Defiance trailer is online

I think Defiance will be in the big awards shows. This year has been WGA strike and almost every award shows cancelled. I think it is very intesting because this is the only year when Daniel can't be there. (last year, next year) But the most intresting, Steven Spielberg will receive the Golden Globe for his work and life next year. I hope Daniel will be there.

This looks like it'll be an excellent film - great to see the trailer.

Totally agree with the comments about Daniel's accent...a delicious growl indeed!

Firstsupergirl and redluna: Thank you. I'm OK. Don't worry.

Elaine_Figgis: That's a great option. I thought about that too. But I've noticed before they don't translate correct and that would only confuse me.

The online translation was actually quite good, I gathered approx. the same - I'm Danish so I understood most of the text. The movie looks quite good, normally I'm not particularly into these movies - too depressing, but it looks good! Besides Daniel of course, I'm also looking forward to see Alexa Davalos!

Just watched the trailer, and BOY am I looking forward to that. His accent was QUITE impressive!

Maybe I've missed something, but is there any word yet on when this is being released in the U.S.?

Just got to see the trailer and I had to watch it twice to be sure that it really was Daniel's voice... I think that with the accent he probably has to speak with a different part of his mouth than what he would use in English and that (possibly?) makes him sound quite different... I just think it sounds a bit silly, although his l's are particularly impressive.

I do think it is a bit ridiculous that when (presumably) all the people in the film speak some non-English language, they have to adopt a silly accent to show it... I have never understood why?!

I was a big WWII buff when I was a kid - actually did a paper on fighter planes for some history class way back in junior high, so I am looking forward to seeing this movie! I would also want to read the book, but it does not exist even in the biggest libraries of Finland...

PS Would have been glad to translate, had Elaine not found the online translator and I agree with Advo, the translation was pretty good everything considered!

The movie will come out in December and Quantum of Solace ( can't get used to that title yet

) a few weeks before... I need to put money aside right away, I'm afraid I'll be spending a LOT in theater next fall...

Thanks Red! I just don't want to buy it - my bookshelves are full with all the old stuff I have... That's why I've tried the libraries...

Where did you catch the release date, Sophie? If Defiance comes out in December, will it be eligble for Oscars of 2008?

agrippina · Post by **agrippina** » Sun Jan 27, 2008 7:13 pm

Honey, about 10 EUR/per book - might be cheaper to buy it!!

What do you mean, I am a little confused...

I did some checking up on Defiance and it seems to have been slated for a late 2008 release, which makes me wonder a bit about the extremely early teaser trailers?! Like almost a year before the release? Audiences will have time to get utterly bored with the flick...

I am a librarian, so maybe I can manage something for you

Sounds really late and I wonder if the promotour for Defiance and QoS overlap

Wow, I can't wait to see this movie! I hadn't heard anything about it.
