Trailer soon for this..........whatever "this" is.......the poster lets you know that this is one of Big Al's "if I'm not the lead they can't blame me!" ones like Son of No One and Misconduct ......oh, they can blame you buddy, trust me......and more importantly, I blame you, do I mean NOTHING to you anymore?

I'm usually a sucker for court room dramas but this one looks... I don't know, bad!
Not abysmal, just bad.

That is a fake movie and I will not be convinced otherwise.

Youtube link to it now - @1:40 "Mildred Gillars Al Pacino is on trial for reading from a script (s)he did not write, and (s)he did not believe in!"............hmmmmmm ok - this will be the official statement from the offices of pacinoyes until further notice
No further questions.

Michael Polish's imdb is pretty weird. He's directed like 14 feature films since 1999, and I've only heard of one of them.

Not Pacino-related, but I didn't know until today that Thomas Kretschmann was in this... playing Goebbels. Between this, his role in The Pianist, and playing a leader of Hydra in the MCU, I would honestly be shocked if he's not playing a Nazi in Indiana Jones 5. (I haven't gone through his whole filmography, but just how many Nazis has this guy played??)

I seem to know him more for being with Kate Bosworth unless that’s his twin that is with her, and I’m not sure why they got coverage from the gossip sites because it seems she hasn’t done anything of note since Blue Crush and that seems forever ago, and dated Orlando Bloom and Alexander Skarsgård. Anyhow on topic, it looks bad, but I got a laugh at how bored Al looks on the poster.

Holy lame. They should've picked a little court scene... not one with whatshername and a blatant continuity error (the glasses!).

Not really "news," but Brenda Fricker has quite a funny little story to tell about the 1990 Supporting Actor race.

How long would it have taken to ask him "What is the status of your film of King Lear?" Grrrrrrrrrrr

His mention of the Dreyer, which is itself awesome, gives me hope that he's still looking at that for inspiration in Lear, as he told the cinematographer he wanted that aesthetic intimacy. I like his comment on GF3 Coda - "straightened the boat" is an interesting way to put it.

Good interview. It'd be nice if a great director gave him a great role soon. I was not satisfied by The Irishman (good as he was in it), or OUATIH (where he had like 5 minutes and it didn't pop like Walken's cameo in Pulp).

All the reviews are negative - as expected - but here are two standout little bits for Big Al.... LA Times : "There is a bright spot to the movie, though, and that’s Al Pacino, at his sly, rumpled, irascible best" filmyap.substack.com/p/american-traitor-the-trial-of-axisAlso in an interview Meadow Williams said the role was initially meant to be for De Niro but he turned it down bc 'he didn't like the script.' So then they went to Al.

She of course is continuing "killing the GOATS" by appearing as a law enforcement officer - utterly convincing I'm quite sure (um) in the upcoming De Niro / Malkovich movie Wash Me In the River..........although she's not in the IMDB credits, I'm sure I saw a photo of her on set in a police uniform ........I remember the cleavage ......her "boyfriend" is credited in it ( Swem Temmel). Quite a scam they have going on !

De Niro, who agrees to play in almost everything... didn't like the script!!! And Pacino did!!
Oh, God. This is going to be unwatchable...
