Video - The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo – Red Band Trailer Leaked – Or was it?

It’s being called the feel bad movie for Christmas.

Everybody has been dying to see an official movie trailer.

And now, the red band trailer has been leaked to the internet.

Or has it?

In what appears to be a leaked movie trailer for director David Fincher’s “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” we get our first glimpse of what’s to come.

But some experts are saying it was not a leak at all, but rather a clever marketing ploy by Sony to make it look like a leak.

“If this was a real leak, Sony would have pulled that trailer off YouTube so fast it wouldn’t have been funny. This was no leak. The sound is exceptional, and there is an American MPAA rating that shouldn’t be there in a European trailer. We think Sony knew exactly what they were doing”.

Agreed.

This looks an awful lot like a “Cloverfield” type viral video stunt by Sony to get the trailer into American hands, and the web site shown at the end of the trailer redirects to Sony’s main move portal.



Sneaky? Yes, and very effective.

This would not be the first time Sony has used viral videos to promote an upcoming project.

The film remake of the popular book is said to be costing $100 Million to complete and stars Daniel Craig, Christopher Plummer, Stellan Skarsgård, Rooney Mara, Embeth Davidtz.

For those not familiar with “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo” book, here is a little overview.

The original Swedish title translated into English as "Men Who Hate Women"), and is an award-winning crime novel by Swedish author and journalist Stieg Larsson, the first in his "Millennium series".

A complete plot summary can be found here on Wikipedia.

After seeing this movie trailer and knowing about the book trilogy – we can’t wait to see this movie.

Video - Man Proposes to Girlfriend in Movie Trailer – Greatest Marriage Proposal of All Time!

This is a story of how two people find true love – through a movie trailer.

Matt and Ginny were in love.

Matt wanted to surprise Ginny with a fantastic marriage proposal – so he came up with a brilliant idea.

Matt made a fake movie trailer and asked the local theater to run it while his girlfriend was there with her brother - while Matt waited outside. Once the trailer finished, he jumped into action and asked her to marry him.

In the trailer Matt films himself asking Ginny’s father if he can take his daughters hand in marriage.

Matt is not a big-wig Hollywood producer, but rather a humble insurance salesmen, but his sense of film techniques is amazing.

Ginny’s brother duped her into going to see “Fast Five” and she had no idea what was about to happen.

Matt had even wired the theater with cameras so he could capture the her reaction.

Ellen DeGeneres had the happy couple on her show Friday and the YouTube video of Matt’s proposal has already received over 14 million hits.

This is the greatest proposal video of all times, and is the cutest thing InfoStar has seen in a while.

Enjoy!

Antonio Banderas Bizarre Film “The Skin I Live In” Shocks Cannes – Video

We all know the Cannes Film Festival is a place for the Hollywood elite to rub shoulders and sell movies.

We also know that sometimes these smaller hard hitting films never see the light of day.

This year, mega star Antonio Banderas and writer producer Pedro Almodóvar were at Cannes to unveil Pedro’s latest film project “The Skin I live In”.

Okay, so how bad could it be?

It’s not so much bad as it is graphic in nature and spirit.

The story goes like this:

Banderas plays the role of Robert Ledgard, a brilliant surgeon with a beautiful young doughter. His daughter is brutally raped by a man, and the young girl ends up killing herself due to the traumatic event. And Banderas cuts off, and preserves her face.

Okay, so far it’s not that bad right?

Later in the film, Banderas tracks down and kidnaps the man who raped his daughter. But instead of turning him over to the police, or killing him out of a crime of passion, he does the most shocking thing ever imaginable for a plot.

He gives the man a sex change and transplants the face of his daughter onto him. To make matters worse, he rapes the man and has sex with him – as a woman – now wearing his daughters face.

Told you.

IMDB describes the film as being based on Thierry Jonquet's novel "Mygale", a revenge tale that tells the story of a plastic surgeon on the hunt for the men who raped his daughter.

But viewers at the Cannes film festival became a bit shocked during the screening and started to walk out due to the graphic nature of the plot.

One group of Americans that had been flown to Cannes, all expenses paid by the director, left in the middle of the film and never returned.

One U.S. citizen who left during the screening said,

"It was the fact that the victim was supposed to look like the doctor's daughter. I couldn't stop picturing the girl in the beginning of the movie when he was in bed with her, with him, later."

The movie is expected to be released in the United States in November 2011.

This is NOT a chick flick, so guys, don’t plan to take your date to see it or she may never look at you the same way again.
