Coen's NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN trailer hits... VARIETY!
Hey folks, Harry here... Paramount Vantage has... in its clutches what will most likely be one of the best movies we'll see all year. Everyone that I've spoke to that saw it at Cannes felt the jury was experiencing a rectal cranial inversian, by not naming it the film of the fest. But hey, these things happen. Here's the trailer... Variety is who is giving it to the world!

Love Javier Bardem!!!!
-
First. Can't wait to see it
-
first
-
Coen Brothers rock. But yeah, that's stating the obvious.
-
muahahahahahaa
-
Meh...
-
Sort of Blood Simple-ish kind of maybe.
-
enough of this high camp coen nonsense, lady killers and FUCCCCKING intolerable cruelty. take us back to miller's crossing fellas... hats off.
-
they will never top The Man Who Wasn't There and it looks like they know it. sorry lebowski fans. i love that movie too but there is just something about MWWT where all the pieces come together and you have the feeling they knew they were gonna.. whereas with lebowski it's like, shit look at that: this mess we made is actually awesome.
-
This appears to be different from the video posted earlier -- the old video had more to do with the scene in the store where he's telling the guy to call the coin toss.
Just started reading the book last night. Tired as hell but plowed through almost 50-pages until I couldn't keep my eyes open. From the trailer it looks like the Coen Bros. stayed close to the book (recognized several lines of dialog word-for-word, for example) unlike a few recent disappointments. The Good German and The Black Dahlia come to mind as major recent fuck-ups of great original source material. Both were excellent books that the filmmakers decided to pretty much completely rewrite for the film.
Go Coen Bros! Great writers recognize great writing when they see it... -
It's good to see them getting mean and nasty again.
-
This movie looks fucking awesome! I never expected to Coens to go as dark as this again. Damn, I can't wait!
-
This films is incredible. I saw it last month. Read my review here: http://www.aintitcool.com/node/32667 It's just so great to see the Coens at the top of their game, while also making a film that is unlike anything they've made before. It's similar to Blood Simple and Fargo, but it's so much more than that. Great trailer, but it doesn't even begin to touch upon how amazing this film is.
-
This looks so good.
-
thank you god for the coen brothers
-
they arent that good
-
Wait.... wrong movie.
-
Damn you, Two-Face!!!
-
This does look pretty darn good. Although, this trailer felt like it was showing way too much. Yet I would definitely like to see NCFOM be a return to form for the brothers Coen.Fun facts: NCFOM stars Tommy Lee Jones who happened to own the rights to BLOOD MERIDIAN (by CM) which is to be made by Sir Ridley Scott for a 2009 release. McCarthy's other masterpiece, THE ROAD, is to be directed by John Hillcoat - the man who directed the very BLOOD MERIDIAN-like THE PROPOSITION.
-
No redneck Nic Cage? No double takes from George Clooney? Wasn't the Man who wasn't there a comedy too? When was the last all-serious Coen bros film?
-
Because he was afraid that in the post-apocalyptic world of The Road that Blu-Ray didn't play old DVDs.
-
It's squeezed. Wtf is wrong with people?
-
It was sheer pain. I kept hoping it would be like one of those novels you have to read in school that is boring, but ultimately meaningful in the end. That movie was just plain empty, though. But yeah, the Coen Bros. have been synonymous with offbeat comedy for a long time.
-
...IN PERIOD COSTUME?
-
any better than those fucking guys! The Coens are masters! Top-shelf. I'd pay to see them do anything! And for me, that's a rarity. ONly other director more than likely would be PTA i could say that about.
-
I need some whiskey and a bootleg of this mutha now!
-
"Heavens to Besty, Birdie!" And yeah, this looks like a weird cross of Blood Simple and Miller's. Frankly, I got a little flash of the Biker-from-Hell-beating-the-crap-out-of-H.I scene as well. This to me is where the Coens are at their best: the only time they succeeded with outright silliness was Hudsucker Proxy. Ladykillers was OK at best, and Intolerable Cruelty was just, well, intolerable. Balancing humor and horror, violence and tenderness...that's where these guys belong.
-
If we should stay off the Coen's dick's as so elegantly stated above, then whom's dicks should we be staying on?
-
heads or tails?
-
but to each his own. that scene with him walking in the opposite direction of all those guys wearing hats, him the bald barber, that sad, chill classical piano that made me realize that adjectives like "sad, chill" could apply to classical music in the background-- you gotta admit that is pretty classic.
-
...the super Coen bros make GREAT films. But something about this trailer exerts the same "eh" as every other Tommy Lee Jones flick. I hope I am wrong.
-
that the mobsters in Miller's Crossing would shit their pants if Anton Chigurh was anywhere near them. He is not so evil he's cool, he is evil. The only character created in the past 15 years that measures up to Anton happens to be on the other side of the law, good ol' Marge Gunderson.
-
...to be in one of these pictures! Everything about the brothers are amazing. Hell, i'd watch them direct somebody taking a dump. In short, they blow my hair back when it comes to this sort of shit. I remember going to see Oh Brother... baked as can be in Okla City and not knowing what to expect of the film. Needless to say, I laughed my ass from reel one to the last reel.
-
Looks like classic Blood-Simple Coen. Let the fun begin.
-
Intolerable Cruelty was NOT a Coen movie. THERE I SAID IT.
-
gosh.
-
I saw it once.
-
This is back to the true gritty style that the Coens are best at. A lot of times their humor seems forced to me, but they can direct the subtle, twisted stories so well. They can make the most boring, inane chores an hour of entertainment. Bravo.
-
Yes this trailer does what it should makes me want to watch the film, but i can't help the ball of anger growing inside me because i just aint got a clue what the fuck the story is about. Yes ive seen a guy flipping a coin and woody saying he is badass and some money. yet i aint routing for nobody so there is no need to see this movie.
-
I wonder if they are going to keep the ending of the book. It's pretty desolate.
-
any movie coming out this summer. Can't wait. And to the person complaining the trailer didn't show enough, I truly hope you're kidding. If not, I hope you get punched once for every time a trailer has given away an entire film.
-
Looks like the Coens have another winner on their hands.
-
The movie is about Brolin finding a case of money. Bardem looking for him to kill him, Harrelson looking for him to get his money back, and Jones looking for him to help him.
-
But it would have to be surgically removed. That is my demand.
-
Its late so the volumes down and couldn't hear the dialogue, but it seemed very Red Rock West like from appearances. That's a positive reference by the way, not a slight.If you've ever driven through Nevada, Texas, ect, those desolate highways with random closed looking bars every 30miles really make you wonder what shit is going down in the desert. Definetly ideal areas to place the modern noir.
Saw some other folks mentioned this is based on a book. Which one/By whom? -
Ummm
The book is No Country for Old Men and it's written by Cormac McCarthy. That's why his name is in the trailer. -
Can't wait to see this! I just hope that trailer wasn't the spoiler-fest it looked like, though.
-
Was starting to think The Coens had lost the plot but this looks like a Blood Simple style return to darker days. Bring it on!
-
wold have been greater in 16:9...which I'm assuming they shot at...unless everyone in this film is 6'4" and 130...
-
This movie looks awesome.
-
Ha! You know, the thing about the Coens is that they are ALWAYS in form, (all you Intolerable Cruelty haters just explain how the scene with Wheezy Joe doesn't SCREAM Joel and Ethan), but this is the first time they seem to be going back to Blood Simple or Fargo for quite a while. Looks amazing, and has what will soon be my favorite trailer line, from Woody Harrelson. "Dangerous? Compared to what? ... ... The Bubonic Plague?"
-
If he's punched once for every time a trailer has given away an entire film, he'd be punched 478 million times, approximately. God I hate that shit. I just saw a "I now Pronounce you Chuck and Larry" trailer, and I don't have to watch the film now.
This looks absolutely amazing though. Great trailer. -
Nice!! Call it!
-
I just finished the book, and while I liked it, I thought the ending meandered abit. I'm assuming the Coen's will structure it differently, as it felt abit anticlimactic.
-
Fuck Transformers. Fuck Pirates. Fuck Shrek. Fuck Spiderman. Fuck every other goddamn movie( except Knocked up) that's coming out this summer. This looks cool as shit.
-
...will the rest of the goonies be in it?
-
I never tire of Tommy Lee Jones in those sheriff roles.
-
The trailer is very good about handling the details of the film. I've read the book, and everything in the trailer happens in the first half. I caught maybe one scene that happens in the second half. Let me reiterate...all of the kickassery will happen in the first half. As for the fellow who says, "I don't know what's going on or who to route for." That's the point. 1. We don't route for anyone (save for the sheriff) cos everyone's bad. 2. Some people can't figure the trailer out, others think it's spoilerific. That amuses me. This movie will rule you. However, I see more Raising Arizona and Fargo in here than I do any of the other Coen films. "Do these b'loons blow up into funny shapes n'all?"

ROOT = to noisily applaud or encourage a contestant or team; to wish the success of or lend support to someone or something. Syn: CHEER
ROUTE = a traveled way; a means of access; a line of travel : COURSE; an established or selected course of travel or action -
That looks fantastic! Go read the book you guys. The tone of the trailer hits dead on. Can't wait for this one.
-
I noticed one person who had read the book noted that the end meandered a little bit, which I felt was one of the problems of the film that stopped me from leaving the theater fully satisfied(I haven't actually read the book though, so I can't directly compare them).
Nonetheless, I would still reccomend this flick simply because I thought the first 3/4 or so were fucking AMAZING. Even though this wasn't a completely successful film for the Coens, I still think that their failures soar above the successes of many other filmmakers. -
...some superheroes, inane dialogue and an origin arc. Oh and some lame CGI. And a dance number smack in the middle of the story for no reason. After all, Hollywood still thinks most moviegoers are children, right? This film is in serious danger of actually having characters, great dialogue and the possibility of its audience actually giving a hoot what happens next and relating to it. Y'know, those things CGI just can't do? Thank god for the Coens. Unlike QT, at least they still make movies with some integrity, instead of photocopying the same script time and again.
-
Coen influence in Intolerable Cruelty is obvious. It has a small collection of truly beautiful Coen moments. But then from left field there's the fart jokes/all manner of retarded humor ("butt fat", seriously, as if one of the Coens wrote that line), and you realize the Coens and Matt Stone mix about as well as oil and water.
-
So it seems the Coens were as faithful to the ending of the book as they seem to be in the trailers and scenes I've seen, which are all dead spot on. I agree, 3/4 of the book was also amazing, which seems to hold true for the flick as well. Plus, Chigurh (Sugar?) IS the ultimate badass.
-
Oh no. I typo'd on an AICN message board. Allow me to go revaluate my life. Thank you so much for showing me the error of my ways (even though this is something I already know...yet continue to do absently).
-
-- met a grammar nazi before? They honestly, seriously can't help it. You could put a gun to their head, warn them not to speak, and pronounce nuclear "nucular", and you'd have to kill them.
