Just realised that Damon has been away since August 2007 (The Bourne Ultimatum), but later this year he’ll be back with 3 potentially high-profile pictures: The Informant, Green Zone, and Invictus. Good for him. Of all the young actors his age, I think I probably like him the most.
This looks great, I think it is the first Soderbergh movie that I am now actually looking forward to (as opposed to curioused about it). The only problem I can think of is that Soderbergh has become the auteur of the “let me explain to you a complicated plot that is delivered with so many verbal and visual details it should stun you into paying attention”. After the didactic Traffic (and the tediously didactic Syriana) I’ve really grown tired of this lecture-cinema.
Read this book years ago and it didn’t play as comedy. Whitacre is one of the most frustrating characters you’ll ever meet. You want to pull your hair out over the stuff this guys does. A brilliant and sad portrait of self-deception and self-destruction.
I read the book too and agree it certainly didn’t come off as a comedy. But if you think about the actual stuff Whitacre did during the investigation, maybe it should have been.
And if this material isn’t a Soderbergh comedy, it’s just a Frontline special. I think he played it the right way.
Looks okay. Don’t understand why there are so many negative comments. Has the tide really shifted that much for Soderbergh? How much do you bet he has a scene that makes people stop chewing their popcorn because they’re wondering where it came from?
Sort of funny that Mann gets so much more respect on this board than Soderbergh. It’s been 10 years since Mann last did a truly great movie, and 10 months since Soderbergh did one.
What’s not funny are the 3 musical pieces chosen for this trailer. I can tolerate Valkryes, but then we have a leftover tune from Ocean’s, followed finally with The Eurythmics like we’re back in a 1990 Dana Carvey vehicle. Other than that I was cool with it. Curious to see how Matt Damon’s appearence affects Box office. Not a lot of successful movies ugly up their A-listers in such a manner. The trailers for Vanilla Sky, e.g., didn’t show Cruise disfigured.
Wow – I’d only seen brief blurbs about this and assumed it was a “Syrianna” type pot boiler. This looks intriguing though – I’m definitely up for a comic approach to the whole insider/whisteblower type of story. Two more things, though – 1) DeNiro in “Raging Bull” is absolutely the gold standard for tranformation-into-fat-and-old-guy method acting – no questions asked. And I say that having greatly admired Crowe in “The Insider”. Item 2 – Damon absolutely can do comedy – check out that episode of “Will & Grace” he did – he’s hilarious in that. When film actors do those stunt casting episodes on sitcoms, it really separates the wheat from the chaff in terms of comic abillity – some flourish, while others sink like a stone (paging Brad Pitt).

That’s a great trailer.
Damon looks weird old and fat.
Russell Crowe’s old and fat role in The Insider remains the benchmark for oldness and fatness for a 30-something actor.
And De Niro in Raging Bull…..
Not the tone I was expecting, but it looks promising – and different.
Wow — I guess I didn’t know this was “Oceans Soderbergh”. Looks tedious.
An imminent “high pedigree” release with A list star and producers on board, and your next deal is cancelled. Something’s not right.
First impressions only:
The cinematography did not impress; the colour, the lighting… I don’t know, it looked amateur-ish, and cheap.
Pretty much all the jokes fell flat.
So many recognisable faces that added up to not much.
Damon’s role looked promising.

Did everything in ‘The Informant’ ACTUALLY HAPPEN like Soderbergh wanted for ‘Moneyball.’ I wonder?
*yawn* Burn After Reading via Thank You for Smoking, but with MATT DAMON!!
I liked the jokes; Damon is an amusing surprise. I don’t see how a movie about corruption in the corn industry could go wrong. I’m there.
Snark heaven, will see it…DVD…
Hope it’s a damn sight better than “The Girlfriend Experience”.
Clancy Brown !!
The joked fell flat for me too but i’ll give it a shot. Really looking forward to Green Zone though.

Midwestern corn fed Damon….looks funny and smart….September could be a good lead-in for
a lot of quality films….popcorn anyone?
Looks like this years “Burn After Reading”….and that’s not a good thing.

This isn’t what I expected, but it’s Soderbergh, so I’ll give it a look.
Looks like Joel McHale is getting alot of screen time in this, which suits me fine. Any fans of “The Soup” here?
What was wrong with Burn After Reading? It was often hilarious.
Oh shit that is Joel McHale!!
awesome, great for him- love the soup.

This looks tedious. I don’t think Matt Damon has a flair for comedy. Why didn’t Steven Soderbergh hire George Clooney to play this instead?
Damon has no flair for comedy? “Applesauce, bitch”
