Can't say that I'm a fan of the new onesheet for Danny Boyle's Slumdog Millionaire - I actually think it's one of the worst posters I've seen this year - but, yes, I flat out love the film. By this point people should be well aware of the basic set up - a young man from Mumbai's slums is poised to win the local version of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire when he is accused of cheating and must recount his life story to explain how he knows the answers to the questions he has been asked - for the much acclaimed film but other than a single clip there hasn't been anything to look at yet. Until now. The first proper trailer has just arrived and you can find it in the Twitch Player below the break.
It is a horrible poster, no doubt about it. And while that trailer kinda screams "oscar bait" it still shows exactly why Boyle is one of our best filmmakers.
christ, im sick of hearing that sigur ros song on trailers/adverts/'feel good' moments on tv shows etc
Based on all the critical hoopla the trailer definitely prompts my wanting to see this latest Danny Boyle film.
Yeah, if it wasn't for all of the reviews I've been reading, I'd otherwise judge this film as a melodramtic, hokey, oscar baiting piece of shit based on the trailer and poster.
Yeah, I love sigur Ros as well, but that song's trailer usage needs to die.
Looking forward to being suprirsed in a few weeks tho.
