Finally! I have been really excited for this movie! I love Joe Wright's work! And you can't go wrong with Tom Stoppard who co-wrote one of my favorite movies of all time, Shakespeare in Love.
I'm going to say it right now. I didn't know what the story was about before watching this trailer. I was simply excited for it because of the people behind it. Yes, Keira Knightly's movies can turn out to be similar sometimes. This one for example reminds on of The Duchess in many ways, but I like Knightly. I haven't disliked any of her movies that I saw. I think she's very talented and pretty, and I can see why directors like to cast her in period pieces.
Jude Law looks awesome as usual. I can't say the same thing about Aaron Johnson though. I don't know if it's because of the way the character is written. It's too bad because I like his work! I really like him in Kick-Ass and I admire it when actors are able to play a different variety of roles. Maybe it's the mustache :P This is just a trailer. It's too early to judge.
I don't know if I'll get to see this movie in theaters, but in the meantime, I may as well start reading the novel. I have been compelled to read Anna Karenina for while now. The size is pretty intimidating though.
