A trailer must be coming soon, I reckon it'll launch with The Goldfinch or on the day it premieres at TIFF.

LOL at Jamie Foxx's moustache

This is like the last movie I'd expect a "Trailer Tease" from. WB marketing is so weird

Didn't A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood and Little Women also get teases of some sort?

[Godzilla]

Lol that teaser looked like an Oscar parody.

Awards potential for Brie & MBJ?

Idk. Maybe the movie will be amazing but this trailer felt pretty generic.

If the trailer felt melodramatic and generic, it's probably gonna be just that. Cretton's last film was similar and Short Term 12 also felt like a movie that could have easily been melodramatic (the script certainly edged towards that territory) but the directing was a lot more restrained in that movie.

[SLAM!]

This already looks like it'll be one of the most important films of the year. I can see the Academy voting this through if they're willing enough to support a cause. Filmmaking is hard and the act of successfully evoking emotions from the audience is enough for me to say they did a good job. Injustice boils my blood and I'd gladly accept a Best Picture WIN for this film if it means the criminal justice system is positively affected.

[Morieris]

I don't want to say , "Well, they gave it away in the trailer" because it's a book...but I didn't read the book, and they gave it away in the trailer.

Not from that trailer 😳 Brie looks like she’s turned up to a different film. Talk about over doing it. 

 

MBJ looks like he’s playing MBJ again, sorry. 

[lorddemaxus]

Just watched the trailer and yeah, it's pretty melodramatic but as @SLAM! said, I think it's more justified here if it really wants the audience to understand such an important message about the absolutely terrible justice system in America. More justified than Glass Castle being melodramatic at least.

Toronto Review: 'Just Mercy' is a superbly crafted drama with a standout performance by Jamie Foxx #TIFF19 #JustMercy https://t.co/9LT9LuNfPh pic.twitter.com/jAuGGWjJup

Holy smokes #JustMercy is a fantastic crusade on the injustices that lie in our legal system. Michael B Jordan and Jamie Foxx are terrific. Full review tomorrow, but an emotional journey worth taking. #TIFF19

#JustMercy is a tense, wildly engaging death-row drama that’s hard to watch at times, but also the kind of film that inspires multiple rounds of applause during the screening. Jamie Foxx and Michael B. Jordan are terrific. Will be an audience favorite for sure#TIFF19 pic.twitter.com/iiNJeO8C6B

#JustMercy: A small scale judicial drama, that's more Short Term Twelve than Glass Castle! I'm a sucker for a good courtcase drama, and this checked all the right notes! @michaelb4jordan is terrific! @brielarson ruled! #JamieFoxx deserves an Oscar Nom! #TIFF19 pic.twitter.com/FWpX6qPl64

I hope Jamie Foxx doesn't steal Brad Pitt's Oscar.

Feeling this is gonna be a hit.

As soon as WB moved it to December, I had a feeling they were confident although it did backfire on them with Live by Night a few years back but that's the exception,

[TMP]

Reactions seem pretty muted. Still don't see this going anywhere other than Foxx, and that's a maybe looking at how competitive supporting is looking (Bale/Brown/DaFriend/PacinHoo Haa)

[Jonwo]

The fact a number of reviews have called it a crowd pleaser bodes well for it box office wise. 

 

I can see WB pushing for Jamie Foxx to be nominated for supporting,
