Last week Andrew posted the WTF? trailer for Jim Sheridan’s upcoming Brothers starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Tobey Maguire (let the confusion begin!) and Natalie Portman. A remake of a Danish film, it’s the story of man whom comforts his older brother’s wife and children after he goes missing in Afghanistan.
The trailer has disappeared (though not completely) and I can relate to Andrew’s response but I can’t help but feel that there’s more to this than the trailer and this new one sheet seems to support that. It’s beautiful; simple but gorgeous and the break in the image is subtle but speaks volumes to what we can expect from the film.
Take a peek below or head over to Cinematical for the super-sized version.
Brothers opens on December 4th.
Movie laboratories are one of my favorite things ever. Metropolis,...
I’m certainly intrigued. But still remain skeptical. Don’t know why. This poster is cool, but I almost feel like it’s trying too hard to be artsy or subtle. I can’t pinpoint my feelings about this movie. Again though, it’s certainly piqued my interest, so that says something.
Trailer is up over at Apple now:

Poster would be better without the white line, and the trailer shows wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too much. Way to much! But I did enjoy In America from Jim Sheridan and I’m willing to give this a go, even though it does kinda feel like 21 Grams meets Pearl Harbour. I’m saddened to hear it’s a remake though.
Holy smokes, the original is directed by Susanne Beir (After the Wedding) and stars Ulrich Thomsen and Connie Nielsen. I have to find that…
I like this one sheet. I doubt I’ll like the movie, but I do like the very simple non-floaty heads, elegent onesheet. Reminds me just a tad of the 3-Iron (Kim Ki Duk’s Bin Jip) poster.
Oh, good call there Kurt – it is a lot like 3-Iron.
