Trailer: The Ides of March

[Buscemi]

Just what you asked for, a movie about smear campaigns!

Guess 10/7 is when Oscar season officially begins...

[Buscemi]

I'd say September 23rd. Moneyball opens then. And then the next week, Machine Gun Preacher opens.

I guess the whole Ides of March thing ties in with Ryan Gosling stabbing George Clooney in the back?

Looks solid, though it doesn't particularly make me want to rush out and see it.

for the first minute of the trailer i thought it looked great and i was actually contemplating going to see it in theaters, but then it just went on giving more stuff away and now it might be a good rental, or i'll just wait till its on netflix

[Geezer]

Jesus Christ this movie has a phenomenal cast!

[silversurfer19]

While it has great cast I just don't see this translating that we ll in box office terms. Both Helena and I watched the trailer and felt very 'meh'. Just like Syriana and Michael Clayton, I see a max. of about $50m, which I suppose is decent, but nothing to write home about. Maybe I'm wrong, but I just don't see this appealing to that broad amount of people.

I have a feeling Clooney's other movie, The Descendants, will be his bigger movie of the season.

[Geezer]

Oh I agree. I don't even think it will get to 50 million. I just think with a cast like that, I'll probably be seeing it eventually. I'm such a sucker for Clooney
