Ridley Scott’s AMERICAN GANGSTER Trailer Online Now! Denzel! Crowe! Let The Badassery Commence!
Hey, everyone. ”Moriarty” here.
Oh, boy. This is one gorgeous trailer. I love movies where you take two heavyweight actors and just throw them up against each other. This is a great story, and with Ridley Scott working at the peak of his visual storytelling powers, this might be one of this fall’s most explosive pictures. I’ve heard some amazing things from people close to the production, and this trailer backs all of that up. Fingers crossed. I’d love for this one to be a home run.
Hi Drew – Yahoo! Movies has the first look at Ridley Scott’s, “American Gangster.” Starring Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe, this looks like Scott and Crowe are trying as hard as they possibly can to forget about “A Good Year.”
Check it out here as a stream or in beautiful HD:

and cant wait to see it
-
what the hell does this have to do with eli roth?
-
This movie got a lil somethin
-
Just sayin.
-
...and I'm still waiting for Bladerunner and Alien on HD.
-
He says he has 8000 myspace friends.
-
But I'm still waiting for those movies. Oh yeah, this one looks pretty cool, too
-
come on!!! lame and lazy people!!!
-
And that trailer is pimptastic. What song is that, playing at the end? I'm gonna make it my personal theme song, a la "I'm Gonna Git You Sucka."
-
..."all good heroes should have one!"
-
About 48 hrs. LATE!
-
Oh well it's by Scott so I'll see it.
-
Touche, losing ya touch Harry LOL
Still love your site though. -
If it's really so important to you that you see the trailer the split second it's on line, it's obvious that those of you complaining were already able to. Nobody stopped you. It's never been about making sure we had it before anyone else. It's just a link. The point is that it's worth seeing, and there are plenty of people who don't sit there obsessively refreshing the trailer menu at Yahoo who will now be able to go check it out.
An eight hour difference isn't the end of the world. Stop acting like some crime was committed. It's just asinine. -
He was pissed Harry had more myspace friends and then tossed the phone at me. I have to wait for November for tihs? Shame.
-
Looks pretty cool, but I may not go just because he's in it...
I mean is he an MC?? Gap poster boy??? -
Cannot wait. It's been awhile since they have had a decent gangster picture.

Hate the hip hip hop demographic crap, but otherwise...
by iamjack'suserid
looks like a nice mano-a-mano flick.
-
Mr Scott will be thanking each and everyone of them on the HD-DVD commentary
-
a nice twist on the genre....very excited to see how it pans out.
-
That "pimptastic" song was Jay-Z's excellent Blueprint album. It was produced by Kanye West back in 2001 and sampled an old Bobby Blu Bland. You're right: It would make a great "I'm Gonna Get You Sucka" hero theme song
-
But that trailer didn't do much for me. The songs were crap and the cuts back and forth between the cops and criminals was pretty hamfisted.
-
... "Caiste" like a friend of mine would say in this situations. You get mad and i get a laugh. Good job by the way. Cheers!!! Hahahaa..........
-
Via me on the Shoot em' up thread. So actually AICN's is still the go to sight for cool shit. RECOGNIZE!
-
...Whoops, wrong talkback.
-
Will Ridley Scott finally get that Oscar? Probably not.
-
Denzel and Crowe showing those pansies in the OCEANS movies what real cool is all about. And I'd take Ridley Scott over that hack Soderbergh any day of the week. I'm having flashbacks to 70s cinema here. Awesome work.
-
You know he has one right?
-
do not get the jay z song, thast crap. you want the original sample. by bobby blue band - ain't no love
-
i visit when i turned on my computer Glodene. But what else can i do from my weelchair right now? Stay classy AICN!!!!!!!!Bring the cool shit now!!!!!
-
Ridley still knows how to make em.
-
'Cause if not, Cronenberg wins.
-
...and Blade Runner. It's been mostly downhill from there, with a few bright spots. Still, great actors, great screenwriter, I'll be there.
-
He's far too busy these days. I hear he's got a scathing treatise on the impending tv spots and trailers for [i]Saw IV[/i] and how they're ruining society while hitching his wagon to a site that has given Eli Roth endless handjobs over a soulless exercise in sensationalism masquerading as a film.
We're all looking forward to your next terrible "Masters Of Horror" episode, Drew. That makes it three in a row, right? -
No love in the heart of the city. And guess what? This is AMErICA!
-
Man as long as this Denzel and Crowe movie is better than that piece of crap...I'll be there
-
Denzel's kingpin is from Harlem. Wesley Snipes Nino Brown I think is Brooklyn. This would've been a good sequel/prequel to New Jack City. But it's based on a true story? Is is too late to add Christopher Walken as Frank White?
-
Sensitive thugs y'all need hugs
Good chorus sample from Bobby Blue Bland though. -
Simply put, he wants his dog back.
-
working today. And Ridley Scott's great. So November has this and the MIST? Sounds good.
-
When will that movie come out? After "American Lab Rat," I suppose. Or "An American Famiglia," that would be the tale of an Italian-American family, based on a true story, of course. Oh, wait what about "American Taliban," the John Walker story? Can't wait for that one. In case my sarcasm is not clear, I hate the MASSIVE, WATERED-DOWN CLICHE of putting AMERICAN in the title of a movie and I can't help but wonder if this is one of the many reasons the rest of the world hates us. The hubris, you see. I predict this movie will bomb like Cinderella Man, not because of the title (although C.M. was an even worse title), but because it no doubt has been watered down for the masses like that film. I hope not, because Zaillian can write when he wants to, but it probably will suck. Sorry to be a hater, but this just really looks to be an example of great trailer with potentially sucky movie. And I don't believe that Grazer and Ridley Scott can do something truly edgy anymore, sorry.
-
That looked like Carlito's Way or Blow or something. I don't know what I was expecting. I guess I thought it was earlier gangsters, like that movie Harlem. Oops.
I guess I'll see it. I hope that Ejiofor guy gets to do a movie soon where he doesn't have to walk slightly behind Denzel. -
As great as this looks i keep telling myself not to get excited, as Miami Vice had an awesome trailer, again with a Jay-z tune in it and that turned out to be a lot closer to wank than awesome. however, Ejifor doesnt put a foot wrong and niether does Scott, i just hope to god its UK release isnt overly delayed...
-
Unhappy about this travesty with Paris Hilton's release? Why don't you let our Governor and the LA County Sheriff know how you feel? I did! If enough of us do, perhaps we can reverse the decision made by the sheriff who got his palms liberally greased with Hilton money.

I am not upset with the fact that Paris is not in jail where she belongs but that our elected officials allowed it to happen. Remember this when you vote.
BOYCOTT ANYTHING HILTON! -
Same thoughts here brother.
-
DAMN YOU, MARTIN SCOSESSE!!!

As far as the comment on getting links eight hours or whenever after some other site, who cares? what a moronic complaint. in this case Mori you've done a fine job making a valid and relevant point.In other news, I love how everyone comes to this site to complain. You know Mori and everyone else, if you like to complain so much, start your own site. Or get married. Or laid. Or have a child. Find something else to put your attention on. Maybe start a blog and complain about aicn...like that nut homewrecker did.
-
I think this movie looks awesome, I think it'll do quite well, it'll prolly end up getting good reviews like Departed, and from what I can tell it's got better a WAY better theme song than transformers. There Mori--I even commented about the film! BEAT THAT!Finally, the story you crazies IS about an american gangster. I love the title. its better than black gangster isn't it? its not divisive, it makes its point, its a story about a black guy who makes more money than the italians in the mafia AND he's american. hence: AMERICAN gangster.as for your silly guys who think the world hates america-they owe their current existence to america and america alone. in 200 years or more people will remember the post ww2 era as the pax americana for a reason. and all this america-bashing will be an embarassment people hardly even speak of.Oh, and one more thing, if you hate america so much AND you think everyone else does, please move. that is all.
-
What's the "he wants his dog back" line in reference to?
-
what a waste
-
Looks like it could definitely be worthwhile. And I think it's high time that Ridley Scott got back in the saddle of making a smaller scale drama instead of another sweeping epic. I'd really like to see him pick up some steam and knock one out of the park.And if he really is going to direct "Blood Meridian" he's going to need all his chops. I'm really nervous and excited about that one.
-
He must at least throw a book at him...
-
I'm sorry, but the trailer is boooriiing. Plus, doesn't this look like a movie that'd be considerably more interesting/badass in the hands of Tony?
-
Crimson Tide, Man on Fire, Deja Vu, and now this.
-
I saw it about a week ago.
-
I never saw the theatrical cut, but I've had the Blu-Ray version of the Director's Cut for a while now and that movie is nothing short of amazing. I can't wait to see this even though Crowe's attempt at an American accent is inevitably going to be horrible.
-
Most of his films will only be available on it due to him working with Fox frequently. Black Hawk Down and Kingdom of Heaven are available on BD exclusively and both look and sound great.
-
Not italian gangster... Everyone's point of view... Even the movie logo resembles the Departed's...
Too much. -
I was over at the mixing stage for this film a few days ago and heard a lot of hip hop tracks playing behind the film, so you can expect to hear that stuff in the actual movie.
-
you are aware the departed is a remake of another movie?
-
It's got my money. Do you think Denzel took any pre-madonna shit from Crowe on set?
-
A state of arousal caused by watching a movie trailer that reminds one of Heat, Scarface and Malcolm X all rolled into one.
"Dude I got the biggest TeleChubby watching that trailer." -
Denzel was a bad guy, and for the first time at that...he won an Oscar. I think Crowe is best actor but I think Denzel has he better role and i agree with one of the talkbackers above..DEPARTED 2007
-
That thinks Denzel Washington is really overrated?
-
That trailer was better than Pirates, Spidey 3 & Shrek combined!
-
i can't believe so many people liked it! It just tried too hard and so the acting, script and music suffered. Denzel is always badass and Crowe is stellar but i'm imagining what this film would have been like if DAVID MAMET was the director.......
-
sorry, I wanted to talk about the trailer, but some jackoff above called Steven Soderbergh a hack....I am still laughing....that's some good shit. people will say anything for attention...
-
and yes Departed sucked ass.
-
... this is going to kick arse! Can not wait!
-
Scott...I'm there!Yack, A Good Year, while predictable, wasn't that bad. Plus, I'm a sucker for any movie that takes place in Europe. Man, I miss Europe...
-
I just saw it on a flight. I was entertained. Shot well. Looked great. The dirt in the pool scene was well done. Kind of cliched, but it didn't turn out EXACTLY like I thought it would.

I agree... looks like the black man's Departed. Awesome
by xxmr_bojanglesxx
The cast looks great, Ridley Scott directing. Forget about race... it's all about two philosophies, which ironically America is both based on and founded by, clashing it out once again on the big screen. Just like The Departed, Scarface, Godfather and Goodfellas, etc. I've just never seen a GOOD black mob film before. Hopefully this'll be the first. Now i'm getting too deep for talkbacks. I'll get outta here and let whiney computer nerds take it from here. Goodbye.
-
sense of the word. And the scene where Russel walks with guys trough the park looks bad. The trees have a cheap feel. Also, seems like more propaganda delivered by Scott. And with a lame title. Very dissapointed in him, not to even speak of the fear I feel for my man Robin Hood.
-
Me and my 7,000 MySpace friends are strangely underwhelmed by this one. Love Ridley Scott flicks, but I'm having a hard time getting excited about this. Ah, well...Maybe it'll grow on me after a few more viewings, but until then I think I'll go watch THE DEPAHTED instead...
-
i think even the dude from 'hustle' could smoke denzel if they were all locked in a room together with a lead pipe and a slice of linzer torte. not to say denzel is overrated but he has now been in a long slow groove of playing 'guy with gun wronged somehow'. booring. i'm def. interested in this but not jazzed the way i was for departed, which is probably just because ridley scott's more laid-back style than scorsese.
-
What? The crime has it's ups and downs? Nothing that we haven't seen a million other crime flicks before, but eh scope and caliber of this project is keeping my interest.
-
is my favorite Denzel movie. That movie is totaly cool. And he too.
-
for a guy who essentially plays the same role in every film, just flip good guy for bad guy. I think he's fallen into the Tom Cruise world of playing himself in every role. He's still enjoyable to watch though, even if you never forget your watching Denzel Washington. For my money, I think Jamie Fox is a better actor with more range if you're looking for a black leading man.
-
Harry Knowles....HD expert
-
Jamie Foxx > Denzel??? You must be smoking that good Cali herb. Not in a million years.
-
Equals a damn good movie. This won't be Viruosity II. That trailer looked pretty damn good. The best part to me was that it looks like they didn't water Denzel's character down like I thought they would. Looks like a good crime flick and I love good crime movies.
-
ha ha ha ahah aaha ha haahah aha ah.man....good stuff...have you ever seen "sex, lies and videotape?" no filters there, jsut amazing writing and direction. it sort of, you know, won a bunch of awards? pal d'or at cannes, bafta, golden globe...universal praise from virtually every critic? THE FUCKER EVEN HAS A GRAMMY! Schizopolis, Out of Sight, Solaris? Bubble, the man is the most versatile director out there. he champions interesting projects, he promotes alternative means of distribution than major studios/production companies, some of the best soundtrack work in ages, he's multi-talented, he has almost zero hollywood bullshit (full frontal, for example, he got dozens of big stars to appear for next to nothing, and without even trailers etc. all by his example).for american directors, he is the closest thing we have to the maverick european directors of the 60's.it is beyond ridiculous to call him a hack. and I Stand by my statement that I think you're just itching for some attention. I've seen you talkback before and I can't believe you're that slow. at least you didn't before.
-
I meant...
-
Let me guess... somebody whispered "Black Scarface" into Diddley's ear and he shit his pants. If I was a dumbass rapper I'd be dying to see this.
-
I hate rap with the fury of a thousand suns. And I can't wait to see this. BTW, the 1980 version of Scarface is highly overrated. Overlong, pointless and repetitive. Carlito's Way was a MUCH better movie.
-
virtuosity was kind of a dumb movie
-
yeah inside man was a pretty cool movie..i liked the Score w/r.deniro. and the Heist..the chick that plays gene hackmans double crossing girlfriend should do porn cause shes so fucking hot.
on a side note.. i just watched seraphim falls and was surprised at how good it is. a cool western/chase movie with pierce brosnan and liam neeson. Darkman -vs- James bond!! -
It was in Telecine at Fotokem, and I saw them working on it. You all are lame because you didn't see it before me. I however, am lame because I didn't see it before the online editor, who, in turn, is lame because he didn't see it before the offline editor. Guess what? The offline editor is lame because he didn't shoot the footage. Luckily, I just thought of a cool movie. I'm seeing it right now in my head, and none of you other fucktards can see it yet. This make you all Teh Ghey.
/I hate every single last one of you horrid sacks of shit. -
Ganster flick + 2 of the greatest actors of all time + great direction = I'm there. It's got to be good right?
-
Meandered through this whole tedious talkback, and the only thing that made it worthwhile was Deus Vults comment "people will remember the post ww2 era as the pax americana for a reason" holy shit I sprayed Monster drink out my nose I was laughing so hard, jesus, thank you for that.
-
'Tru-Blu' was the original name while the film was in production and that's what is stamped on these Heroin Packets for sale on EBay. Just go to Movie memorabilia section...
