While I’ve never been to The Weinstein Company offices, I can only assume that at some point in the last month or so, Harvey Weinstein blazed into a conference, and scrawled on the wall in capital letters SEX SELLS. Long considered a marketing truism, we’ll see how that approach plays out when the long delayed period drama “Tulip Fever” opens this weekend.
After a saucy red band trailer, The Weinstein Company has doubled down on the boobs releasing three NSFW clips from the movie, featuring Alicia Vikander is various states of undress. It’s not a particularly elegant way to sell a movie, but when something has been sitting on the shelf for as long as “Tulip Fever,” I can only imagine that desperate times are calling for desperate measures. Here’s the official synopsis:
In 17th Century Amsterdam, an orphaned girl (Alicia Vikander) is forcibly married to a rich and powerful merchant (Christoph Waltz) – an unhappy “arrangement” that saves her from poverty. After her husband commissions a portrait, she begins a passionate affair with the painter (Dane DeHaan), a struggling young artist. Seeking to escape the merchant’s ever-reaching grasp, the lovers risk everything and enter the frenzied tulip bulb market, with the hope that the right bulb will make a fortune and buy their freedom.
Co-starring Dane DeHaan, Christoph Waltz, Holliday Grainger, Jack O’Connell, Zach Galifianakis, Dame Judi Dench, Matthew Morrison, Tom Hollander, Cara Delevingne, Cressida Bonas, and David Harewood,”Tulip Fever” opens tomorrow.

so,when can we get theplaylist’s ‘tulip fever’ review ???
will there be a rabid increase of people wanting to visit a convent after seeing these trailers ?? 😉
and is there an unrated version of this sitting on a shelf somewhere ??? yes i’m horrible…
this is opening in only 765 theaters. so neither a platform nor going wide.no idea what weinsteins are hoping for money wise this weekend.but maybe that’s ok because nothing’s making money this weekend…
if ‘tulip fever’ makes the top five for the weekend maybe they’ve pulled out some sort of victory ???
“the weinsteins risk everything and enter the frenzied tulip bulb market, with the hope that the right bulb will make a fortune… ”
p.s.
will whomever please keep the red band trailers coming.
yes, i’m a loser with nothing else to look forward to.thank you.
