Looks really good. Time for another Oscar, Denzel?

This looks.....really good and potentially important.

Interesting note...both Denzel and Viola played the same characters in the Broadway version of this and won Tony's for their performances.

One of my favorite plays.

Denzel is going to absolutely kill it in this movie. He and Viola will probably both win Oscars.

I have no idea what that is about, but that is a great trailer.

Denzel is awesome.

Yeah, James Earl Jones owned that role. When I read the play in college, the image of Troy my mind conjured looked a lot like JEJ.

Wish my father was still alive. Even if he treated me like that, I'd rather my father be around rather than be dead.

One of the greatest plays out there. Amazing it has taken this long for it to get the A list movie treatment. Looks like the entire Broadway cast is in it, too. From what I recall, Jones brought more intimidation and drama to Troy whereas Denzel plays it more akin to Herman Boone meets Alonzo Harris (Jones makes you sit in silence, Denzel will make you laugh uneasily)

given the freakout last year over the oscars, you can bet your arse this movie will get praise even if it's undeserving. that said, the trailer looks really good and imma see it to judge for myself.
