Wow, it certainly looks darker than I thought it'd be.
I'm very, very excited.

[alf wiedersehen]

That trailer makes me tear up a little.
This should be a good movie.

[Capitol Punishment]

This looks like an Oscar-worthy movie. Can't wait to see it in June.

Aaaand now it's a private video.  Hopefully they fix it soon, I didn't have a change to watch it until now!!

[♩♬🐸 Billy C ♯♫♩🐇]

It crashed part of the way through, so I refreshed the page, and now it says 'Sorry! Because of its privacy settings, this video cannot be played'.

Now the facebook post has been taken down.  Hmmm

More teasing

[18thofMay]

A lot of Cusack with Giamatti telling 'Brian' that he's not allowed to see 'Melinda'. Opens with Good Vibrations, then segues to I Get Around and God Only Knows for the background music.

We also hear Dano sing some GOK for a bit. His piano playing is nothing like Brian's four-on-the-floor style which is jarring, but the trailer was generally okay. I'm sure the film is a blast.

I only "half" watched it while taking care of some other business, but these are things that I remember (not in any particular order):

- Band dressed in suits (?) at a table with Mike introducing each member by their name.
- Same beginning sequence of "I Get Around" used in the teaser but fleshed out a little bit and shows the band on stage singing too.
- Landy snatching food (?) out of Brian's hand while he was sitting on a couch with Melinda.
- Landy & Melinda during a yelling match about Brian and I'm guessing Melinda calling Landy out.  With a door slamming (?)
- Studio scene of "You Still Believe in Me" with the plucking of the individual piano strings.
- Melinda telling Brian that she can't be with him because she doesn't want to use him like everybody else (? might be mis-remembering this one a bit).
- When the music segued into "God Only Knows", it sounded like Dano signing.
- Studio scene with Brian and Melinda and Landy behind the glass.  With Brian slapping the glass yelling at Landy (? I think)

Was looking forward to watching it again, hope it comes back online!

Anybody save it?  I was only watching it on a phone, wasn't at a computer so I couldn't grab it.

Edit:  Also, Melinda meeting Brian when he's buying his car / Landy asking Melinda if she knows who Brian is.

Very Landy/Melinda-centric. Opens with Brian inside a Cadillac at the dealership acting strange (his shoes are on the floor by the car) and Melinda seems put off. Landy introduces Brian to her, almost like he's bragging that he knows Brian Wilson. They intersperse some Beach Boys stuff, recording of Pet Sounds, Brian asking if they can get a horse into the studio, talking about how they can't let the Beatles beat them. Split second shot of Murry smacking him as a child.

The main focus of the trailer though is the Landy/Melinda struggle. They show Landy telling her he's giving her "unprecedented access" to Brian and wants her to report back everything they talk about to him. It shows them on a date but there are 2 other people there (I assume Landy assistants, one might be Alexandra Morgan). Brian confides to her that he's a prisoner and being over-medicated, one of Landy's people coming in with a duffel bag saying it's time for his meds. Brian tells her he hears voices and didn't tell her before because he didn't want to scare her off. One scene in the studio where Brian asks Landy why he can't be with Melinda and Landy tells him he can't be with anyone. Melinda tells Brian she has to walk away because she doesn't want to be one more person trying to use him. Landy angrily threatens Melinda, punches the window of what I assume is her office at the car dealership. Melinda seeing how regimented Brian's life is- yelling at Brian for eating because he isn't really hungry, he just thinks he is. The climax is Melinda telling Brian that if he wants they can walk away from Landy forever.

There is more, little bits and pieces of their courtship and one of the Wrecking Crew telling Brian that they played with Elvis and Sinatra but he is blowing their minds. Mostly the trailer looks almost like a romance drama- particularly one scene where Brian says Landy makes him say "I love you" 5 times a day, Melinda asking if it works and Brian saying he wishes he had someone else to say it to. That's all I can remember offhand.

New still released just before it's showing at SXSW tomorrow

Hey look who it is

That guy's a dead ringer for Mark Linett. When they make a biopic about his life I hope they choose that guy to play Mark.  But who'll play the older Mark?

Chuck Britz ?

[sea of tunes]

Bummer that the full length trailer was pulled.  Must've just been a mistake by the production company to publish it.  Probably will go online soon though, hopefully by early April maybe.

[rab2591]

It's probably because I know the story already, but that was one of the most powerful movie trailers I've ever seen.

The cinematography in places really reminded me of 'The Tree of Life' (not surprising)...Not only does this movie look emotionally powerful, but it also looks strikingly beautiful. June cannot come soon enough!

Beautiful... you can say that again. I'm looking forward to the big wave of audience reviews.
