I just wanted to alert anyone expecting a weekly edition of my "If I Picked the Winners" article that unfortunately, there will not be an article this week. Due to some unforeseen circumstances, I was not able to get the time to write the article this week. I apologize for the delay, but I will be back with another edition next week. Until then, I hope you all are checking out some good films (maybe even some I have mentioned in past articles).
As one of my "Top 5" anticipated films of the year (and given the fact that David Fincher directed my favorite film last year), I have been eagerly awaiting any news about David Fincher's version of the popular novel, "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo". This week, we got our first peak (which you can see for yourself down below) with the official release of the trailer. Interestingly, earlier in the week there was a "leak" of an "unofficial trailer" that is similar to the trailer below, with the exception of a few different images (there was some nudity in the "pirated" trailer). Although it wasn't an official release, many believe it was part of a planned guerilla marketing technique, which is given credence by the fact that Sony left the trailer up on Youtube all the way until they released the official trailer. If it was a planned marketing stunt by Sony, it was a smart one, but what's even more exciting is that the trailer makes the movie look great. I'll be excited to check it out when it roles around Christmas time this December.
