Watch THIS MEANS WAR Trailer - Chris Pine & Tom Hardy Fight Over Reese Witherspoon!
Watch two vastly rising Hollywood stars try and kill each other to date Reese Witherspoon and wonder to yourself... is she really worth the effort?
Before Chris Pine and Tom Hardy got to work on much more interesting geek credit films in Star Trek 2 (that films in January) and the near complete The Dark Knight Rises respectively, the two vastly rising up and comers decided to do a broad action comedy with Reese Witherspoon and Charlie's Angels & Terminator Salvation director McG. The result is This Means War, a slickly directed but completely ridiculous high concept film belonging to this sub-comedy genre of spy movies where Knight & Day and Mr. and Mrs. Smith are housed. Which I guess despite how loud and offensive they are, can sometimes turn out to be amusing. Well as long as you can buy into a film where things that would usually kill one another don't leave a scratch on these pretty leads and are shrugged off as nothing, then you are exactly the kind of target audience for this. Evans & Hardy star as two best friend and black-ops spies who wage war against other each with the best weapons & technology the CIA has to offer after falling in love with the same woman (Reese Witherspoon), with New York City as an unfortunate backdrop. Watch the trailer below and tell us what you think, especially of Hardy's performance during the laptop switching reveal of Reese as both of their lovers... do you think his heart is in this one?* http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0bgeU0ARyZs There could be some mindless laughs but I think everyone involved understands its a paycheck job. The script has been floating around for a decade , and has been passed on by Sam Worthington, Seth Rogen, Bradley Cooper, Justin Timberlake, Colin Farrell and probably more. Cooper and Worthington had both agreed to star just before these two, before both fully understanding how bad the script actually was. Its a typical 21st century Fox tentpole and it'll come to our screens on February 23rd, 2012. P.S. - I'm not ragging on Hardy. He's just done Warrior, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, The Wettest County in the World, The Dark Knight Rises and soon Mad Max: Fury Road. That's a helluva versatile and challenging bunch of pictures right there and if he wants to take it easy for a few months and capitalise on his new found stardom for wads of cash doing something like this... more the power to him.
