GOOD trailer featuring Viggo Mortensen
GOOD premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival but despite some early raving reviews, the buzz has gone eerily and worryingly quiet since. I can't help but think it's the accent thing again, a movie about German history with German characters but with actors talking in English. It seems to be a move backwards, especially just a year after Viggo Mortensen himself won an Academy Award nomination for his fantastic transformation into a Russian (accent included) for EASTERN PROMISES. But in any event, this movie looks really strong in every other aspect. It's the tale of how good and moral German men became wrapped up into the Nazi regime and were seduced, often by their own cowardice and weak mindedness to become part of something evil. Jason Isaacs, Mark Strong, Steven Mackintosh and Gemma Jones co-star. The movie still has no release date and much like Viggo's other upcoming movie THE ROAD, it does look like it's going to be a quietly released 2009 film, unfortunately. Awards Daily have premiered a new poster for the movie, which I have featured below after the jump...
