Not wanting to miss the weekend, Universal Pictures
has done a late release of the movie trailer for the upcoming Spielberg
thriller Munich.
I don't know how much you may know about the story, but this puppy has got
some intense sequences; and who knew so much shit gets blown up!
Munich Trailer
This first trailer for Munich is no doubt
impressive. The action/suspense looks good, the story looks great, and the
acting looks fantastic; especially from Eric Bana.
Munich is an historical thriller set in
the aftermath of the 1972 massacre of 11 Israeli athletes at the Munich
Olympics. Universal Pictures will release the film in the United States
and Canada on December 23, 2005; DreamWorks Pictures will handle international
marketing and distribution. Munich recounts the dramatic story
of the secret Israeli squad assigned to track down and assassinate 11 Palestinians
believed to have planned the 1972 Munich massacre -- and the personal toll
this mission of revenge takes on the team and the man who led it. Eric Bana
(Troy) stars as the Mossad agent charged with leading the band
of specialists brought together for this operation.
Munich Movie Poster
Inspired by actual events, the narrative is based on a number of sources,
including the recollections of some who participated in the events themselves.
The script is the first feature film written by Tony Kushner, winner of
the Pulitzer Prize, the Tony Award and many other awards for his epochal
Broadway drama "Angels in America" as well as its Emmy Award-winning adaptation
for HBO. The film is produced by Kathleen Kennedy, Barry Mendel, Spielberg
and Colin Wilson.
The international cast also includes Daniel Craig (Layer Cake),
Geoffrey Rush (Shine), Mathieu Kassovitz (Birthday Girl),
Hanns Zischler (Walk on Water) and Ciaran Hinds (Andrew Lloyd
Webber's The Phantom of the Opera).
