Damn. You must really hate the Keira, no?
Eh, I'm not a big fan of the 'giant wigs and big frilly dresses' genre or self-important period pieces, so the promise one of those and ALSO starring Ms. Knightley looks infinitely unappealing to me.
It's reminiscent of Marie Antoinette, except it's far more serious, and without the whole "last queen of france" bit. Seems very unimportant and hardly memorable.
Oh! This trailer is delightfully awful! I can certainly handle the big costume drama better than the average fella--but the contrast between the 'seriousness' of the clips and the melodramatic music/editing verges on hysterical.
And Jesus-Fucking-Christ: is it some industry requirement that the trailer for EVERY British period drama utilize the same piece of music to underscore the quick-cut montage punch at the end of the trailer?
In the past year alone, the same trailer music was used for "Elizabeth: The Golden Age" and "The Other Boleyn Girl." Hasn't anyone else caught on?
