Apple has the trailer for the new Coen Bros. movie A Serious Man. Ain't It Cool News called it the best trailer this year. Really? Ok. I don't know about all that. I watched it yesterday for the first time and I wasn't blown away by it. Don't get me wrong, it's one of the more original trailers I've seen this year. On top of that it's hilarious. I love the banging of the head throughout the whole trailer. I love the shot of the physics professor standing in front of the blackboard surrounded by equations. I don't know why but I really liked the fact that I do not recognize a lot of the actors. I was never taken out of the trailer by going "Hey there's John Turturro!". I was hoping to see J.K. Simmons pop up though. He's a favorite of mine and the Coens. I agree more with CHUD's opinion on the trailer especially Nick Nunziata's last comment about not getting what the movie is about but still getting it.
Is this the best trailer of the year? Talk to it and let me know. A Serious Man opens on October 2, 2009.
***I've watched the trailer a few more times today and I have to admit that it's growing on me.
