[The Bookerman]

Bloom and Neeson? looks great.

Link to Quick time trailer

 

[Prospero]

This trailer played before The Aviator. Looks excellent.

 

[Drozmight]

I haven't seen the movie and already I know who wins.

 

[The Bookerman]

I haven't seen the movie and already I know who wins.

Christians?

 

[teiresias]

That scene where Mecha-Gibson appears and wins the battle for the Christians should be amazing.

 

[Drozmight]

Christians?

I saw that Saladin is one of the characters and Liam tells Orlando to defend Jerusalem... so I think it's safe to say the christians lose this one, unless it's not historically accurate. It looks awesome though.

:lol :lol :lol

Trailer tells all: huge armies on the move, and plenty of time to hit the snack bar while Orlando fills in the space between fights practicing his acting.

 

[Grizzlyjin]

Looks pretty good, I'm a sucker for these type of movies. Hell, I even liked Troy. :lol

Thanks, I know you were speculating but your speculation is probably spot on so spoiler tags would have been great heh. Funny I had never even heard of this movie myself till today (was on CNN's 10 for 05' and i remembered seeing this post earlier) and now in less than a 20 minute time span i've got a pretty good idea how the basic story will go (if a movie is based on historical events imo it should be historically accurate). We'll see i guess, the movie does look pretty slick.

 

[LinesInTheSand]

Can't wait. The trailer makes me think of Gladiator in terms of style and it looks like Ridley Scott taught Orlando how to act like a man AND how to act. Impressive!

 

[Hawksley]

Hey now, lay off Legolas. He's doing okay for an elf from the backwaters.

 

[Bristow]

Wow, did somebody teach Orlando Bloom how to act finally? He doesn't appear to be too shabby in this one. Looks good.

 

[Lil' Dice]

Christians owned hardcore in this one.....i'm there!

 

[Dice]

I want to see it. I love the style of knights and stuff from that period, even though they are generally the bad guys. And I agree it seems like Orlando has improved, or at least isn't playing the prettyboy-next-to-the-real-man character he usually does.

 

[Brian Fellows]

Johnny Depp was a real man in Pirates?

 

[Iceman]

"Christians owned hardcore in this one.....i'm there!"

Nice.

Is this not the equivalent of saying, "Jews owned hardcore?? I'm so there!" (although I'm sure some people on this board have no problem with that either)


Nevertheless. Ridley Scott = butter.

 

[Dice]

Johnny Depp was a real man in Pirates?

Of course, can he be anything else?

 

[Brian Fellows]

Yes he was the second but much better acting pretty boy. Cant say I've ever thought of him as a "real man".

 

[nitewulf]

Johnny Depp was a real man in Pirates?

he was a perpetually drunk gay man, but he was the man, no doubt.

 

[number386]

Is it just me or does anyone else think hollywood is trying to cash in on the epic battle scenes from LOTR. You had troy, alexander, king arthur, and now this.

 

[Eminem]

damnit, LOTR has turned me into such an Orlando Bloom whore. I want to see this now.

 

[capslock]

Does Orlando want any variety in his movie projects at all?

 

[Mike Works]

Christians owned hardcore in this one.....i'm there!

Owned like Lil' Dice, am I right? Have fun not posting for a while.

he was a perpetually drunk gay man, but he was the man, no doubt.

He wasn't gay. Those weren't men slapping him, buddy.

I hope it's just you, because Gladiator kind of came before LOTR.

 

[number386]

yeah but gladiator didn't have the grand army battles like LOTR. Dont get me wrong I'm a big ridley scott fan, and I'm definetly gonna watch this.

 

[Ristamar]

What, no Jeremy Irons love? Hmph.

 

[Duck of Death]

What, no Jeremy Irons love? Hmph.

Let thar blood, ruhayyyynnnneeeee from dur skaaaa!!!

 

[Ristamar]

:lol

Yeah, he'll never live that one down.

 

[Tritroid]

Considering Gladiator is my favorite movie, this looks fucking awesome.

 

[Willco]

How many times does Liam Neeson play the same variation of a knight and/or warrior?

 

[nitewulf]

He wasn't gay. Those weren't men slapping him, buddy.

:lol

well actually im sure the character wasnt meant to be gay, but depp decided to play it as a gay man (i mean come on!), and in turn made the movie.

 

[Willco]

Uh, no.

No way was Captain Jack Sparrow ever gay.

... Johnny Depp played Sparrow as a rock star modeled after Keith Richards and perhaps if you ever saw the film, he got tons and tons of hawt whore ass.

 

[nitewulf]

i understand all that, yet, he was quite clearly GAY!! :lol

 

[Mike Works]

well actually im sure the character wasnt meant to be gay, but depp decided to play it as a gay man (i mean come on!), and in turn made the movie.

As Will said, he modelled himself after Keith Richards (who is going to play his Dad in the sequel). And as I mentioned, he showed nothing but interest in women in the entire movie.

 

[Ristamar]

i understand all that, yet, he was quite clearly GAY!! :lol

Nah. Typical rock stars have always been a tad flamboyant and fruity, and pirates were the rock stars of their time.

 

[Willco]

Yes, Captain Jack Sparrow was gay. He was indeed gay about getting tons and tons of hot, wholesome man on woman action! Endlessly, gloriously gay!

... about heterosexual sex.

 

[nitewulf]

alright flamboyant, fine. if you said jagger i could have seen it better though. jagger is way more flamboyant (fruity) than richards.
either way his perpetual drunkness was too entertaining and made the movie for me.
