Hi everyone,
For some strange reason I don't seem to be able to view the trailer. Which sucks big time since it sounds cool. Any idea why it isn't working for me? Thanks.

IMHO Ron Perlman should be more recognizable given the recent trailers for Hellboy II, which I believe are truly breathtaking.
it looks cool but was oh so short. my initial reactions are 1) caviezel's voice sounds hoarse and otherworldly. barely recognizable. 2) no sophia myles which is confusing. females may want to see this too and it'd be nice to see some kick ass chick sword wielding people to death. 3) i know it was only 90 seconds but advertise the names of caviezel, perlman and john hurt somewhere in the trailer.
all in all it did a good job portraying itself and wetting the appetites to those that want to see more. it'd be nice if american movie sites can pick up on this (comingsoon.net, aintitcoolnews, dark horizons etc..) to give it as much publicity as it deserves. maybe word of mouth will spread and force the weinsteins to show this movie here in north america.
Yeah, it's a little odd that it doesn't really name the actors, but In some ways that lets the action and story stand out more and lets the actors disapear into the roles. But it does seem odd that they didn't show Sophia. As an interesting side note, I happen to have here the most brief clip of sophia hacking some poor fellow with a sword... It's barely more than a second or two long though.
The trailer is pretty much in vein with the Poster though regarding not mentioning much beyond the executive producer who probably did help out quite a bit to focus the concept art and stuff like that, and the scenes in the trailer are amazingly close to that concept art. Stilll, it's also an international trailer so a domestic campaign would probably focus on the more familiar elements... we'll see I guess.
Also word is already spreading in some circles...
there's a huge typo
"lord of the ring"
can you elaborate on the spreading in some circles quote? also do you think there would be that much difference between an international trailer and a domestic one? if so why is that so? thanks, look forward to your feedback and also from those lucky enough to see it these next few days.
Where is the trailer?..I also see nothing either???
