The Director In The Trailer
Ain't It Cool just posted the new onesheet for M. Night's new film.
Even though I am a huge fan of his work I have been relatively uninterested in this project until now. The new trailer actually looks promising. I love M. Nights use of banal settings for magical events and this film looks to deliver on all fronts.
And this fellow is getting more and more brash with each film. He stars in the trailer for this one. My bet is that within three films he will be playing the fucking lead.
Why stop there? Perhaps with camera trickery he could play all the roles.

In all fairness, I don't think you can say he "stars" in the trailer. It was a very brief cameo, you must admit. I think it might be a smart move on his part - he has raised his profile with Amex and so forth - he has "branded" himself, if you will, and perhaps is now taking advantage of that, even in a small way?
Or maybe you are right and it's all ego! I can't imagine Hitchcock giving himself a moment in a trailer. Hehehe.
It's interesting how different to the teaser this one is. The first was even described as a "bed time story" or a fable (not sure which?) but the gist was a "benign" story. I like the fact that this seems to reflect a darker fairy-tale edge, (Although what is it with CG wolves? They are everywhere these days. I should be an agent for them!) Anyway, all the good fairy tales involve some kind of believable threat... I'll have to wait and see.
Ho-hum. I'm just hanging around, waiting to head off to the airport to collect Neil!
(Love all your recent posts by the way.)
I have to agree that Signs was atrocious. Great premise but I think he tripped up when he tried to add in all that very flat humour. In its defense, it was hobbled by Mel Gibson.
The first trailer for the film was very different. That was what put me off the film. It looked rather bland.
They are still using the "bedtime story" line though it appears to have more scope than originally suggested. Apparently it is quite epic.
As for his forays into acting. Don't defend him Donald. He is a megalomaniac on a quest for cinematic domination.
He is hatching a master plan to be the first man ever to win all the major Academy Awards in one year, including all four major acting awards. And I think he has his eye on "best score" as well.
I really enjoyed looking at your site, I found it very helpful indeed, keep up the good work.
