mcconaughey's gonna be a pretty great weird-looking old guy
lol I had this thought too
he's been really fun recently, post romcom wasteland

I think mcconaughey looks like he'll be good in this, maybe enough to save it

i guess jon favreau too old to play the lead. he's jerky enough.

vin diesel was good as the guy in boiler room. i think he was the guy. its been awhile. scorsese should just work with vin.

I've watched the trailer three or four times, and yeah, some of it works. McConaughey thumping his chest is great--but it's great in the way it plays off the Kanye West song. How well it'll work in the film, especially after you've seen it already, who knows.
The obvious problem, which I'm sure someone's mentioned already, is that every square inch of the immorality/excess/fantasyland of this world has been covered already, starting with Wall Street and especially the past few years in a bunch of documentaries. Scorsese's so late on this. I guess no one's done it as broad comedy yet, but not sure if he's the guy to pull that off.

you guys do know you just watched a 2-minute trailer, and not the actual film, right?

Marty's like the Da Vinci code--we look for clues, and hope...Trailer or no trailer, the recent spate of films covering the same general territory is surely a problem. DiCaprio's opening line about 49 million falls so flat--are we supposed to think "That kind of greed is unimaginable!" after Gordon Gekko and the Enron film and Inside Job and all the rest?

you never know when scorsese's gonna surprise you, but honestly this feels like the most overdone and unexciting subject in the world right now

I don't think this is any different than the threads for The Tree of Life or The Master, where lots of can't-waits and this-looks-awfuls were posted based on early trailers. Or different than hundreds of such threads. That's what we do here, right?

Not to change the subject, but did you see this trailer for a film about a voice-over artist for trailers?

it's not really the "subject" so much as the treatment of it. Does anyone do wall street movies that aren't in this exact coke-fueled, shiny with a dark underbelly mode?

It seems he has to get it to Paramount by 11/25 for Christmas release. (So the critics group I belong to certainly will not see it before our increasingly ridiculous annual awards deadline.)

still looks like only the big critics groups see it before deadline
Nobody's mentioned who wrote the script, which is kinda important, maybe? Terence Winter, a writer-producer on Boardwalk Empire and The Sopranos, and writer of the 50 Cent vehicle Get Rich or Die Tryin' (which I don't remember existing, and Jim Sheridan directed it).

martin scorsese has done so many great things for film culture, so for his sake I hope this makes a gazillion dollars
looks awful though. i suppose i could welcome a return to this kind of scorsese film after the soporific hugo but, nah.
