Yeah I've been chatting this one up from before I read the book as a possible Oscar contender - and then I read the book and it went higher up for me.
That trailer gets at the core of the book and there are many directions the book goes into that it doesn't suggest which is wise and I assume the movie will cover too. It's more McKellen's story but Mirren's is deceptively deeper in the novel than you'd think and Mirren I've said this before never let's you down in her acting opposite a male acting equivalent ........and she doesn't have many of those in the world either.
Now it may get nodded for nothing - I mean, how much money do they have for bribes and campaigns after all but as a movie........looks aces.

I have to say, I've really been digging the marketing for this. For some reason you get the sense that a movie about a con man starring Ian McKellen and Helen Mirren would be a relatively light affair, like a 60s caper, but that's clearly not what's on the menu here. This looks intense, gritty, even a bit gnarly. Love it.
oh, and Mirren / McKellen are definitely in the game.

Quite like it - the trailers do a very good job in capturing the feel of the book which is deceptive, twisty, slyly comic and dark and subtly shaded ........it couldn't be cast better I'll say that much. Far more excited for this than this seasons more baity films being shoved down our throats that's for sure.......keeping my fingers crossed that Bill Condon doesn't lose the novels balance.
