A first Trailer for Jake Gyllenhaal and Tobey Maguire’s Brothers which also stars Natalie Portman has hit the net over at ET Online
Maguire plays Sam, a marine off on his fourth tour of duty while Gyllenhaal plays Tommy, his charming bad-boy brother, fresh out of jail. When Sam’s copter is shot down, he’s assumed dead and his wife Grace (Natalie Portman) tries to pull her life back together. Tommy helps, the line blurs, and in true Hollywood fashion, just as she starts to fall for Tommy … it turns out Sam is alive. He was tortured by the Taliban, but now returns home visibly on edge both from his experiences and Tommy’s inclusion in his family’s life.
Once upon a time, these two actors rivalled to wear the tights of your friendly neighbourhood Spiderman, and now are pairing up against each other in a love triange for the affections of the lovely Natalie Portman. The pair look like they could pass for Brothers, so it makes a good fit.
They didn’t offer an Embed, so pop over to ET Online to check it out!
i heard Tobey and Jake were uber competitive on set … shoot i’d be too if Natalie P was there. btw, Pearl Harbor was garbage, don’t even compare it.
I saw it and gotta say, you guys are off with the Pearl Harbor comparison. This is way more relevant to the times and the acting blows PH away .. I predict all 3 – Jake, Tobey, and Natalie win Oscars.
If you honestly expect any of those three to get an oscar for ‘brothers’ you are sorely mistaken. This is nothing more than a melodramatic movie of the week that prays on people’s sense of patriotism.
This is exactly the type of movie to find itself in the walmart bargain bin 2 months after stumbling onto DVD. Not oscar material.
Blind patriotism is the stuff that Oscars are made of.
I had to go see this film to go see what all the hype was about. I was really impressed. Jake Gyllenhaal was the biggest surprise for me. This was a different type of role for him, and he killed it. I heard he actually spent time with juvenile delinquents and ex-criminals to really capture the essence of the role. It seems to have paid off, because he was great.
I dont think the trailer spoils the movie, seems so, but the original is so much more than a love story so I think this will have more to it.
Even before they showed Tobey Magurie’s character coming home in the trailer I thought wow a modern day version of Pearl Harbor all that was missing was Donnie Darko yelling: “I THINK WORLD WAR 3 JUST STARTED!”
LOL hahahahah
Tobey Maguire as a marine… LMFAO!!! Spider-Man works for him because he has that whole nerdy computer geek thing going for him. But a marine?!
Not every Marine looks like John Cena.
And Tobey hardly has the physique of some scrawny computer nerd.
I think hes better at being a villain then a good guy. As a nerd he irritates the fuck out of me but when he plays a bad guy hes awesome….in that black and white movie he was a Nazi…and holy shit he surprised me…he was Ah-mazing
I think George Clooney was in it idk
Hes right you believe what you see to much if you think every marine is ripped.
Marines are the Navy army thats all there not some bad ass killing machines that would the Navy Seals Or Delta Force
Did we all see the same trailer?
This looks like Pearl Harbor meets the O.C., but with a crazy horror vibe thrown in half way through just because they could. Also, the entire audience actually began breaking out into laughter after it ended, which I can’t say I’ve ever seen happen before for a supposedly serious drama.
Sad stuff
I hate how this trailer spoils the entire goddamn movie for the audience. What Rodney forgets to mention is that this is a remake of the Danish Susanne Bier film also titled Brothers. The original was a bit melodramatic but it was also quite excellent. The twist in the original was that you never knew that the husband was still alive.
This trailer is before Public Enemies.
I thought it was better then the other trailers I saw.
well, the trailer pretty much showed the whole movie… left absolutely nothing to the imagination.
always said those two looked alike.Time to redeem yourselves Jake an Tobey(s3).
it was a very well made trailer. Hope the movie is as interesting
I’ve never seen a trailer with a bigger personality disorder then that one.
The director was responsible for 2 of Daniel Day-Lewis’ best performances ever, My Left Foot and In the Name of the Father. The Boxer was awesome too. I’ll check this out by default. The guy did make Get Rich or Die Tryin but everyone has a blemish on their record at one point in their career.
@Kristina – It TOTALLY looks like a Lifetime movie.
I’ll give it a view on DVD.
Looks like a Lifetime movie. No thanks.
I gotta say, this trailer blew me away. I had clue what this film was even about and when Tobey Maguire’s character came into it, it sucked me right in. It was like a twist in the trailer itself. Maguire looks like a crazy bastard, let the war of these brothers begin!
This doesn’t look like anything special. It has the same premise as Pearl Harbor and the trailer didn’t spark any interest in me. It almost felt like a made-for-TV movie.
I myself feel like it’s a bit early to cast judgment, but I am getting the same kind of picture.
isnt this the plot to Pearl Harbor?
don’t be rediculous, that took place in WWII, this is obviously….wait a minute.
That was my first thought as well LOL this will be a boar.
A boar is a pig.
Yea it is LOL you know what I meant
liking the cast.. i’ll ForgIve tobey foR Spiderman Three.
looking forward to seeing a trailer!!!!!!!!
