The DREAMGIRLS Teaser Trailer Online Now!!
Hi, everyone. "Moriarty" here with some Rumblings From The Lab...
Dreamworks is about to start pushing DREAMGIRLS imagery on the public, a full year out from the release of the film. There’s a standee that’ll be in theaters any day now, a sizzle reel that journalists are going to get a look at, and a teaser trailer that you’ll see in front of films like THE PRODUCERS and MUNICH all Christmas season.
Click Here And Step To The Bad Side!! Be warned. Some of the buttons work, and some don’t yet. Something to do with tonight’s debut of the trailer on ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT, most likely. You can download the trailer, though, so it’s definitely there for you to see if you’re interested.
Looks like they know how to sell the film, and I’m damn sure Bill Condon (KINSEY, GODS & MONSTERS) knows how to make the movie, so is this already looking like one of the big players for Christmas 2006? I guess we’ll know in about 360 days or so.
"Moriarty" out.

Me actually listening to some of this stuff back in the day and my parents being huge fans of it, I'll be more inclined to give it a look, but your average suburban white fanboy geek could care less.
-
I may not be suburban, but the rest of that is damn true. You might as well be pimping 'the family stone' if you're linking this 'fighting temptations' remake.
-
Terry's statement that "your average suburban white fanboy geek could care less" was probably intended to mean COULDN'T care less. Don't hate me for correcting you Terry, it's just my job. However, seeing as the average suburban white fanboy geek is in possession of repressed homosexual tendencies I think your original statement, that they COULD care less, would make more sense. In fact, though I doubt they'll all go see this flick, I'm sure they all care a hell of a lot...you know they all opt for the fellatio porn over the lesbians, and why is this you may ask? Because they like the sight of a male porn star's ugly member...a lot.

Wow. Topical AND funny. That's right. A show that opened in 1981 is a remake of a movie that came out in 2003. Mmm hmm. Riiight.

by negative man
That's just bad marketing. I mean, we know that Eddie likes men that dress up as women, just didn't know he did. And we all knew Jaime was great as Ray, but I never pictured him in a sequence dress. Will they do a rendition of Eddie's 1985 classic 'Party All the Time'?
-
Looks like an adaptation fo those.
-
I mean, we didn't get to see any of the movie, but the song was awesome. I first read the plot of the movie and then watched the teaser, and it was emotional. Her voice is powerful but it sounds sad. I guess it's because I know that she's going to be pushed out of the group. Poor Effie.
-
looks interesting, who's singing that song though??

That just ain't cool, man. Not at all. You sully the name "Nintendo."
-
I'm just not a fan of musicals I guess
-
...unless you like watching credits and sillouettes. What a waste of time!!!!!
-
No worse than the first X3 teaser. And if you hate that......well....then I guess you'll hate this.
-
X3 is going to be a craptacular nightmare. The only thing that could make X3 worse is if Brett Ratner directed it. I wasn't aware of the Dreamgirls shooting schedule. The only thing that could make Dreamgirls watchable is if Brett Ratner directed it.
-
Lenny, that terrible, over-used song, "I've got the power", was written just for you. What does it feel like knowing that just by typing a few words you can get a person banned? Though I have to say, in Nintendo's case it's been a long time coming. As far as Dreamgirls goes, I never was much of a fan of the Supremes, except maybe when they were duetting with other bands I preferred (The Four Tops, The Temptations, Smokey Robinson and the Miracles). Maybe it was because of Diana Ross' reedy singing, or the fact that there were just so many brilliant girl-groups to choose from around that time, all making brilliant pop-songs. Bands like The Shirelles, Martha Reeves & the Vandellas and the Shangri-Las all interested me a hell of a lot more than The Diana Ross Group. So unless they make a story about The Shangri-Las, and trust me there's one to be told, I'll have to skip this one.
-
I'm glad you have such high hopes for an "actor" who's high points include a shitful performance in a Mike Meyer's vehicle and a side-show in Cuba Gooding's "the fighting temptations" (not to mention a moving Tommy Girl commercial). wow. that guarantees an oscar. not to mention, in 1981, when the original was showcased the "star" was 14. please. The only people who've been saying this shit deserves a viewing, gave Columbus' last shit five stars.
-
it has Black people and its a musical...not a good combo for this site full of racist, homophobic posers who get off on saying shit on this site that they would never say in front of others, lest get their asses kicked. wonder how Chicago went over on Talkback when it was coming out? anyways, i'm one of the very few brothers that actually follow this site, and i remember the Dreamgirls theme song blaring through every car stereo and every boombox in the hood when i was about 11-12 years old; saw the musical in Baltimore as well. along with X3 and Superman Returns, i am looking forward to seeing Dreamgirls in 2006. so Terry_1978, there are a few people who follow this site and give a damn about this movie; thanks AICN for seeing that.
-
If not, I know some peeps that'll take care of him. They go by the names Microsoft & Sony. Those guys are from the wrong side of the tracks.
-
riiiiight behind Danny Glover.
-
It only asked what hits they had outside of the two. Maybe it's payback for my tattling on Nintendo.
-
Seriously, what the hell? Why is this crap on this site? Furthermore, what an awful teaser, it tells you nothing except that the film will have terrible music.
-
Wow.. what prompted THAT stream of bile? I was commenting on the fact that someone called this a remake of The Fighting Temptations, a ludicrous proposition and a feeble attempt at topicality and humour. For this I get a diatribe about Beyonce? What the hell, man? Take the blue pill.
-
now THAT made me laugh. The whole post was funny, but this cracked me up. Sequined. The judges would have accepted "Sequinned" as well. Or sequins. Killin' me, I tell ya!
-
wish they had actual footage
-
The teaser and this thread. First things first- the teaser just wasn't made very compellingly, and they cut Jennifer Holliday off in the middle. I think it's a dumb idea to use her voice in the first place, because Jennifer Hudson isn't going to sound like that, but doing that weird edit towards the end just made it worse. Now on to this thread- shut up, shut up, and yes, shut up. Hey you, white suburban frat boy or whoever the frack you are- are you the kind of poster who'll turn around in another thread and scream at anyone who "stereotypes" Talkbackers as pimple-faced fanboys? Make up your mind. And let me point out the blazingly obvious- comics are a marginalized genre, just like musicals. Like musicals, they used to be in the middle of mainstream culture, but have been shunted aside. And like musicals, their fans are stereotyped. So get over yourself; loving musicals and looking forward to DREAMGIRLS isn't any more or less dorky than loving comics and looking forward to X3. And for the last time, this isn't about the Supremes. Oy.

those critics are full of shit.

Nintendo must of said some bad shit here. It is rather odd to talk about this type of film here, with no Hobbits, Whedon, vampires, etc. in it! Beyonc
-
Well, her and Zhang Zi Yi, Jessica Alba, Jessica Biel, Laetista Casta, Manuela Arcuri, Halle Berry, Scarlet Johansson, Gong Li, Maria Menudos, Penelope Cruz, Anna Valle, Eva Green, Salma Hayek, Mariah Carey, Lucy Lui, Evangalline Lilly, Eva Mendes, Marissa Miller,...
-
not a bad list, well except for the cow Beyonc
-
I would not mind pulling on those udders! But I don't think she is a cow at all. Man, you want to have some giggling going on. Beanpole figures (like Ms. Knightly) don't work. You gotta have some curves to mess with.

BAAAAAD Move. I hope Jennifer Hudson knocks this out of the ballpark and steals this mother. Fracking over-rated Beyonce can't act and I think can hardly sing. I'll give it to you that she's beautiful, but I'm sick of her bad acting in movies. The lame songs in this show should however be suited well to her limited vocal ability. Jennifer floored us a few times on American Idol, I suspect the possibility of (and hope for) a steal on this one.
-
Sometimes I wonder why people come to this site, if all they wanna' do is shit on every little thing. This almost gave me goosebumps, it does what it's supposed to: gets the anticipation going. Do you people watch any other movies but superhero movies? Broaden your horizons, motherfuckers. An all- black musical film of a big Broadway hit - this is exciting. What happened to MOVIE FANS? Sigh....
-
we have to break beyond the Nerd limits of comic books and Firefly to take a look at a great writer/director's next movie. Yeah, it does look stupid, but I'll give it a chance; I loved the shit out of Kinsey. Nobody saw that. Great movie. Gods and Monsters was great too. Yeah, I agree, this is for MOVIE FANS. Look at that cast...pretty fucking interesting, if you ask me.
-
Dec 08, 2005 1:34:02 PM CST
Kudos to R.C. for throwing in Laetista Casta in that bunch
by vinceklortho
You truly are wise, sir. I tip my hat to you.
-
Apparently this is one they're gonna be pushing pretty hard. The teaser was sorta interesting, but I can't see how that would excite anybody, unless you're one of those people who goes to and loves films simply because your favorite actor is in them, in which case, shame on you.
-
Eddie Murphy has Dr Dolittle and The Nutty Professor as his acting credits. Couldn't they have given the man some better credits than that...like Shrek and Shrek 2!!
-
I think some people underestimate the drawing power of the "Dreamgirls" name to the core audience that will be excited by this film so early -- fans of Broadway. Dreamgirls was a legendary production that never had a full cast recording and has rarely been revived. For a teaser, the biggest thing was pushing the name of the film.
I understand why they used the Jennifer Holliday recording of "And I'm Telling You," but that could backfire if Jennifer Hudson proves unable to provide similar power in her version of what is the show's signature song. -
Assuming that the script, direction and editing match the soul of the stage production, it's got hit written all over it. Girls and wannabe girls will go see this multiple times. Black america will embrace it. Nail this and lots of people will get a lot of enjoyment out of it. BUNKYBOO HAS SPOKEN.
-
I just wasted 30 seconds of my time opening quicktime and playing and then skipping through it. Crap. Crap Crap Crap. ___KNEEL___
-
I quote you "Yeah, I agree, this is for MOVIE FANS.".........
Are you nuts? Yeah, a movie with Eddie Murphy, Beyonce- Z, and Jamie Foxx, is for serious movie fans only. You knit wit. Your comments are ridiculous. -
If this trailer gave you goosebumps, I'd suggest staring at a strobe light for 2 minutes, but make sure your parents aren't around...and bring a tissue.
-
What the fuck is that supposed to mean? Oooh, I guess you told me. And no early teaser for a movie with no footage yet, got you excited to see it? Oh, you're so much cooler than the rest of us. And keep the tissue for yourself, when you jizz over the latest "Star Wars" craptacular.
-
so far, looking at the talkbacks for movies like say, "marie antoinette" or "pink panther", no one is really saying those movies don't "belong" on AICN. sure, people think the trailers suck or think the director sucks, or the actors, the music, whatever; but no one has really said "oh man, this isn't cool", or "why is this on the site?" i don't really give a shit if all you morons don't like foxx, murphy, knowles, glover, or don't like the color blue, that's fine. but to just go off on a movie b/c the content is foreign to you(a "Black" movie) or you don't think "Black" movies should be apart of AICN is ludicrous. its also like i said before and like i will always say when i see the kind of shit i read on this site... it is racist. just calling a spade a spade. and to the assholes that will try to make a joke from that statement, the pun is fully intended. i wonder what many of you would've written about "the color purple", "amistad", or "a soldier's story", to name a very few. you people need to open your minds and realize not everything is about the x-men, peter parker, and japanese anime. i guess josh town would call those "serious" movies, right?
-
That girl sang Whitney Houston's song better than Whitney in her prime. She is a talent. I hope she trimmed down a bit and lost those retarded weaves. But still she has one of the strongest voices in R&B right now.
-
Oh, I guess you can count me in the "knit wit" club, too. (I even knit!) Hey, dingbats, when you heard there was going to be a Spider-Man movie, you got excited, didn't you? Because it's freaking Spider-Man, and you don't need a trailer or photos to get excited about that. Well, to other people, this is freaking DREAMGIRLS, and we don't need a particularly good teaser to be anticipating this film. I thought this site was supposed to geek-friendly, but instead, unbelievably, we have geek-snobs! My geeky fandom is better than your geeky fandom! You people are pathetic. Grow up and look beyond your prejudices for once.
-
Oh, and it'll be for the best if Hudson is overweight. The character of Effie is usually played that way. "What?!" you say. "Madness! The protagonist of a Hollywood film wearing anything above a size 4?!" Well, yeah, that's yet another reason this movie can turn out to be very, very cool.
-
That's an interesting looking cast. I'm intriqued. Let's see what you are looking forward to with movies? Godard's next film? Some Asian kung fu movie? I'm not singling out that anybody that doesn't look intrigued by this is not a movie fan. Settle down Nerd. I'm just guessing most of the people are not saying this isn't news are shocked because there is nothing but strobe lights and singing. But, Bill Condon is directing it. You're one of those people that will not go to a movie because it isn't cool enough for your standards. Settle down, Nerd.
