Trailer Tuesday: American Sniper (2014)

After directing the slightly disappointing Jersey Boys (2014) - click here to see my review - Clint Eastwood is back in the directorial chair. His new film, American Sniper, is set to be a much greater success. And if the trailer is anything to go by, it certainly will get audiences hooked.

The movie is based on Chris Kyle's autobiography of the same title. The Navy S.E.A.L has been acknowledged as the deadliest sniper in American military history. His confirmed kill count reached 160 deaths out of 255 claimed kills. He served four tours during the Iraq War and was awarded with various medals for his service.

Bradley Cooper plays Kyle and the movie spans his military career. Sienna Miller also stars as Kyle's wife, Taya Renae Kyle. 

The trailer is very tense and I am definitely intrigued to find out more.

The movie will be released in the States on Christmas Day, but UK audiences will have to wait until 16th January 2015.

Trailer Tuesday: Foxcatcher (2014)

Today's Trailer Tuesday comes straight after its huge praise and success at the Cannes Film Festival. This week Ticket Stub's choice is Foxcatcher.

The movie is based on the true story of Olympic wrestling champion Mark Schultz and his relationship with paranoid schizophrenic mentor, John du Pont. The film is based on Mark Schultz's autobiography and the movie has already received enormous acclaim from critics. 

Starring Channing Tatum and an almost unrecognisable Steve Carell, the movie looks to be dark, dramatic and gripping. I do love it when comedic actors take on the more serious roles - and they are usually tremendous at it - I'm mainly thinking of Jim Carrey in The Truman Show (1998) and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004). Foxcatcher also features Mark Ruffalo, Vanessa Redgrave and Sienna Miller. 

Check out the trailer below and let me know what you think.
