/Film reader Rama’s Screen sends over word that the trailer for Sam Mendes‘ Revolutionary Road, the new film which reunites Titanic stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet. And this time we have it without the annoying Entertainment Tonight voiceover. I’m still weary because of some of the simplistic dialogue, but I have yet to be let down by Mendes yet. Plus, the film will probably be wroth watching for Roger Deakins cinematography alone. And besides, it seems like it has all the criteria for award season contention. As always, tell me what you think in the comments below.

Entertainment Tonight has a sneak preview of the teaser trailer for Revolutionary Road, Sam Mendes‘ new film which reunites Titanic stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet. There is nothing more I hate than Mary Hart talking over the interesting parts of a movie trailer, but alas it is all we have. My first encounter with this footage was in hearing only the audio over the shoulder of a colleague as he watched it. I found the dialogue to be laughably on the nose, Paul Haggis style. But it becomes easy to dismiss when complimented with Roger Deakins’ cinematography. As always, tell me what you think in the comments below.

Earlier we told you how Paramount/Dreamworks had pushed JJ Abrams’ Star Trek back to May 2009 as part of a major studio schedule reshuffle. Lets take a look at some of the other films in this huge reshuffle:

If you’ve never had the pleasure of spending five or so minutes looking for an “unstuffy, blue skies” photo of Sam Mendes, try staring at a piece of gray construction paper until your eyes glaze over. At least this new, upcoming project sounds like a nice change of pace (color?) for the director of American Beauty, who hasn’t been on auto-pilot since snagging Best Director in ‘99, but sometimes it feels that way. Mendes has signed on to helm an untitled comedy based on the script, “This Must Be the Place,” by Vendela Vida and her husband, McSweeney’s maestro Dave Eggers. And yes, the script fits, like a circle [...]

Last month we reported that Titanic stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet would reunite in Revolutionary Road. But what first seemed like a coincidence (Winslet’s husband Sam Mendes is directing which explains her casting) now seems to be a big marketing gimmick as Titanic co-star Kathy Bates is also set to board the project.

Titanic stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet have signed on to star in Revolutionary Road for Dreamworks. Winslet’s husband and American Beauty director Sam Mendes will direct the film. This will be the first time he has directed either star.
