wait...what?

Two Words Eric Bana

Who could possibly ever get the image of Christ out of their mind,

AND, he NEVER looks any younger in any of the trailer jumps. What a waste of a good book.

Umm, are you confusing him for Jim Caviezel? Cause if so, then you clearly got the image was easier to forget than you thought.

I guess I am a softie, the book is fantastic, looking forward to this one.

I read the book, but I'm not quite sure what to make of this. I guess I'll have to wait and see.

It's not very often that we see time travel in something that isn't sci-fi.
could be interesting

It's science fiction, it just crosses into other genres as well.

Way to show the entire plot in the trailer. Also,

"I think it's kind of, magical"

If someone actually said that I would slap them with my wallet. Could be a good date movie.

OH. MY. GOD. What the hell is going on with trailers these days? You REALLY don't have to reveal the entire movie. No, seriously. They meet. They flirt. They fall in love. They're happy. They're not so happy. Then they're bittersweet. Oh and they had a kid too. Great. Thanks for ruining that.

Just like the Hangover, it would have been more hilarious had they not revealed EVERY SINGLE TWIST in the trailer. Lost the groom. Lost a tooth. The tiger. The baby. Hospital visit. Got married. Mike Tyson. Guy in the trunk. Did I miss anything? Ugh.

It actually is possible to make a trailer that doesn't run like a two and a half minute synopsis of the movie.

Maybe you should read the book. It really doesn't reveal anything... Trust me this movie will be fantastic

The trailer was cut pretty terribly. The fact that they reveal they have a kid, and even go to show the kid, pretty much destroys everything the book leads up to for the second half.

I hope the actual movie is more dark like the book, than the cheery goodness we're seeing in the trailer.

it's a movie about time travel. are you sure it's told chronologically? for all you know the kid's in the very first scene.

It's based on a book. If you've read the book, you have a fairly good idea of how the story is told. Alba is not in the very first scene of the book. In fact, she's not mentioned until well into the 2nd half. If this film is based on the book, it would be a rational assumption that it would follow similar timelines, yes?

Wow, I really don't need to see this now as they gave us every salient moment in the trailer!

I think it's kind of, magical... Honestly though it looks ok, I never read the book but I do like Bana as an actor. The movie does look interesting.

I really loved the book but the trailer really did not do it for me. However, my friend saw a cut of the film and said it was amazing so I won't write it off yet...

I'm excited, that book made me feel like an emo bitch but it was very good, hope the movie is too

Man!, I can't wait to hear Adam Quigley to give his theory about time traveling on this one
Can't be worst than the theory of the terminator's time traveling :P

yeah saw a tv spot for it last nite.

I'm a dude who likes a handful of bad romantic movies. I think i'll add this to the chick flick heap with julie & julia.

Other than "seemingly ordinary man time travels", I'm not sure why there were accusations about "Journeyman" borrowing from "The Time Traveler's Wife". "Journeyman" was much more of a science fiction story with consequences to the main character's time traveling actions: the usual 'changes in the past effect the future' stuff. That was part of the fun of the show. It was actually closer to "Quantum Leap", in that he had to figure out what needed to be changed in the past before he returned home. "The Time Traveler's Wife" was much more of a romance about destiny and the uncertainty involved in long-term relationships. The author made it clear that the main character couldn't effect anything, that he was fulfilling his seemingly preordained role in the time lines he appeared. Lots of sci-fi movies, books and tv shows have time traveling plots. Lately it seems like they all do. So I find it curious to say one borrowed (stole) from another. Maybe they all stole from H.G. Wells. Maybe there's a missing Shakespeare play about time traveling. I think there may have been a 4th Oedipus play where he sleeps with his mother and kills his own father before he actually does those things and becomes his own father. That makes my head hurt just thinking about it.

Everytime it seems like I've finally gotten over Journeyman being cancelled someone always brings it up again. Peter, you're the #1 culprit. Bastard.

:'(

I can't believe Journeyman got canceled. it was such a great show that had such great potential. Towards the end i found myself only tuning into heroes so i could watch Journeyman after. If Heroes didn't turn into complete crap it might have been able to retain a large enough audience for Journeyman to be successful.

Bleh. I love the book but that trailer did nothing for me. It felt like exactly what you'd imagine a hollywood version of the story to be - all the emotion and "romance" turned up to 11 to the point of being horribly sacharine.

You misspelled "saccharine."

I loved the book--it was so original and had a great voice. But this just looks ordinary. Blerg.

I'm reading the book currently and it's holding my interest so I'll give the movie a shot. On Blu-Ray, might be a bit odd if I see this in theatre by myself.

Seeing it for Rachael McAdams.

Zee cheese. It iz thick!

Wait, this isn't looking good at all. Eric Bana is failing at career right now. He hasn't taken a good role since Munich. Newb Trekkies as of '09 halt...Nero was a lame role for such a huge actor. He had like 10 lines in the movie, all of them screaming. Other than that, this movie just looks lame.

I think Eric and Rachel have great chemistry... - will be interesting to see the movie...But I liked Eric Bana as Nero too so I suppose I am easily satisfied lol lol!!

I'm sorry all I can think about from watching that trailer is when Marty McFly begins to disappear in Back to The Future... The effect for Bana dropping out of one time and place is an awfully lot like that... Was that the way it was presented in the book? I only got past the first chapter.

Not at all. The effect in the book was never really described, but is implied as completely instantaneous; none of that cheesy fading out stuff.

Well, he did have some tingling, fading feeling when it was about to happen - but yeah, not really a description of what it looks like visually. But so what - is how they do that effect the salient point of the film for you?

Wait, you only got past the first chapter? no wonder you can only focus on this non-important issue.

Did Rachael McAdam's acting seem kinda weak or was it just me? At least she looks the part... I love the book, but this doesn't do much for me.

aaaarrgggg, so much time travelling. Do something else.

THIS TRAILER IS ALL WHAT THE MOVIE AS TO SHOW!!! i even cry when he goes away in the last shot!LoL is the movie "Ghost" of our time lol the new version! eheheh ;)

I like the book but the trailer just makes it look pretty lame.

I love the book to death. I hope the movie is fantastic. But so far it's not doing it for me. Could easily be a case of bad trailer good movie, however, so I'm not going to be a little b*tch like other commenters and claim the movie will definitely suck based on a couple of minutes of footage. Rachel seems miscast, but Eric seems perfect for the part.

But will anyone be surprised that a bunch of slashfilm fanboys are going to whine about a trailer for a romance? Nope, you're all just stereotypes at this point.

As for the "omgzorz newb trekkies nero sucks" comment up there. You're a tool. We all know you're a tool. Go be a tool somewhere else.

Racist.

Reminds me of "Eternal Sunshine of the spotless mind"

though that Greatness should never be compared to this

Trailer looks cheesy as hell. I loved the book, and when I heard that Brad Pitt's company, Plan B, had purchased the book I had high hopes. Would have been cool to do a darker/realistic take on it, something with the look of Benjamin Button, instead of the Summer's Eve douche commercial vibe it's got going on now.
Or maybe it's the trailer, it is cut like one of those parody trailers we see all the time now...

Man, I'm not sure. Love Journeyman, but this seems awfully cheesy and I don't think, to tell you the truth, the acting was too great either. Well, we will see...

Ugh the music...why that song? Book was great...but this trailer was cut terribly.

Loved the book but can't see them staying true to the ending...

I agree, great book! But I highly doubt they will stick with the dark tone of the ending (seems like they might give it the usual "happy ending"). I'm definitely willing to give the movie a shot though before passing judgment.

Looks interesting. Though, after Eric Bana's rather bland performance in "Star Trek" I'm weary of sitting through another film with him as the lead... Rachel can stay. >_>

So when he goes through time he shows up naked? Should be some good laughs.

I love me some time traveling, so I've really been looking forward to this one. but this just seems sappy ass boring and lame. let's hope the trailer was cut silly and the movie is cool. yes. please??
