Not In The Mood For A Beautiful Trailer? Try A Really Badass One For 3:10 TO YUMA!
Hey, everyone. ”Moriarty” here.
Okay, now this is the way you cut a trailer, folks. Lots of tease here, and I have a feeling there’s still a whole bunch we don’t know about the way James Mangold is going to let this one play out.
The premise, if you don’t know, is that there’s a very bad man (Russell Crowe) who needs to be transported to where he can catch a train that will take him to be prosecuted for his crimes. It being the Old West and all, his boys are determined not to let that happen, and only a very good man (Christian Bale) is willing to stand up and make sure Crowe gets to that train. Very simple, very stark. And it looks like Mangold has really stepped up.
Thanks to adamkesher in our chat room, who popped in this afternoon with the link to the trailer:

We need a western. Any western.
-
YOU ALL KNOW CHRISTIAN BALE DESERVES HIS OWN CATCH PHRASE AROUND HERE!!! BALE DAMMIT!!!
-
That was a pretty cool trailer. Bale is fucking awesome in about anything he does.
-
You can't replace Glenn Ford. And Christian Bale is WAAAAYYYY too young to stand in for Van Heflin. And shooting in color kills the noir atmosphere that made the original so interesting. Expanding the story to involve extra characters and overstating character motivations through needless added dialog weakens the tense nature of the original. I'll pass.

Have any of you heard about the Dub Taylor documentary? His son Matt did stunt doubles for 3:10. http://www.thatdub.com/
-
jesus christ...this looks amazing...and from an IM, no less...aint it cool news indeed...
-
come ON brother...the original wasn't citizen kane...and even so, you got russell crose and Christian bale, for christ sake...let's not complain just for the sake...
-
its been ages
-
it was worth waiting for. who says we dont have any major classy actors anymore? just that most of them these days aint american...
-
oh yes. ranma, youre right, those two are good quasi-westerns. but this is the real thing.
-
I love your enthusiasm, but those 2 were not "westerns" in the traditional sense of the word. here's the wiki word on it...not saying that's the LAST word, but just so you know what I mean...3:10 to Yuma certainly fits these criteria:"Westerns are usually set in the Western United States during the period from about 1860 to the end of the so-called "Indian Wars" at Wounded Knee in 1890. Some westerns incorporate the American Civil War. The genre has expanded its focus to include films about the Battle of the Alamo in 1836; and the Mexican Revolution as late as 1920. Additionally, the Western genre has been adapted to the historical and mythological circumstances of other countries, including Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Russia and even fictional space colonies.
An important characteristic of Westerns is the portrayal of modes of existence perceived as primitive and obsolete giving way to modern counterparts, usually through a symbolic confrontation between characters. In the early stages of the Western continuity, this manifests as a conflict between natives and settlers or cavalry. In later stages, ranchers, settlers and gunslingers may be threatened by the onset of the Industrial Revolution, the pressures exerted by big business, and the centralization of political power in urban centers. Whatever stage of history the Western is representing, the thrust is consistently towards the subordination of nature, the domination of collective over individual values, and the emergence of the modern state." -
in the case of this film...the idea of justice...sacrifice of the individual for the common good, etc. etc.man, I am a little drunk...just got a great career notice, and I'm celebrating in LA even though I know no one and have no social livfe. so I jsut made $10,000, and I'm as happy as can be, and the only people I have to share it with are some champagne and AICN. that's didnt' even make sense.at least I'm still getting the paragrahps right.
-
CONGRATS BRO...! How about we buy you a beer, and you can cheet on my wife!
-
they sure whisper alot in the old western
-
Is that Ben Foster?
-
But Kingink123 is right: Glenn Ford was one cool motherfucker in the original. I'm not sure Russell has enough of the wicked gleam in his eye. Also, I suggest anyone who wants to feel some real suspense not see the original first because it's definitely going to end with the same "twist".
-
That would be Alan Tudyk. Looks good to me. Remake? I care not when it comes to Westerns, I'm in. And western or not, The Proposition was tight. I mean it, that film was top drawer.
-
That is him, right? The guy with the beard wrecking shop in the town? Or is that Ben Foster? Help guys.
-
Boy does that look good! Christian Bale is on a fucking role right now... He's picking good films and seems to be pushing himself as an actor... I like it!
-
on that train. I like the look and feel of this remake.
-
for sure...look it up on IMDBKNIGHT, you can buy me a beer anytime, brother...I'm celebrating because a script I wrote just got bought. my agent tells me (and I swear I believe it) that it will probably never see the light of day, or the light of cinema, but I DON'T CARE!!!I'm getting 50 grand because someoen thought my scrreenplay MIGHT someday make a good movie!and I get to shoot a decent movie in mexico next month...life is good...
-
sorry, I'm a sucker.
-
http://tinyurl.com/yv6gza If you pause the trailer when Bale is walking out of the building, Alan Tudyk is waking behind with eyeglasses looking rather daper and like his Doc character. Sorry I jumped the gun. BadMrWonka - Congrats man. I mean that. I'd buy you a shot and a brew. I don't even know you, but I'm friendly like that.
-
not waking. Surprised I didn't type wanking....
-
Nothing else to say but congrats! Always good to hear some folks are making it.
Keep up the good life! -
YEEEEE HAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!
-
trust me, the good life is a ways off...I love movies, and as much as I hate hollyood, I love it just as much...as horibble as it sounds, I think of hollywwood as a gros uncle that molests me...but gives me an orgasm every time...I've ben wriuting and directing shorts, trying to get something noticeds, and nothing has worked. but thids script, written in between other ventures that I thought were more important, seems to have latched on...so we'll see how it turns out.bottom line...my apartment is tiny, and studio-ish, and costs 700 bucks a month. LA sucks. if something comes from this, great...but I'm not holding my disenfranchised breath...
-
Yea, to hell what your agent says! You'd think they'd be more positive for that 10% he or she is getting! Just don't begin to snort coke off hookers asses like AICN's favorite director! I don't even have to mention the his name!
-
Nuff said.
-
people liked Henri...lol sort of...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0M7ibPk37_U
-
nice
-
I'll still see it.
-
WAY too much sturm and drang and wasted dialogue, just keep it quick, gives us the tease -- machismo, guns, big shootout, boom, we're out. Remember the Unforgiven trailer? Short, to the point, ends with "You just shot an unarmed man." "He should have armed himself." And that was it. Clint, Hackman, old west, bad-ass, showdown, done. Too much here, I say, too much, I'm bored. Outtie.
-
I love it.
-
First off, badass trailer indeed.
Secondly, I think people should recognize the great author of the short story this film is based on. the one and only Elmore Leonard. He's written the novels that have been the basis for a lot of great movies.
The Big Bounce, Be Cool...umm actually scratch that...make it:
Get shorty, Out of Sight, Jackie Brown, Hombre and of course, the original 3:10 to Yuma. The guys' a hell of a writer. -
This movie does look badass. And I've been wanting to see the original since before I knew this one was coming out. I hadn't realized it was based on the work of Elmore Leonard. But yeah, I don't think there have been many good westerns lately. It's too late for me to think clearly right now, but I can't remember a good western since Unforgiven...I guess there's an argument for Tombstone, but that's about it.
-
His 2 scenes are brilliant.
-
Looks like my kind of movie, but it seems to reveal way too much in the trailer (even if this is a remake). A preview should not be a short movie.
-
...and Ben Foster is unbelievable. I'm seeing this. (Plus of course Crowe and Bale :-) ) It's just a shame that Tudyk is again playing a goody-two-shoes, I'd have liked to have seen him go all bad apple. I'm sure one day when he does, it's gonna be awesome.
-
...If Bale and Crowe swapped roles.
-
Thank you
-
This looks a lot like the old High Noon premise except in reverse. Instead of waiting for the bad guys to come in on a train, he's escorting the bad guy. Only one man will stand up for what's right. Looks like a lot of fun. I'm in.
-
though I laughed at Bale's first line, done in a total Eastwood Voice.
-
You realize this is a remake of a movie from 1957? I think it's safe to say S.W.A.T. lifted their story from that.
-
i have a feeling you may be right... but remember how effective Henry Fonda was playing against type in Once Upon A Time In The West. He made a fucking terrifying villain. But the footage of Crowe in this trailer makes him seem like more of a charming rogue. Hope he does something in the picture that makes you hate, hate, hate him.
-
...but that looks funking sweet, really funking sweet! (Sorry, I just got my Hot Fuzz DVD).
-
I am a huge fan of Westerns from High Noon to Sergio Leone and the "Man w/ no name" Westerns. I have been really hoping for a legit western. Granted I loved Unforgiven, Open Range and Tombstone, and TV's Deadwood... I was really lookin for something more.... If the movie looks like thr Trailer.... THIS IS GONNA BE FUCKING AWESOME. Great casting of Crowe and Bale... especially Ben Foster who looks fuckin nuts with the pistols.
-
Gez, this guy has so much cool he looks Crowe look like a schoolgirl!
Looks like a good match too, but Bale will definately steal the light from Crowe. -
good idea Vicenzo.
-
Too dusty. Too brown. But the trailer borrows some of the Man on Fire score, so someone's making good choices. I just don't know if great actors can make up for all the things I hate about the Western genre. It's not the reliance on formula and cliche`s, really. I love all the trappings of the heist movie genre.
-
Need I say more? Of course, limpl0uie already said 'em, but they bear repeating. This flick is looking to quickly join Tombstone, Open Range, Unforgiven, Magnificent Seven, and The Searchers on my greatest Western DVDs shelf! Shit, this things got me as pumped as ANYTHING this summer!
-
I'd pay to see that show. Two of my favorite genre's. Anyways this looks awesome. Crowe knows what he's doing and Bale is awesome. With lines like "As sure as God's vengance they're coming" damn right.
-
MORE BADASS GUNFIGHTING? I'm fucking there. The Proposition was good and all, and those cowboys taking it up the ass got people hot and bothered, but I want another good exciting balls to the wall western! This looks to be it!
-
the guys a ledge! Harsh Times and The Prestige were made awesome by the power of Bale Skull.
-
I am not shitting you either, it was in Brompton Ralph (a tiny hamlet in Somerset) and his dad worked with my friend's dad. It was either '88 or'89 and he had not long done Empire Of The Sun. I really thought he was cool, not because he'd been in a movie, but because he was just cool, plain and simple. If I ever meet him again (unlikely as it is) I will ask him if he remembers shooting BB guns at rabbits with a couple of little shits!! Tryst me, he'll go down as one of the greatest of all time. He hasn't used the same accent twice as yet (untill the Dark Knight of course).
-
I thought I was gonna get lynched for that statement! As much as I dislike Westerns, I LOVE Tony Scott movies (even Domino).
-
Anyone notice Alan Tudyk? Looks like he has some acting chops.
-
I wasn't thrilled when I first heard they were going to remake this classic. Glenn Ford and Van Heflin are great in the original. However, I'm really looking forward to the new film now that I've seen the cast and the new trailer.
-
That's Great news. I wish you and the project well. Good luck, bro.
-
YOOU WANNA FIGHT? I LIKE PRETEDEN TO BE AMERICAN, I FIGHT REAL GOOD. to bad about my shitty acting.
-
Was the greatest Western of all time.
-
Now a Red Dead Revolver trilogy please.
-
Cameron Diaz as Annie and Jason Isaacs as Jack Swift, please. C'mon, otherwise it'll be Prince of Persia all over the place next couple of years.
-
This looks damn great. Christian Bale and Russell Crowe = Gold. Also for that matter, Russell Crowe and Denzel Washington in American Gangster = Oscar Gold. :P
-
and distill him into an essence and then drink it, puke it up and then drink it again. does that make me a fucked up kinda girl? and when is he gonna get 'academy award winner' in front of his title card? it always feels like unfair play when great actors don't have the flair on their card next to the dudes who do in the same film. i mean, jesus, ben affleck gets to have 'academy award winner' on his.
-
big ups to you! remember us all as mere rungs on your climb up the ladder of fame.
-
In fact I'd enjoy it if you and Harry meet me down there tomorrow at noon for a gun fight. Harry will know the way down 35 from Austin...
-
Usually I'm opposed to remakes, but I think this one will be appropriate. The original was decent, but I kept feeling they could push it further, but played it safe. Definetly a lot of room to explore in the story. Hopefully something like this will expose the young'uns to a western as its a solid genre that has been forgotten and cliched.
-
This genre is ripe for rediscovery by some of the exciting young filmmakers working today. I'd like to see Mira Nair and Darren Aronofsky each do one. And Edgar Wright for shits and giggles.
-
Oh man, there is GOD after all! Mr. Mangold, come here and lemme give u some big smooches! WOOOHOOO!! The trailer is AWESOME!! Crowe + Bale = INFERNO. Super HOT!! Crowe looks deliciously BAAAADD, baby! Can't wait to see the scene of him with that bar girl. Yummy!! And Bale is so damn sexy. Yeeaahh!! I'm so into this movie. Do I have to wait till October??! Damn!!
-
Edgar Wright already did a Western (or rather a South-Western) comedy called "A Fistful Of Fingers". It is available on VHS but is hard to get hold of.
-
I liked the look and feel of it. Looks brutal and uncompromising, with some great actors, so hell, I'm there. After the performances Mangold pulled out of Reese Witherspoon and Joaquin Phoenix in "Walk the Line", I'm excited to see what he pulls out of far more accomplished actors like Christian Bale and Russell Crowe. Should be intense.
-
Nuff said!!
-
And this does seem to look like it's going to be a bit different, but that's a good thing. Good trailer, only thing is Bale does seem a bit too young to play his part... & Congrats to Wonka, mind telling us what the premise of the script is?
-
It may not turn out to be one of the greatest westerns ever, but it looks like it will be pretty damn good. We have a ways to go still till we get westerns as good as The Wild Bunch, Red Sun, Jeremiah Johnson, etc.
-
usually, the key historical figures were all fairly young. So even though you might strive for authenticity, by casting actors of Bale's age you're actually going against history. War movies especially...many of the actors are in their late 20s early 30s yet most soldiers are much younger.

Remakes SUCK!!!
