Not bad, moving this out of Oscar season doesn't give me confidence though.

Wow...it seems the founder was an A grade asshole like the facebook guy. 

[babz06]

There are lots of older skewing dramas coming out in August this year.

August 5- The Founder

August 12- Cafe Society, Florence Foster Jenkins

August 19- Ben-Hur

August 26- Hands of Stone

 

I don't know why/how studios expect them all to make money with that much competition.

I'm an asshole too. Makes for relatable characters

I doubt it.

 

Anyways, great trailer. Like The Social Network. Will most likely enjoy this.

What is that supposed to mean? I know for a fact that Mark Zuckerberg as presented in The Social Network is relatable. He's an asshole but he's like a well intentioned asshole.

[Avatree]

I disagree, I didn't find the portrayal of Zuckerberg to be relatable at all. He's the villain, I sympathised with Eduardo Savarin and wanted him to nail Zuckerberg as hard as he could.

I found both relatable and thought they were both great great great performances.

Isn't Café Society also streaming on Amazon? If so I doubt it gets much of a theatrical release. Plus Woody's track record over the last several years has been leading more towards the "trash" side of the "treasure/trash" scale so...

 

And lol @ Ben-Hur being labeled a drama. It's for no one, really.

 

Anyway this looks kinda generic but entertaining.

This.

Trailer looks good, I'll catch it on Netflix someday.

[Eric Duncan]

Am I the only one who's weirded out by mustache-less Nick Offerman? Otherwise, looks pretty entertaining.

So that must mean this movie's really good, eh? That sounds good to me, but it sucks I have to wait longer for this movie. 

[Cmasterclay]

That makes much more sense, considering the nature of the film and the fact that I have seen zero marketing for this at all. Might get lost in the awards shuffle, though. Something about this seems like a non-starter award wise.

Weinstein is moving all their movies back, wonder if they are headed the Relativity route soon.

[Mr Terrific]

What do you mean by the Relativity route?
