Cemetary Junction Trailer Very Unkind to Ralph Fiennes

10 July 2009 2:46 AM, PDT | From Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news

Cemetery Junction, a new comedy written and directed by the creators of the British version of The Office, Ricky Gervais and Stephan Merchant, has taken a new approach for its first teaser trailer. While no footage of the actual movie is presented, Gervais and Merchant instead appear as themselves and proceed to bring out one of the movie's stars, Ralph Fiennes, to unmercifully poke fun at the typically serious actor.

The movie, about three men working at an insurance office in the 1970's, also stars Emily Watson, Matthew Goode, and Julia Davis. Cemetery Junction is set for release on April 7, 2010. Check out the trailer below:

Hilarious Teaser for Gervais' 'Cemetery Junction'

9 July 2009 8:31 PM, PDT | From GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news

I watched this teaser a handful of times, and it's still funny. Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant (The Office, Extras) are working together again, this time on a film called Cemetery Junction.

The film explores the lives of three men working for a British insurance company in the 1970s. In addition to Ralph Fiennes, featured in the teaser, the cast also features Emily Watson and Matthew Goode. The movie will be released in the UK on April 7th, and a U.S. release date will probably follow soon thereafter.

But please, check out the teaser; it's a great way to spend the next minute of your life.

Ricky Gervais Clumsily Introduces Ralph Fiennes in 'Cemetery Junction' Teaser

9 July 2009 12:15 PM, PDT | From Cinematical.com | See recent Cinematical news

Having co-created "The Office" (the original) and "Extras" (which I've had sitting on my shelf to watch for ages now), Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant have most recently seen fit to co-write and direct their first film together, the seventies-set Cemetery Junction. With filming just having begun less than a month ago, though, the duo has nonetheless whipped up a brief but funny teaser trailer with the help of star Ralph Fiennes -- an actor not exactly known for his comedic prowess...

(You know what? Scratch that: all his guff served In Bruges and that Wallace & Gromit movie quite well.)

Also starring Emily Watson, Matthew Goode, and (yes) Gervais and Merchant themselves, Cemetery Junction should hit theaters at some point in 2010 (the UK has an April date, so here's hoping the Us release is similarly spring-like). With any luck, maybe they'll coax their colleagues into similarly amusing appearances before the film's finished.

First Teaser for Cemetery Junction

9 July 2009 5:36 AM, PDT | From TwitchFilm.net | See recent Twitch news

I just can’t help but find this funny… no actual footage, but who needs it.

Cemetery Junction Tells the funny, touching and universal story of being trapped in a small town and dreaming of escape. In 1970s England, three blue-collar friends spend their days joking, drinking, fighting and chasing girls. Freddie (Christian Cooke) wants to leave their working-class world but cool, charismatic Bruce (Tom Hughes) and lovable loser Snork (Jack Doolan) are happy with life the way it is. When Freddie gets a new job as a door-to-door salesman and bumps into his old school sweetheart Julie (Felicity Jones), the gang are forced to make choices that will change their lives for ever.

Ralph Fiennes (The Reader, Schindlers List), Ricky Gervais (The Invention of Lying, Ghost Town), Emily Watson (Synecdoche, New York, Breaking the Waves) and Matthew Goode (Watchmen, Brideshead Revisited) feature alongside stars-of-the-future Christian Cooke, Felicity Jones, Tom Hughes and Jack Doolan.

First Look - Teaser Trailer For Cemetery Junction

8 July 2009 12:31 PM, PDT | From FilmShaft.com | See recent FilmShaft.com news

Anyone who appreciates Ricky Gervais’ dry sense of humour will enjoy the brand new teaser trailer for Cemetery Junction, Gervais and Stephen Merchant’s first feature film!

The trailer doesn’t let much slip, in fact it lets nothing slip at all, as it consists of a short skit between Gervais, Merchant and Ralph Fiennes. Who know Fiennes would be so comfortable being the butt of someone else’s jokes? Still, if you need a little chuckle this evening then the trailer below might just press that button for you.

Cemetery Junction is directed by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant and stars Christian Cooke, Jack Doolan, Felicity Jones, Tom Hughes, Ralph Fiennes, Emily Watson and Matthew Goode. The film hits UK shores on 7th April 2010.

7 Clips From Cold Souls

1 July 2009 2:22 PM, PDT | From cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news

Cold Souls isn't really the kind of movie you expect to see in the summer time-- it's a Sundance favorite starring Paul Giamatti, and featuring a plot about a company that extracts people's souls. But hey, counterprogramming has always been an effective tool, and we all may be in the mood for something a little more cerebral by the time the dog days of summer hit. Below we've got seven clips from the film, which introduce us to Giamatti and Emily Watson's warring couple, Giamatti's character's reason for having his soul extracted, and some kind of confrontation with a vaguely European and intimidating man. I admit, I can't really figure out what's going on in these scenes, but I assume seeing them in context would offer a lot. Anyway, check them all out below and get a look at what might turn out to be the smartest movie of

Cold Souls - Poster

1 July 2009 3:18 AM, PDT | From Latemag.com/film | See recent LateFilmFull news

Poster for dark comedy drama Cold Souls directed by Sophie Barthes.

Is your soul weighing you down?  Paul Giamatti has found a solution!   In the surreal comedy Cold Souls, Paul Giamatti plays an actor named… Paul Giamatti. Stumbling upon an article in The New Yorker about a high-tech company that extracts, deep-freezes and stores people’s souls, Paul very well might have found the key to happiness for which he’s been searching.  But, complications arise when he is the unfortunate victim of "soul-trafficking."  Giamatti’s journey takes him all the way to Russia in hopes of retrieving his stolen soul from an ambitious but talentless soap-opera actress. Balancing a tightrope between deadpan humor & pathos, and reality & fantasy, Cold Souls is a true soul searching comedy.  Also starring David Strathairn, Dina Korzun and Emily Watson.

"Cold Souls" - New images and the trailer embedded for the Paul Giamatti starrer. Read our review.

23 June 2009 | From Movie Jungle | See recent Movie Jungle news

Thursday Trailers: Cold Souls

19 June 2009 8:43 AM, PDT | From SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news

There has been much discussion on the debut film by Sophie Barthes, Cold Souls.  There is the inevitable comparison to Charlie Kaufman and the trailer is definitely reminiscent of Being John Malkovich.  But I think this film deserves a chance to be seen and word has been very positive so far.  I Heart Huckabees this is not (and thank God!!).  The film is a metaphysical satire about America’s obscene consumerist culture.  In an alternate world human Souls can be extracted and traded as commodities.  Paul Giamatti (playing a version of himself) tries the procedure on for size to get into a soulless character for the stage.  When the plan backfires he learns his soul has been stolen and sold in the black market in Russia.  Post modern humor ensues.  Also staring Emily Watson, Lauren Ambrose, Dina Korzun, and David Stratharin.

Giamatti enlists their services, intending to reinstate his soul once he survives the performance. But complications ensue when a mysterious, soul-trafficking “mule,” transporting product to and from Russia, “borrows” Giamatti's stored soul for an ambitious, but unfortunately talentless,

Two More Trailers: Giamatti's 'Cold Souls' and Fleischer's 'Zombieland'

18 June 2009 6:52 PM, PDT | From Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news

Apple has debuted two more trailers this afternoon starting with Cold Souls, a film starring Paul Giamatti as Paul Giamatti in a situation where he is finding himself struggling with his interpretation of Uncle Vanya and ultimately decides to take part in an "operation" of sorts that removes your soul from your body and puts it into deep-freeze. I saw the film as part of the Seattle International Film Festival and I can't say it is an instant classic, but it is definitely worth the watch, but then again most anything Giamatti is in falls into that category. The second trailer is for Zombieland, a film that looks like it is going to have a hard time not being compared to Shaun of the Dead, and if this trailer is any indication it won't be living up to that classic comedy horror. Zombieland stars Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone

Exclusive: 'Cold Souls' Poster Premiere!

15 June 2009 8:05 AM, PDT | From Cinematical.com | See recent Cinematical news

Click image below to view entire poster

Cinematical has just received this incredibly freaky exclusive poster for Cold Souls, which premiered at this past Sundance Film Festival and stars Paul Giamatti as an actor (appropriately named Paul Giamatti) who decides he wants to put some of his soul in storage in order to help better tackle a new role. Folks are already making comparisons to Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Being John Malkovich, though this isn't a Charlie Kaufman film -- it was written and directed by first-timer Sophie Barthes, and it also stars Emily Watson and David Strathairn.

Reporting for Cinematical at Sundance, James Rocchi had this to say about the film: "Cold Souls is a beautifully shot film, and it also becomes more than a little bit moving, as Giamatti struggles with a question we've all asked ourselves: Is it possible to remove the burden of
