The ATONEMENT Trailer Has Pretty Pictures (And War Stuff, Too)!!
Merrick here...
…with a quick follow-up.
A while back. We ran some intriguing set photos from a project called ATONEMENT (based on a World War II-era novel by Ian McEwan. The movie stars Keira Knightly and the super awesome James McAvoy. You can find our original coverage HERE.
ATONEMENT’s trailer was recently unveiled by Empire Online, and offers a “finished” look at some of the sequence whose filming we chronicled in our article. Thought this might be an interesting compare & contrast. LOVE the look of the film (it’s photographed by Seamus McGarvey, who shot WORLD TRADE CENTER).

But Knightley in 30s/40s period mode can't be ALL bad.

And Lasseter has helped Disney wash the taste of crap like Chicken Little, The Wild and a half dozen DTV "sequels" out of my mouth. Walt would have been proud.

and not letting me watch this trailer.

My friend's cousin babysat Seamus McGarvey's kids, I think while he was shooting High Fidelity. Who wants to touch me? No, really, folks, that's a true story.

...not sure about this yet.

I don't like war movies in general, and yet some of my favourite films happen to be about war. (Roma, città aperta, Apocalypse Now, Hiroshima mon amour, Idi i smotri...) I don't understand this paradox, but now that I've shared it I feel like a weight has been lifted from my shoulders. Thank you.

the marching at twilight reminds me of one of my fonder memories

That actually made me chuckle Merrick. Thank you.

No weepy sweepy shots, no CG "retro era war city scape" shots. No filler... all killer. Jokes aside. Black Book was awesome.

For just a second there, I thought KK was doing a full monty!! Commenced to drooling, only--NOT!

...a killer shag scene up against the stacks in the library! i both loved and hated this book, so i'm very intrigued bout the film.

I don't think there is enough MEH in the world
by judge dredds dirty undies
for that trailer.

Maybe its just me but Knightley is a waste of space.

Don't be deceived by what you see here: it's absolutely NOT a war movie. It's much more slippery and naughty and deceptive than that.

Inevitable, really, that they would do this with a novel by turns beautiful, gritty and annoying. Stosslova's right: the book is crafty. But the set-pieces obviously appealed to the producers' ingrained sense of the epic narrative: the library, the note, Dunkirk, the aftermath...OK, no more spoilers. I don't want to prejudge, but there'll be a temptation to "flatten" everything out in a display of plot mechanics over the ritual three acts. And that would be a shame. Because if they even get halfway to attaining that balance of event, subtext, the ambiguous nature of fictive/factual recall that made it so compelling on the page, we could be in for something a bit special. About time too.
