Paul Giamatti in Shoot 'Em Up
Pretty damn cool. The promo reel for Shoot 'Em Up looks good. Sure, it may not be up to par with the animatics we saw back in 2005, but it is definitely getting there.
Shoot 'Em Up Promo Reel
When I first watched the animatics for Shoot 'Em Up I compared the film to a Run Lola Run with guns blazing. The promo reel doesn't necessarily look like this, but that's OK since it seems like New Line Cinema is way more interested in the cool factor. You got Clive Owen behind a gun for heck's sake, of course it is cool!
Where the trailer works is with its music, cool-as-shit six-shooter credits, and non-stop action at the end.
The best part is the ending line from Paul Giamatti. This film is obviously going to have Owen pulling off some pretty unbelievable shit including the deaths of countless no-name henchmen while his character remains, well, undead. Giamatti's character responds to this fact with, "My God do we really suck, or is this guy really that good?"
I even appreciated the little '007' joke.
