This is kind of surprising......James McAvoy just starred in an Olivier nodded (his FOURTH nod in a decade) version and he may win the Olivier for it, meanwhile his Atonement director stages a film as a musical (?) from a nowhere as near acclaimed Cyrano .......with Cyrano and Roxanne recreating their roles. Now I am not complaining because sexy af Haley Bennett (pacinoyes crush in the current crush thread) is in it......and she's Joe Wright's girlfriend so......... Alrighty then....... EXCLUSIVE: MGM has acquired Cyrano, a musical film adaptation that will bring four-time Emmy winning Game of Thrones star Peter Dinklage back in the title role he played onstage, and Haley Bennett reprising as Roxanne that she played alongside him at the Goodspeed Opera House’s Terris Theatre in 2018. The film will be directed by Joe Wright (Darkest Hour), and Brian Tyree Henry and Ben Mendelsohn will also star. The film will be produced by Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner of Working Title, along with Guy Heeley.

Everything about this is exciting except for Joe Wright, but as long as it ain't Tom Hooper.

This could be interesting and maybe an awards situation for Dinklage. Side note - there's a slam dunk project for him in John Sayles sports-comedy book Pride of the Bimbos, turn it into an HBO or Netflix series and it's a hit.

Hopefully it'll be better than PAN

I just hope that it's good and that The National write an original song for it and get Oscar-nominated (a win would be too much of a dream). They've already been robbed for "Think You Can Wait" in that wasteland of a year that was 2011.

Looks great, it's also great to see Peter Dinklage in a leading role on a film. Hope he gets the nomination for this.

It could be a botch, but it looks wonderfully early 2010s and earnest. I'm okay with that. Dinklage is always a good thing, and the music seems nice.

Looks like a breath of fresh air. A bigger production than I was expecting, definitely a contender for costumes and sets, and Dinkalge looks just amazing

Now that's more like it. Looks way better than I was expecting. Dinklage is such a great actor and I'm happy he's getting a big lead role in this. The set pieces and costumes look elegant and amazing. Musicals normally aren't my thing but the songs in this trailer were at least pleasant sounding and tolerable (unlike the nails on the chalkboard songs in the Dear Evan Hansen / Tick tick Boom trailers lol)
This film looks like a return to form for Joe Wright. Here's hoping it is.

This seems like a movie I will definitely like but dammit, what's up with the pale-as-hell cinematography? McGarvey and Wright are usually such a good team and this seems exactly like the film that should pop visually. I know it's just a trailer but it seems like the photography is doing a bit of a disservice to the production design and the costumes.
