THE DAMNED UNITED 5 Clips with Michael Sheen
Check out 5 clips from THE DAMNED UNITED starring Michael Sheen, Timothy Spall, Jim Broadbent, and directed by Tom Hooper.
The Damned United Synopsis: Set in 1960s and 1970s England, THE DAMNED UNITED tells the confrontational and darkly humorous story of Brian Cloughs doomed 44 day tenure as manager of the reigning champions of English football Leeds United. Previously managed by his bitter rival Don Revie (Colm Meaney), and on the back of their most successful period ever as a football club, Leeds had an aggressive and cynical style of football - an anathema to the principled yet flamboyant Brian Clough, who had achieved astonishing success as manager of Hartlepool and Derby County building teams in his own vision with trusty lieutenant Peter Taylor. Taking the Leeds job without Taylor by his side, with a changing room full of Dons boys, would lead to an unheralded examination of Cloughs belligerence and brilliance over 44 days. This is that story. The story of The Damned United. Jim Broadbent plays Sam Longson, Derby Chairman.
The Damned United will be released in NY and LA this Friday, October 9, 2009. Watch the clips below. You can also watch the trailer here.
THE YOUNG VICTORIA New Movie Trailer with Emily Blunt
Check out the new trailer from THE YOUNG VICTORIA starring Emily Blunt, Rupert Friend, Paul Bettany, Miranda Richardson, Jim Broadbent, Mark Strong, Thomas Kretschmann, Harriet Walter, and directed by Jean-Marc Vallée.
The Young Victoria Synopsis: The Young Victoria is set in the period from 1836, the year before Victoria ascended the throne, to 1840, the year she married Prince Albert, and revises the widely held picture of Queen Victoria as an elderly widow dressed in black. In addition to being a love story and family drama, the film explores the idea of instant celebrity – one minute Victoria is living under virtual house arrest, the next she is the most famous woman in the world.
The Young Victoria will be released to theaters on December 18, 2009 (limited). Watch the trailer below. You should also check more photos here.
THE DAMNED UNITED Movie Pictures with Michael Sheen
Check out pictures from THE DAMNED UNITED starring Michael Sheen, Timothy Spall, Jim Broadbent, and directed by Tom Hooper.
I posted the trailer for The Damned United not too long ago, and it's definitely a football (and by football I mean soccer) movie targeted at football fans. Although Michael Sheen looks to be giving another great performance.
The Damned United is going to be at the 2009 Toronto International Film Festival and will be released to theaters on October 9th, 2009.
The Damned United Synopsis: Set in 1960's and 1970's England, The Damned United tells the confrontational and darkly humorous story of Brian Clough's doomed 44 day tenure as manager of the reigning champions of English football Leeds United. Previously managed by his bitter rival Don Revie, and on the back of their most successful period ever as a football club, Leeds was perceived by many to represent a new aggressive and cynical style of football - an anathema to the principled yet flamboyant Brian Clough, who had achieved astonishing success as manager of Hartlepool and Derby County building teams in his own vision with trusty lieutenant Peter Taylor. Taking the Leeds job without Taylor by his side, with a changing room full of what in his mind were still Don's boys, would lead to an unheralded examination of Clough's belligerence and brilliance over 44 days. This is that story. The story of The Damned United.

PERRIER'S BOUNTY Movie Pictures with Cillian Murphy
Check out pictures from PERRIER'S BOUNTY starring Cillian Murphy, Jodie Whittaker, Jim Broadbent, Brendan Gleeson, and directed by Ian FitzGibbon.
Perrier's Bounty is part of the Special Presentations lineup at the 2009 Toronto International Film Festival.
Well, since Cillian Murphy made my list of the top 10 actors that I would go see in anything, it probably comes as no surprise that I absolutely want to see this movie. Plus the fact that Jim Broadbent is also in the movie, and that the story sounds really fun doesn't hurt either. Oh how I wish I could make it to the festival this year!
Perrier's Bounty Synopsis: When Michael's (Cillian Murphy) debt to Dublin kingpin Darren Perrier (Brendan Gleeson) is called in and one of Perrier's goons accidentally ends up dead, Michael escapes to the mountains with his father Jim (Jim Broadbent) and best friend, Brenda. Flat broke, on the run and with only 24 hours to pay up, Michael is forced to confront his true feelings for Brenda and make amends with his father. However, with Perrier and his gang in hot pursuit, time is running out for Michael and only fate, a bit of luck and possibly a gang of savage dogs will save him, in this cracking gangster comedy.

This sounds like the Victoria version of the movie Elizabeth. But I do like Emily Blunt and a lot of the cast as well, plus the trailer looks good. I might give it a shot.
