Movies promoted in one theatre share a common cinematic past
Principals in the following upcoming films all starred together in which 2004 film?
Yes, it would seem that M. Night Shyamalan's The Village served the careers of its primary players well, not to mention his own filmmaking career. What prompted me to write about this was that on Sunday, Dad and I went to see Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and with the exception of Walk the Line, which was of course playing in the same theatre we were in, I noticed that films featuring the primary actors, actresses or writer/directors of The Village were promoted in some fashion before the feature. Shyamalan used Bryce Dallas Howard ("Ivy Walker" in The Village) for his upcoming Lady In The Water (whom we don't actually see in this first trailer). Adrien Brody ("Noah Percy") plays in King Kong, Willam Hurt ("Edward Walker") is in Syriana and Joaquin Phoenix ("Lucius Hunt") fills the role of Johnny Cash in Walk the Line (which Matt succinctly recommends).
Posted by Amber at November 22, 2005 02:47 PMi loved the girl in The Village and I was just wondering about her the other day when i went to see Walk the Line. realizing that j. phoenix looked familiar and remembering that i had seen him in The Village got me to thinking about her.
Lady in the Water sounds interesting, i wish it was coming out this weekend.
