Wow. That was very strange. Count me in as intrigued. I'll probably be there november 9. Also, i love how it looks like The Rock has finally found his "real" movie role. This looks like a very interesting and different performance from him. Mind you this is just the trailer...

This movie looks even stranger than Donnie Darko- whether that's a good thing or a bad thing. And I'm glad they've finally stopped calling him "The Rock".

I enjoyed... other than the awful JT voice over. I hope people stop casting him in movies. Dwayne, or the Rock, also seemed pretty awkward, even in the trailer. Everyone else was pretty good.

I'm pretty excited at Richard Kelly's new project. Looks to be another brain screwer. My brain already hurts from the strange casting.

Definetely worth a look and if the movie ends up being only half as strange as the cast selection is, it should be entertaining.

I've heard too many awful things about this movie to be genuinely excited for it, but I will reserve judgment until I see it. This was a well-made trailer.

I'm so freakin' curious about this movie! Even if it's a disaster, I must know WHY!

I love movies that are weird in a good way. I hope this is one of those rather than one that is just weird for the sake of being weird. From the trailer it looks like they assembled as many one-dimensional actors as they could find, but I'll reserve judgment until November.

I didn't like the trailer the first time I saw it, but re-watching again, and then again; I'm completely mesmerized by it and I'm looking forward to seeing this. I hoping this "new" version will get better reviews then the Cannes version did.

Also looking forward to more Sarah Michelle Gellar, it's good to see her get away from the horror genre.

True, as weird as the trailer is, the saga of the movie's production and release is even weirder.

I love this trailer... I'm bias because I've read the graphic novels, so I know a little bit more of what's going on, but I think it conveys the general message that the film is about the apocalypse and the sorted tails of certain character that lead us there.

At least it's not your standard boring Voice-over guy trailer... that's what I was scared of to be honest.

Yo, JT almost looked/sounded creepy. With the whole scarred face and bloody shirt...it may be a healthy departure from his pretty-boy prison.

CAN someone tell me why Justin is getting all these roles when we have men his age who can actually ACT like Chris Evans, Ryan Reynolds, Emile Hirsch and the list goes on?

I like the appearances from some of the Darko cast - at least Kelly is bringing some of the old team back.
But yeah, the trailer is certainly interesting, but for a film this complex I honestly don't think I can comment until I see the beast itself.

becuase timberlake cover a demi graphic sad but true bettween Buffy and the Rock and Timberlake you pretty much have the born during the clinton administration crowd covered i met Sarah Michelle Gellar at a Halloween party in L.A she is really nice and i wish her the best allways timberlake i havent seen in a film if this is based off a graphic novel it might be cool at least you know they have a story to work with regardless of its execution and Donnie Darko was a trip
