So not exactly 180 degrees different, but this second trailer gives Lone Scherfig’s One Day a quite different feel than the first trailer. The first one was overly sappy romantic comedy hijinx with a horrible voice over (sounded like the guy from the fake Shining trailer).
This time around, it’s still got many of the major plot points but it feels a little bit darker and that there’s more “heavy” drama than previously thought. For starters, Jim Sturgess’ character isn’t at all the character we thought. He’s now a womanizing, heavy drinking, dickhead. On the other hand, it looks much more “artful” and visually interesting (what I’ve come to expect from Scherfig) than the older trailer.
So yeah, I’m seeing this for sure. I mean it’s Anne Hathaway; and that’s a bug I don’t think I’ll ever completely kick. Also, like I said, it looks gorgeous and put together by a director for one of my favorite films of 2009. But now I’m a little torn on what to expect. And those expectations are dropping a little bit with each passing hour. What say you…?













I sat through Love & Other Drugs (didn’t hate it but didn’t like it all that much), so I will probably end up seeing this. I’m still hoping Hathaway has another Rachel Getting Married performance in her.
I really like this trailer a lot more than the first. Gives a better feel for the mood of the story. Looking forward to it.
Hi Andrew! I might rent this one. Not a big fan of Anne but I like Jim after seeing him in The Way Back and 21.
