMAZING or anything.
can't wait to watch this movie…Burstyn is good in it…I think this movie is quite interesting…i want to watch and Download The Loss of a Teardrop Diamond movie because i can't wait for this…
