One of the Highlights of BNAT 9 Has Its Trailer Unleashed: MONGOL!!!
Hey folks, Harry here... This is one helluva great film. You don't need me to tell you that - obviously if its one of the 5 nominees for Best Foreign Film - but when it played at BNAT 9 - nobody in the audience knew that. What played out was one of the most intimate tales of an epic life we've seen. The story of Genghis Khan as told here is far more amazing than the basic tales of him being a Barbarian Leader - that's here - but the story of how he came to be, what he came from, the world of that period of Mongolia. It's just a stunning film. Then there's the woman in his life - and that story is just stunning. In a very odd way - this is a Valentine's Day film. It is heart-achingly romantic... a love spanning from childhood to ... well you know where Genghis Khan goes. This story is about how Mongolia ceased to be a series of tribes... and became an empire. The story is epic - but this is just the beginning. To the point where he became the one true Khan. And it is genius. A truly epic romantic adventure! Here's the trailer...

Armies fighting each other.

They moved it. It's in the main white block.
-
it's right there on the front page - I moved it from the top story spot - because - frankly - the chance that Ratner is going to get the job is basically done. Now there's far better directors in the mix - and chasing the project enthusiastically. The threat of Ratner was incredibly real - and was very close to being irreversible. That time has passed. Can't reveal the details quite yet. But there's no need for the story to be a "top" story.

I liked the part where the kid or girl whatever fell through the ice.
-
I'm sorry but it sounded like a Discovery Channel special. and the it didn't really show much to get me excited. It doesn't really matter though, since I'm sure it'll be DTV since most indie films get that shoddy treatment. So I guess I'll be seeing it on DVD. I may give it a chance then.
-
Someone you don't like directing a movie is not a threat.
-
I had to do it.
-
if you loved the source material, the script and the direction the movie was headed in... and a terrible director is considered... that director is a threat to what could be a wonderful film. It matters - who shoots these films. It isn't about just throwing anyone into that seat. This is a really great project and Benicio and Anthony and Rick Baker deserve a better creative partner than a hack.
-
Are any of the directors in the running good enough to bring us a "chocolate covered pussy juice" quality film?
-
Mongol is the one new film that I keep thinking about almost two months since then. Very beautiful and powerful movie.
-
Note to self: Must visit pony show next opportunity I get.
-
Sweeeet. Am salivating in anticipation. :-)
-
...in the Thunderdome. Two men enter. One man leaves.
-
The Mad Mongol. I used to manage him in the early 80s. Had a great chest slap and killer leg drop. He was a little slow in the ring though. Dumb as bunch of rocks, and smelled like a wet goat.
-
just kidding.
-
Is anyone else tired of these foreign films having U.S. trailers with nothing but the trailer voice guy talking, as if they want to hide the fact that it's in subtitles. It's fucking annoying that so many people won't see a brilliant subtitled film just cause they dont wanna read. Still, I cant wait to see this movie
-
when can we expect the apology from Mirajeff?
-
I loved this film!! Thanks so much for putting it in the BNAT lineup, Harry. I've been talking up this film to lots of friends for the past 7 weeks!!
-
...is terrible.
-
... even though I couldn't understand a word of it. It showed a lot more and had some semblance of narrative. This international trailer is pretty ridiculous. the first 5 shots are of the 2 armies marching, back and forth between them, even though they're clearly not even fighting each other - they seem to be in different climates. I don't mind some english narration but if they just added a few lines of subtitled dialogue, for instance maybe scenes from his childhood, it would have been infinitely better. The bit where they randomly pronounce "Genghis Khan" is hilarious... yay 5 non-descript guys on horseback. And the literal visualisation of the narrative "to some he was a leader " -insert shot of sword held in air. "to some a god" - insert shot of people bowing. BAH! boring and lazy work. If I hadn't heard all thsi hype I wouldn't have even bothered with this film.
-
...Hero, Night Watch and now Mongol get Oscar noms up to 2 years before they even get a proper theatrical release in the US. their qualification rules are ridiculous.
-
Isn't this the film that Kazhkastan made to dispel all the crazy stories that Borat told about the country? To show that they had more than one working camera in their country?
-
About on par with the trailer for the direct-to-video THE DUKES OF HAZARD: THE BEGINNING or whatever the fuck it was called.
-
Crouching Tiger Hidden Mongol?
-
...the whole Ratner thing. The Lon Chaney film was one of my first favorites as a young kid, and Ratner's film would have been an abortion. Fuck the backlash-backlash, you did an awesome fucking thing by having the balls to stand up for film fans/geeks rights in this case, straight up.
-
looks quite "epic", "grand" and all that
-
...there's a director out there who could actually get The Iliad right. Can't wait for the second one...
-
that they sort of skipped over Temujin's murder of his half brother to consolidate his familial power?
-
I'm so there on opening day.
-
It bored me to tears.
-
Oh, I'm sure its a wonderful movie, but I'm also pretty sure its 99% total fiction (The 1% being that Genghis Khan actually existed). This is not to single out this film, most "historic" films are mostly BS. Besides film, my other passion is history, and the factual mess they make out of most of these films really ruins alot of them for me.
-
Is BNAT really the top story these days? So many other sites beat you to 'breaking stories.' It's like you're re-posting Variety articles. Wow. Ain't It Cool. No, it's not.
-
Looks great. Except the title which makes me think about the special olympics and kinda ruins the mood.
-
Does Genghis have vagine like sleeve of wizard?
-
You've read it here first!
-
Fascinated by the Khan dynasty, the Mongol Empire was truly one of the most expansive and inpite of common misconception quite civilised. Looking forward to seeing this, looks like an intelligent and classy looking production
-
The 'trailer guy' voiceover thing really jars. I can't listen to those voiceovers in quite the same way since the Comedian trailer!
-
Ratner's hate for Harry. Probably. Maybe. If allegations are true and if Harry (and AICN) outrage over the news put other directors in the running....Brett baby just lost out on a job. Thats a lot of negative energy coming back at ya Harry. Careful. And whats this about Yoko being with child?? Is this true???
-
But that fetish Hollywood had with period movies a few years back really killed my taste for the genre. It got to the stage where only every forth or fifth one was half-decent and I just got sick of them altogether. However, I would love to see a version of Vlad The Impaler. His story is basically where Bram Stoker got the idea for Dracula. Some of the shit he did was fucking cool. Eg. He slaughtered half of his own men to intimidate the enemy. I'd like to see that on a big screen.
-
Because of his sytem of meritocracy. The pillaging...uhhh not so good. But still, meritocracy, yay.
-
That trailer was friggin awesome, especially the whole sand falling off the sword effect. Period pieces are wonderful things when done right, like any other genre.
-
Cheesy american voice-over makes it look like this movie belongs on the history channel. Why are studios so afraid to show the characters speaking a foreign language in the trailer? From what everyone who saw this at BNAT said I was kind of excited for this, but that trailer did absolutley nothing for me.
-
I don't know if it's a good movie, but that trailer really did suck. Besides the terrible voice over, I think the worst part is when they show the guy standing on the ice and it breaks and he falls in. I mean, what was the point of putting that in the trailer. If it was part of a montage of other stuff it would have been fine.
-
RRatner i mean, I remember something going astray with you guys but still sooo much venom!
-
but it's a bad movie ... don't say I didn't warn you ... http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0337744/
