A Poster And A Trailer For THE SQUARE...

Published at:  Mar 15, 2010 6:21:06 PM CDT


Merrick here...


...with a look at the teaser trailer and one sheet for THE SQUARE. This one's about "a secret affair", "a ruthless betrayal", and "a brutal revenge".

Here's the trailer...



THE SQUARE Official Trailer from The Square on Vimeo.





...and here's an EMBIGGENABLE poster with a quote from some guy.





My woman's gonna be all over this one. If I show her this trailer, I'll never hear the end of it until she's seen this film at least twice. She's all about movies and TV shows involving secrets and betrayals and whatnot - which means I should watch my back, I suppose.

No word yet on the film's release (beyond its April 9 opening in New York and LA) - hopefully we'll soon have news on when this'll hit screens widely. Until then, the movie's website can be found HERE.

    by eustisclay

    ...jeez one of my all time favorite movies. Such a great script, direction, performances, the music and locations. There are so many great lines from that flick. I can only hope Harry is not blowing smoke. And if you think it blows, I can only think that you're a little younger and you've seen so many flicks that have ripped it off, you think it's cliched.

    Blurbs

    by unscripted

    Movie ads always hit with the lame-o stuff they can get in advance. Once the real reviews are out, they can quote major critics and publications. Unless it's one of the real turd movies, and then they still have blurbs from Harry and the Southern North Dakota Times three weeks out...

    by onefatman

    great direction, acting, production design - loved it. Came out in oz ages ago, wish i caught it at the cinema. Probably more akin to suburban mayhem or lantana than the coen bros. efforts but definitely worth the "one of the best of the year" quote

    So what, any "crime" movie counts as film noir nowadays?

    by slimbutnotreally

    Man, the term "film noir" sure does get thrown around a lot. It's like people like to say that just to sound smart. Besides, this doesn't really look like the definition of film noir to me. Regardless, I'll just start watching 90 minutes into the movie since the trailer gave away most of the movie.

    If the exact same movie was made in America,

    by bbbbeeeennnn

    same script, same shots, same everything, everyone would be shitting on it for being just another run of the mill crime movie. But because its Australian it gets the pretention value of being a foreign film and a whole swathe of people who are so jaded that they can't remember why they even like movies in the first place cling to it as being this new amazing thing when really its just the same old story with different accents. Still a decent movie, if its on tv its worth a watch but no one should go out of their way to see it in cinemas.

    Quoting Harry is damning with faint praise..

    by quantize

    let's be completely honest, Harry is nothing but a frothing hyperbole
    pusher. Anyone who reads quotes from websites on a poster or disc cover knows full well a film is just a little bit desperate for some positive publicity.

    by bungion boy

    I saw it at the BAM Film Festival and thought it had a limited release in November '09. Oh well. I thought it was a good film, but fell short of greatness for me. There are tons of loose ends and silly irony in it. Great lead performance though.

    by johnnyg korrupt

    Not a bad movie but nowhere near as good as Harry thinks.

    Didn't even raise an eyebrow here in Australia and the ending is ridiculous. It's as if Tarantino came in for the last days shooting to do the climax and it doesn't match the rest of the film

    by moore12

    He has sex with a new born baby. and from a review I quote, "hrows around terms and phrases like “newborn porn” and "involuntary incest". In the trailer there is a scene of a women giving birth and IMDB lists childbirth, and death during child birth. So, if everyone is as as smart as they claim to be, I think you can follow the trail.

    The moment they used Harry's quote

    by filmcoyote

    they guaranteed i won't watch it. It's not that i always disagree with Harry or even that i pay much attention to any quotes on posters, but if the best quote a film can find to use is from either an internet reviewer or one of those radio/tv stations with all the letters (KBCN-TV, etc) then you know you're dealing with a dog. I'm dubious even when they only use one of these quotes amongst three or four but it's the only review blurb. That way spells a hideous mess.

    this film is awesome.
    australian, austrian or whatever.

    not the best thriller since body heat but it's still fantastic. shouldn't have used harry's name (damaged goods). and building it up that much only lets the dicks on this site tear it down.

    whoever said the ending sucked is a fucking idiot. the ending was great.
