Well it is time to see what is new in the world of the movie trailers. As the summer approaches, we will be getting more and more of the high brow Oscar bait trailers to view. People say to never judge a book by it’s cover, but a good trailer can give great insight into who will be the big players come awards season. Remember Helen Mirren in the trailer for “The Queen”? Every knew it was her year from that. Remember how lack luster the trailer for “Dreamgirls” was? Remember how we took one look at “The Last King of Scotland” and we all knew.
First off is the
the trailer for “The Golden Age”. Expect this to be huge, especially for Cate Blanchett and Samantha Morton who is considered by many to be the front runner for Best Supporting Actress. To early you say? Well early front runners for this category have included: Jennifer Connelly – “A Beautiful Mind”, Catherine Zeta Jones – “Chicago”, Renee Zellweger – “Cold Mountain”, Cate Blanchett – “The Aviator” and Jennifer Hudson – “Dreamgirls”.
Next we have Goodbye Bafana. Based upon the infamous book written by the prison guard who spent day in day out with Nelson Mandela during his lengthy prison sentence. The film follows that relationship between Mandela (Dennis Haysbert) and the racist white guard (Joseph Fiennes) assigned to him and the changes they both go through. Small film, but if the performances are right it could do well.
The trailer doesn’t really hint at that though.
Whilst fishing on holiday away from their Australian home-town Jindabyne, Irishman Stewart Kane (Gabriel Byrne) and three other men see a dead girl in the river. For some reason, they decide to keep fishing and only report their find many days later. The disturbing behaviour shown by Stewart, terrifies his wife Claire, (Laura Linney) who was the last to find out, and makes her strongly doubt her relationship with him. In an attempt to show sympathy to the victims parents, she distances herself from her husband, family and friends, whilst also faced with a vengeful family, whom she is desperate to help. Looks interesting, and one can always count on Laura Linney.
The trailer looks very intriguing.

With Joseph Fiennes and Dennis Haysbert, Goodbye Bafana could be impressive. Let's hope it is done well as Nelson deserves recognition and is a more inspiring character than in the Last King of Scotland.
