:: The Playlist :: —
The first trailer for Jim Sheridan's "Brothers" starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Natalie Portman and Tobey Maguire has been unveiled and, true to it's Oscar-season release date, exhibits a emotionally powerful film set to draw the attention of the Academy.

Brothers
Awards Daily —
A young man comforts his older brother’s wife and children after he goes missing in Afghanistan. Based on Susanne Bier’s film, “Brothers”.
Thanks to amanda for sending me on a search for the Brothers trailer that showed up on ET this week. Holy whoa. Wasn’t expecting this level of intensity.
‘Brothers’ trailer
In Contention —
As someone who was never particularly taken with Susanne Bier’s popular 2004 melodrama “Brothers” — I find Bier’s work too patly earnest to repay real emotional investment — I approach Jim Sheridan’s long-delayed remake with a measure of caution.
Judging from this just-released trailer, it seems to hew very close to the original, with added studio gloss and a gloopy background of Fray balladry that I hope isn’t in the film itself. On the plus side, Natalie Portman looks rather good, and needless to say, it’s a step up for Sheridan from the grim career nadir of “Get ...

Filmstalker —
Brothers_Poster.jpg The remake of Susanna Bier's Brødre (Brothers) by Jim Sheridan also called Brothers has released a trailer on the internet, and it definitely seems to be sticking close to the original story. Brødre starred Ulrich Thomsen, whom I really do like as an actor, Connie Nelson and Nikolaj Lie Kaas, and it really is a powerful, thoughtful and provocative film with Thomsen giving a great performance. This mainstream English language version Brothers ...

Movie Moron —
The trailer for post-Afghanistan drama ‘Brothers’ has hit the intertubes and has the one time rivals for the Spider-Man role now battling it out for Natalie Portman’s hand.
When young soldier Sam (Tobey Maguire) is shot down and classed MIA in Afghanistan, his drifter brother Tommy (Jake Gyllenhaal) steps in to take care of his children and wife Grace (Natalie Portman). One thing leads to another and before you can say, ‘Dude, that’s kinda wrong’, Tommy and Grace and going at it like teenagers. Unfortunately, Sam is rescued by the military and comes back home. ...

The commentary for James Gray's Two Lovers is worth listening to; it's Gray's serious but never dull recounting of his intentions going into to making the film and the way that collaboration with Joaquin Phoenix and others sometimes put a different spin on the results. In discussing the actress Vinessa Shaw, who plays the woman whose family is buying the cleaning business owned by the father of Phoenix's character, Gray notes that he was initially uncertain about casting the gorgeous Shaw (still best known for her role in Eyes Wide Shut I think) because of her physical attributes; he describes her as looking ...

Jesse Kornbluth: Brothers Was the Best Film I Saw in 2005; Will the American Remake Be as Powerful?
Huffington Post Entertainment Blog —
Once upon a time in Denmark, there was a good brother and a bad brother.
When we meet them, Jannik, the bad brother, is just getting out of prison -- he's such a screwup he failed even at bank robbery.
Michael, the good brother, has a beautiful wife, two perfect daughters and a purpose: He's an Army officer about to go to Afghanistan to direct a reconstruction program.
And the good brother leaves, and, right off, his helicopter is shot down in Afghanistan, and an Army representative has the unhappy duty of knocking on the door of his home and delivering the ultimate bad news to his wife.

trailer break: ‘Brothers’
FlickFilosopher.com —
Ugh. This looks like it tells us the whole movie in two and a half minutes. I hope that’s not the case, and that it spins off into some direction we’re not expecting. Because with this cast -- Natalie Portman, Tobey Maguire, and Jake Gyllenhaal, oh my! -- and director Jim Sheridan, I really, really want to like it, and expect to like it. And I may still like it even if this trailer really has spoiled the whole thing. But why do they have to do that to us? Why make it so hard to go into the movie with no preconceived expectations? I understand most moviegoers need some sense of what a movie is about in order to decide whether or not they ...
