Trailerz!

The trailers for the two movies I'm anticipating the most premiered this week. I love when trailers come out for movies you've been so excited for, and they look fucking awesome.

First is Nine:

I have been looking forward to this movie since I heard that it was Rob Marshall's (Chicago, Memoirs of a Geisha, only famous person I know) next project. It looks absolutely amazing! I was pretty nervous about some of the casting (Fergie, Kate Hudson) but it looks like I have nothing to worry about. Fergie's song in the trailer sounds excellent. I feel like such a fan-boy right now. I can already predict that Nine is going to be my musical wet dream come true for 2009

Second is Precious:
Precious was one of the big hits at Sundance this year (where it was titled Push: based on the novel by Sapphire). It stars Mo'nique, Mariah Carey, and newcomer Gabby Sidibe. It looks absolutely heartbreaking and Mo'nique has gotten rave reviews and Oscar-buzz for her performance as Precious's abusive mother. Mariah glammed it way down for this one in order to play a welfare councilor. I expect this to be my favorite non-Nine movie of the year.


What Movies are you looking forward to?

he didn't direct it or anything, I guess his company bought it. I'm pretty sure he and Oprah came on board post-sundance
