Hey folks, harry here... Just came back from a non-stop 4 hours of trailers brought to Austin by the amazing Anthony Timpson of New Zealand's INCREDIBLY STRANGE FILM FESTIVAL... A smorgasborg of exploitation and titilation and violence and horror and tales of yesteryear and of times yet to come... All trailers with one thing in common... They kicked ass.
While I can't provide a link to the entertainment I had upon the Drafthouse's sacred screen tonight, I can give ya a link to the new Martin Scorsese opus... a long time dream project of Marty's... GANGS OF NEW YORK.
The trailer feels a little flat, though that could be the shitty streaming Windows Media format... The thought that MIRAMAX is debuting this trailer in this despicable format, when they wisely placed Francis' APOCALYPSE NOW REDUX in the glory format that is Quicktime.. well I consider it a slap. But neverthless, we have have our first moving look at GANGS OF NEW YORK and I'm very very interested in the film still. Daniel Day Lewis' Butcher character looks fantastic, and Leonardo DiCaprio.. well he looks like Leo, but hey... that boy may be way too good looking, but he's a helluva an actor, and has proven it multiple times now!
