The more buzz a movie gets, the more people go to see it. When you see a couple shots in a row that you have preferred to see first in the full feature, that’s the goal of buzz.
An international trailer for writer/director Andrew Dominik‘s hard-boiled crime tale Killing Them Softly is short to the point.
Brad Pitt, who stars as hitman Jackie Cogan, recently discussed how Dominik chose to approach the film:
Well, what Andrew wanted to do with this film was interesting: He wanted to talk about America—and America as a business—but he wanted to hide it within this low-end crime drama. We in America have some grand ideals—and some very strong ideals—but a lot of times, those ideals are used for marketing.
The tough, tight crime thriller also stars Richard Jenkins, James Gandolfini, Ray Liotta, Scoot McNairy, and Ben Mendelsohn.

Described as both a blackly humorous gangster film and a gritty crime drama, Killing Them Softly is also said to have both, heavy political and societal undertones.
The film received mixed early reviews after it premiered at the Cannes Film Festival earlier this year, but fans will get their own chance to at least form their own opinion.
Well, the creative marketing team at Weinstein Company have released a stunning poster for this modern-times rework of George V. Higgins’ 1974 novel ‘Cogan’s Trade’ (earlier teaser poster featured a stylized gun as part of a face).
Directed by Andrew Dominik (The Assassination of Jesse James), Brad Pitt (featuring in slicked-back hair, leather coat and a shotgun in hand) stars as Jackie Cogan, a well-worn enforcer who finds himself in Boston with a mission to kill small-time crooks.
When asked whether the violence bothered him, the highly lauded Pitt said:
Not in any way,...

Fresh from Cannes, Killing Them Softly has released a couple of new clips, and a teaser website. The mob robbery film starring Brad Pitt, James Gandolfini, Ray Liotta, and Richard Jenkins, and based on Cogan’s Trade, revolves around three less than brilliant guys who decide to rob a mob poker game.
I’ve heard good things about the film from Cannes, and who doesn’t love a good ‘mob meets morons’ film? Mostly, I’m interested to see Richard Jenkins fit his character into this fiasco tale.
