The FROST/NIXON Trailer That Snuck Onto The Internets Last Week Is Now Here In (Officially Sanctioned) Glorious QuickTime!!
Merrick here...
Late last week, we got a glimpse of Ron Howard's FROST/NIXON via an embed of the film's international trailer. More about the trailer, and the Talkbacks that accompanied it, can be found HERE.
A domestic version of the film's trailer is now online over at Yahoo. It can be seen via streaming video as well as many forms of Glorious Quicktime (including HD). I haven't fully compared this version to last week's "international" trailer - but from what I've watched, they look quite similar...if not identical. And, of course, these are of considerably higher quality than last week's embeds.
See the Yahoo material...

Why?
-
But it looks neat. Isn't it also a play?
-
because I care just about as much at this point.
-
Strong cast and a decent premise. Could be well worth a rental.
-
Holy shit, looks amazing
-
Sadly, I remember the original broadcast. Yes, I'm old.
-
I will catch this sooner or later
-
He seems to be trying too hard.
-
it did. it was on HBO, it was seven hours long, it it was fantastic.
-
Love the guy, but the problem with his performance from what I just saw was his eyes and his breathing. He's still running on Starting Out in the Evening mode. Nixon was very much in his head. His words were sharper, even when he muttered. And his eyes were defensive more then naked, when they were naked it was more of a wincing kind of woundedness than the open puppy thing Langella is doing here. Still want to like this, otherwise it looks really interesting, but unless it's poor editing choices for the trailer, I think Langella is a little off. Hope I'm wrong.
-
Honestly nothing about this project looks interesting to me. Langella sounds like he's voicing Nixon on "The Simpsons".
Maybe the trailer doesn't do a good of getting the story across. As an Australian I know a little about Watergate but I've never heard of this Nixon/Frost thing. I don't know if this is supposed to be some "lost interview" or if the interview was broadcast or what. A whole movie about deliberations over an interview sounds boring as hell to me, even with what seems like a pretty great cast. And the trailer doesn't do anything more to excite me.
Ron Howard has really slipped for me in the last few years. I really enjoyed Cinderella Man...not as Oscar bait but just as a good entertaining movie with great performances and solid boxing scenes (more than I can say for Rocky Balboa). But he couldn't crack The Da Vinci code, The Missing really was all in the title, and I still can't quite get on board with A Beautiful Mind.
Still...all of those movies looked *interesting*. This one doesn't...not yet. -
Looking forward to this enormously, and thrilled that Langella is reprising his stage tour de force.
-
I saw the play in London a couple years ago and wasn't impressed. Though I liked the two actors (actually LOVED Langella, he went on to win the Tony when the play arrived on Broadway)but there was something pedestrian about the writing. Though I remember thinking, if they beef up the roles of Frost's American cohorts, turn these disparate men into a suprisingly crack investigating team then it might make a good film. The "voila" moments are already there, its just that the tension getting there was somewhat slack (though the "reveal" in the final interview was terrific, as was this amazingly written drunken phone call Nixon makes to Frost the night before). So I guess I'm looking forward to the movie. Good casting, and I'm really jazzed to see Langella again in the role.

JESSE'S BIG RIP-OFF(S)
-
It was an early lesson in how politica and spin works - Nixon was a paranoid, arrogant, lying old sack of shit, but there were still people that admired him for it, and were scared of him, and even though Nixon slouched into that interview of his own accord, in one of his deluded attempts to "vindicate"" himself, and instead proceeded to publicly hang himself...
His Loyal Troops STILL tried to blame it on Frost, for asking questions that Nixon was stupid enough to answer....
Mind you, I'm not trying to defend Frost here - the guy WAS a specious boob - but he was in the Right Place at the Right Time. -
trying to do a Nixon impersonation. I like president movies though, so I'll probably check it out.
-
He said that at the end Nixon has a spectacular fight with the Watchmen that sets up a Nixon/Watchmen spin-off film.

octagonproplex - You need to go visit that Proctologist again

Or maybe you need a plastic surgeon to help you stop looking and acting like a Horses Ass.
-
He said it was "phenomenal". Possibly the best movie he's seen since Live Free or Die Hard. His small cameo as a camera man had no bearing whatsoever on his praises.
-
in defending himself in a talkback for a movie he has no interest in seeing. He needs to, uh, visit the Podiatrist again, because. . . uh, I dunno, something about a foot up his ass, or some retarded setup/punchline joke like that.
-
Who the fuck are you? And why the fuck do you think you can stick your Ron Howard shit covered nose in someones elses business? Did I address my comments to you? Are you offended because I do not want to see the movie, or because I responded to Octa - after his unprovoked response to me? Fuck you. Sincerely, Toadkillerdog
-
That'll be the closest Clint gets into a Director chair by the sakes of Opie Cunningham!!
-
I have no idea what's going on, but I've got your back Toad.

The funniest part was the phrase "private business". . . this in a public talkback forum about movies written by and to an anonymous handle, and without a hint of irony. I can't wait until one of three things happen: 1. I get another 100 words of impotent, anonymous spew. 2. I get a "I'm too good to talk to you so fuck off" line. 3. Petulant silence, as the offender holds his breath for someone else to come in and save him from himself. Who knows. . . the chubby fourteen year old/ egoistic twentysomething/ militant thirty-five year old/who the hell cares behind the compuer . . . well, he might surpirse me with an "Oh a got carried away, my bad. Let's be friends line." But I doubt it. :)
-
Let's be friends!
-
Would have been the correct phrase. Let's see if that makes it into the response . . . :)
-
Octa - we're cool. We have disagreed in the past - and likely will again in the future.
-
I'm pretty sure the last half of the trailer was a version of the music from The Fountain. I thought this was original music from The Fountain, but perhaps I was mistaken. Anyone know?
-
Just sort of wondering why it's being used in a trailer. Hopefully Clint got a payday for that.
-
Music from other movies is used all the time. Standard.
-
...in trailers.
-
I wanna see Bush interviewed in the same way as Frost interviewed Nixon....would be hilarious!! Not that Bush isnt gonna nuke us all before he finishes his term.

"As an Australian I know a little about Watergate but I've never heard of this Nixon/Frost thing."
Yes, it's one of those genuinely amazing stories that few people these days know about. That's why it will potentially make for a great movie. -
"Mind you, I'm not trying to defend Frost here - the guy WAS a specious boob"
Frost is frequently, frequently underestimated. That's part of his trick. He was part of the Cambridge-educated media elite of the 60s, and had a very sharp mind, but his laconic style and attraction to lightweight projects made him a bit like a drunken master in certain interviews: people let their guards down, and then he pounced with a killer question, and before they knew what had happened they'd said too much. Frost did the same thing with Blair a few years ago:

More The Fountain music in trailers. Like always. Good job Clint on making the two most known scores in movies due to their over use after the movie.
