The Nines Trailer
(Quicktime/Windows Media Version)
WTF? No Seriously, WTF? That is one weird trailer. Honestly, after watching I still have no idea what the movie is about? perhaps it’s a bout a guy living with nine different versions of himself? Some parts of the trailer seem to point to something like that, but there a whole lot of other things in there that seem to go much beyond something like that.
The Nines has gotten some pretty good reviews since it premiered in Sundance. And John August, who wrote and directed the movie, is certainly a very talented screenwriter. So I was already interested in the movie, and the trailer made me more curious about it. But if I knew nothing about the film and I watched that trailer, I’m not sure what my reaction would have been.

The overlapping storyline of the Nines resolves itself nicely at the end… and, although Reynolds is a versatile actor, it was Melissa McCarthy who did a particularly great job of adding color to the whole thing.
