New International Trailer for 'State of Play'

Monday, March 9, 2009 at 11:59PM

There's a new trailer for State of Play, the new smarty pants political thrilla starring Russell Crowe, Ben Affleck, Helen Mirren, and Rachel McAdams. The film is based on a BBC series made earlier this decade, and the new version was co-written by Matthew Michael Carnahan, Billy Ray, and Tony Gilroy.

I'm always interested in how that works. We don't know, at face value, if they wrote together, if they were working on parts of the script concurrently, or if one guy wrote a huge chunk of a new draft based on the other guy's script. They're not exactly the best fit, stylistically, so I'd be curious to learn how that went exactly. One thing I can say is they've good three damn good writers on the job.

So take a look at the new trailer, but we must warn you, it is intended for international audiences, so if you're in the United States, it might not have the same impact. Just kidding.

This one has been bounced around a little bit, but now it's pretty much set in stone: We'll get State of Play on April 17th.
