TINKER TRAILER SOLDIER SPY

This movie's existence was such a wonderful surprise the first time you guys popped a trailer up, that it's coming out next month has me over the moon. That is some dream-team casting for possibly the prototypical cold war spy novel. Actually, 5 weeks is still too far away.

Sadly, as someone pointed out in the talkbacks, those of us in the States don't get it till November.

Ooooooo, I'm dyyyyyin' again...

Yeah, silly mistake-- sorry about that. I'm rather disappointed myself. But still close!

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh! I have to wait until JANUARY!!!

So I won't get to see my most looked forward to flick of 2011 until... 2012.

Fuck.

Seriously, staggered film release dates in the age of the internet are such epic bullshit.

And we get it on December 25th. What's the reasoning behind this kind of release schedule?

Oh look, it's a thriller about grown ups and for grown ups. How odd.

YES.  For once the UK get's a good movie early.

Stelios, There are grown up thrillers out there, you just have to know where to look.  Recently, there's been THE AMERICAN,  HANNA  (it's not your average action movie), CARLOS, SHUTTER ISLAND, TELL NO ONE. 

Certainly not enough though.

So about one every 18 months?

Wow. That cast...!

Very, very nice. Considering that only a few years ago he was speaking of being increasingly disinterested in his craft, it's nice to see a bit of an Oldman renaissance going on these days. Just to reiterate what someone said earlier, a sophisticated, grown-up thriller is always welcome, and when you put a filmmaker like Tomas Alfredson behind the camera, it instantly becomes something to look forward to.
