Powder Blue Trailer (AKA Where Jessica Biel Gets Naked)

Powder Blue One SheetYeah, I thought that would get your attention but don’t get too excited. Aside from Biel pouring perfectly good hot wax down her bare back, you don’t get to see any naked action (just shadowy bits) in this first semi-trailer for Powder Blue.

A collection of random clips set to music do very little for me, especially when they give you nothing of the plot and aside from showing that the film looks nice enough, it manages to display Ray Liotta, Forest Whitaker and Kris Kristofferson while never bothering with plot or story. But it’s got Jessica Biel naked so who cares!

Looking around, I have discovered that the film tells the story of “Four Los Angelenos — a mortician, an ex-con, a suicidal ex-priest, and a stripper — are brought together on Christmas Eve by a mixture of circumstances.” It’s faux risqué in that the images are kind of sexy cool but boring at the same time and watching the trailer I was reminded of the awful The Air I Breathe; please, not that mess again.

No news on when and if Powder Blue will open. Frankly, the trailer is more than enough for me.

But for those that want more, trailer is tucked under the seat!

  1. Enough stripper footage! Yikes this looks awful.

  2. Well she pretty much has to get naked to get people to come see her films. She certainly didn’t do it when she kept her clothes on.

  3. No wait I was thinking of Jessica Alba. Doh.

  4. Is it sad to say that they’re somewhat interchangeable? I thought Biel showed a bit of promise in “The Illusionist” but that all seems to have gone out the window.

  5. Am I the only one who really liked this trailer? I thought it had a very cool vibe to it. Having said that so did The Air I Breath….hmmm….

  6. Air I Breath… sigh. Also reminded of the Crash wanna-be, “11:14.” This looks like more of that garbage. I am sick of the “intertwining stories” gimmick. They do nothing for me anymore - even with the high caliber cast.

  7. “Am I the only one who really liked this trailer? I thought it had a very cool vibe to it.”

    By having a really cool vibe, you mean Jessica Biel being naked or half-naked every other second of this trailer? I concur.

  8. Hmmm, was 11:14 out before Crash?

  9. @Jonathan B.

    well that doesn’t hurt but that’s not what I meant. I just meant because of the music playing throughout plus the what’s hinted at. Hard to explain but, again, I liked it.

  10. Kurt, Holy shit you’re right. Fuck it, my statement still stands.

  11. “Kurt, Holy shit you’re right.” Hmmm, That sounds like you are surprised. You shouldn’t be. ;)
