You Give It All Away: Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz Find Their Dream House

I’m on a total Daniel Craig roll this week; why not keep it going? And yes, dude is looking mighty fine with his lovely movie/real life wife Rachel Weisz and beautiful neighbor Naomi Watts standing by (just in case something should happen to Rachel?). But I am a little confused by this trailer. It starts out all Amityville Horror-ish; nice family moves into haunted house where other family was murdered…blah blah blah. And you think, oh—been there done that, but at least this family is super hot. Then, the trailer goes into over-explanation mode, possibly even ruining the entire plot. Why? Is it because they were afraid we wouldn’t be interested enough to see the movie if it looked like an Amity retread? Yes, the reveal is more interesting, but haven’t they given it all away? Or have they? I’m hoping there’s something else up Jim Sheriden’s (The Boxer, In the Name of the Father, My Left Foot) sleeve.

Have a look. And while you’re in there, please tell me if the cast is trying to be American or not, because the accents are all over the place.


Here’s the film’s second poster:

I prefer the first:

Dream House also stars Marton Csokas (The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King, the Fellowship of the Ring, The Bourne Supremacy) and Jonathan Potts (Devil, Breach) and hits theaters September 30, 2011.

Didn't watch the trailer, but let me guess the ending. Somehow, the two murdered little girls are actually Naomi Watts and Rachel Weitz and this is hell or a dream or something.

I hate to say it (I do!), but DCraig is reaaaalllly fighting the hot in that header picture.

I do like the second poster, though. "I like wallpaper." {say in "I like turtles" voice}

Don't want to know so I'll avoid the trailer. I already want to see this so I'll just plan to go in blind. That's the best way. What Lies Beneath was seriously hampered by the reveal-nearly-everything marketing campaign.

Yeah. Gotta think there're still some secrets left unrevealed. Looks to be more 6th Sense than Amityville

They are all using American accents except for Daniel Craig.

WhatEVER.

SKELETON KEY! THAT'S the money.

Isn't that poster a Garden State reference? That fucking movie still won't leave me alone! Even Napoleon Dynamite eventually got off my back!

Against my own wishes, the trailer piqued my interest a bit. I might give this a shot, provided I don't have to spend any of my money on it.

Based on watching a different movie, I am kind of wondering if the big twist that ties it all together isn't the same. It would work rather well.

I don't care for haunted house movies, so odds are I wouldn't have watched this until it showed up on basic cable ten years from now anyway. But for crying out loud! They showed the whole movie!

This is the worst wad-shooting trailer i've seen since that Harrison Ford bathtub movie.

"What a great house. And cheap, too. We really made out, eh?"

GEEEEEEEEETTTTTT OOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUTTTTTTTTT

"... too bad we can't stay."

Also, I'm kind of with Mutt. The only haunted House I still bother with is the one on Fox Monday nights.

"Too bad we can't stay."

That never fails to crack me up.

After 20 seconds, I paused. I'm such a wuss. Pretty people, but I'm staying away. Blergh!

Creepy dead twins? It's totally The Shining, you guys.

Posted by: Even Stevens at July 22, 2011 2:23 AM

Ok I wrote that before watching the trailer, it's definitely Shutter Island meets The Sixth Sense
