It looks like Warner Bros Pictures had a trailer deadline for the release of The Departed. Early this morning the studio released the first trailer for 300 and now they have released the first domestic trailer for Blood Diamond starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Djimon Hounsou, Jennifer Connelly and James Purefoy.
Though I am still enchanted by the 300 trailer, this film looks pretty damn solid.
Blood Diamond Trailer
Set against the backdrop of civil war and chaos in 1990s Sierra Leone, Blood Diamond is the story of Danny Archer (Leonardo DiCaprio), a South African mercenary, and Solomon Vandy (Djimon Hounsou), a Mende fisherman. Both men are African, but their histories as different as any can be, until their fates become joined in a common quest to recover a rare pink diamond that can transform their lives. While in prison for smuggling, Archer learns that Solomon - who was taken from his family and forced to work in the diamond fields - has found and hidden the extraordinary rough stone. With the help of Maddy Bowen (Jennifer Connelly), an American journalist whose idealism is tempered by a deepening connection with Archer, the two men embark on a trek through rebel territory, a journey that could save Solomon's family and give Archer the second chance he thought he would never have.
Blood Diamond
The domestic trailer is very similar to the international version released a few weeks back. Both look great and it would seem that DiCaprio has two blockbusters coming at us this year with The Departed kicking off tomorrow.
Check out the trailer for Blood Diamond over at Quicktime.
Note to self: When I find a rare diamond, I keep that shit to myself.
Add to Heffee!
