Not sure how good the film will be, the but the
credit sequence is quite pretty.

Impressive, oh please god let this be good, I'm a big Márquez fan, I just pray Mike Newell doesn't cock it up too much. It so deserved someone better at the helm, I like John Leguizamo though and I haven't seen much of Benjamin Bratt, outside of Miss Congeniality, so hope remans...

Ahem... Javier Bardem?
And I don't know... the ultimate Marquez adaptation will always remain Terayama's
Farewell to the Ark.

I agree; it kind of brings to mind what you'd see on an "Animation Celebration" compilation a couple decades ago (although this is very brief compared to most of those). Too bad it's an end title, though...whatever happened to the elaborate
main title sequence? But that's another topic.

I'm interested in this one, but have to admit I was thrown off when I saw Leguizamo cast as Lorenzo. I may have characters mixed up but that was Fermina's dad, right? I think Bardem and Bratt are excellent choices for their respective roles, though. Very curious to see how this one turns out.

That is an absolutely horrendous trailer.

It's almost a parody of cheesy period-piece movie trailers. Whoever wrote that voiceover narration should be ashamed of himself. The earnest movietrailerguy performance of it is equally silly. The "original songs by Shakira" title card is the coup de grâce though.

Wow, so did they put that together for the Oprah audience since she just picked the book for her book club thingy? That's the audience that trailer would appeal to.

Wait, you guys didn't hear the earthy and magical rhythms of "Hips Don't Lie" when reading this book. I still berate Terayama for not using Gloria Estefan in his film.

Yeah, it appears to be in the league of Hallstrom's Casanova.
