'DEVIL'S KNOT' TRAILER
REESE WITHERSPOON & COLIN FIRTH IN CRIME DRAMA
Your trailer for this Thursdays brings us a strange pairing of Reese Witherspoon and Colin Firth in DEVIL'S KNOT true story drama which will come into cinemas early next year. Based on the true crime book by Mara Leveritt, DEVIL'S KNOT tells the compelling story of three teenagers accused of the brutal 1993 murder of three 8-year old boys in Memphis - two of them sentenced to life imprisonment and one to death. The film explores the lives of deeply misunderstood outsiders, their families and communities, and their darkest fantasies. The conviction of the West Memphis Three riled the American justice system, shocked a tightly knit religious town and outraged the nation. Dane Dehaan and Kevin Durand also star.
Wouw 'DEVIL'S KNOT' great movie , and great trailer Dezmond , i love it .
ReplyDeleteCheers
it is an intense one!
DeleteDEVIL'S KNOT sound intriguing. I'm all for based on real life stuff..in real life.
ReplyDeleteyep, those films are usually double disturbing because you know the story really happened
DeleteKelsey is such a great actor so I look forward to his new show. Oh, and I wouldn't mind seeing Sascha's flesh and bone. LOL
ReplyDeleteI bet you wouldn't, sister :)
Deleteit's great to see Julian Sands never miss a beat... I hope the trailer is as good as it looks... thank you, Dez!
ReplyDeletewhy, be welcome, kind sir!
DeleteThat was a pretty powerful trailer for Devils Knot!
ReplyDeleteyep, an intense true story
DeleteI agree that was a pretty intense trailer for Devil's Knot.
ReplyDeleteespecially since it is a true story
DeleteDevil's Knot looks really creepy. It's unusual for Reese Witherspoon to be in such a dramatic movie!
ReplyDeleteit is, but she has a number of similar projects coming up in the future
DeleteI didn't watch the trailer (no sound on my computer and hubby is working on his).
ReplyDeleteit's a bit too dark and depressing
DeleteOhhhhh.
DeleteDevil's Knot, Looks disturbing but rather good! Excellent cast too.
ReplyDeletewith Firth and his rather strange Southern accent :)
DeleteI predict 'Devils Knot' will bomb at the box office. But, that doesn't mean I don't want to see what looks like to be a high quality, entertaining film. It's just that, with movies being so expensive nowadays, people will more likely spend their money on hobbits and avengers (movies I also very much want to see).
ReplyDeleteYep, it is definitely not a film to watch in a cinema, more for a home or TV watch.
DeleteDK looks good
ReplyDeleteIt does
DeleteI never expected to see Martin Lawrence and Kelsey Grammer working together. An odd pair, indeed.
ReplyDeleteyep, but you can imagine them together in a comical pairing :)
