Must Watch: Ron Howard's Frost/Nixon Trailer - Back Up!

Frost/Nixon Trailer

Universal has officially released the first trailer Ron Howard's Frost/Nixon and we're running it again for your viewing pleasure. The film retells the story behind the post-Watergate television interviews held between British talk-show host David Frost (played by Michael Sheen) and former president Richard Nixon (played by Frank Langella). Given the Democratic National Convention is about to kick off and the big election is just over two months away, Hollywood is throwing out every big political movie they've got before it all goes down. Frost/Nixon looks to be on the better side, coming from Ron Howard and using the same actors from the theatrical play. With a high quality trailer, this definitely does look like it'll deliver.

Frost/Nixon is directed by actor and filmmaker Ron Howard, of Backdraft, Apollo 13, Ransom, A Beautiful Mind, Cinderella Man, and The Da Vinci Code. The screenplay was adapted from the play by British playwright Peter Morgan, of The Queen and The Other Boleyn Girl previously. Universal is releasing Frost/Nixon in limited theaters starting on December 5th in time for Oscar contention.

Hmm. Definitely looks like it could be good. Not completely sold, yet.

Looks promising! but yeah, the editing and music in this trailer felt a bit old.

Interesting…too many political movies though, my head's hurting.

I'm sold. I think this looks really good but I know a little bit more about the background of this so maybe that's why I think it looks so compelling.

Yeah, just because the Fountain music is amazing doesn't mean that it fits in with everything…

Wait… call this before my time, but did Nixon really talk like that? I mean, seriously? Move over Batman, the gold medal for most ridiculous movie voice must be handed over.

Hmm..
It looked good, but I think they could have cast Nixon a little bit better..
The guy was a great actor.. Just not very Nixon-esque

The trailer has been added again courtesy of Universal in high definition. I'm still a bit put off by the song from The Fountain at the end, but otherwise it looks pretty damn good!

The play is amazing and these actors were perfect onstage and I think it will go to film well…I think it has the chops to win an Oscar too

Looks to be a good quality film, but I think we just saw the whole thing in that trailer?

Eli on Aug 23, 2008

It will take awhile to used to Langella's voice…but I think it will be fine as we immerse ourselves in the movie. Sir Tony's was better, IMHO

It's good to see Clint Howard is going to be back on the big screen. To think it all started for him as the little kid, in the cowboy outfit eating a sandwich, on the Mayberry sidewalk. CLINT RULES!

I think it looks great. I also think Clint Mansell's music at the latter part of the trailer adds a different element, and makes it even better.

It's definitely a timely sort of film.
