slats7 Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Looks like they put a lot of effort into the unis, although the field turf at the Vet and Texas Stadium will (kinda) give it away.http://www.ropeofsilicon.com/trailers.php?id=2650 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebod39 Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 from my initail viewing of the trailer it looks like they tried to replicate the times as best to their ability. At first glance, kudos. Im sure there will be nuances here and there we'll catch.the movie itself looks looks like the next "Miracle". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Swamp Yankee Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 That is a wicked cool story. I saw something about the real guy on ESPN a couple years ago. I definitely want to the movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebod39 Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 sidenote: Mark Wahlberg always makes a damn good movie. For my money he's never been in a dud. I'm actually suprised he didn't get nominated for Boogie Nights or get mentioned when people talk about actors who know how to pick good movies. Italian Job, solid movie, The Big Hit , same thing.

swilson160 Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 Nice Dick Vermeil impression by Greg Kinnear. One problem though--throughout the trailer, he didn't cry once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paynomind Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 Trailer didnt work for me, but from the one still they had available, it looks pretty good. The numbers were sewn on that then, not screened? The patch is a very nice touch. Someone who cares must have been in charge.

pooter Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 The numbers were sewn on that then, not screened? The patch is a very nice touch. Someone who cares must have been in charge. *I believe* that the Eagles numbers were sewn on because of the bodies were made out of that "fishnet mesh" material. But, I could be wrong.I heard this guy on Jim Rome's show. It does sound interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puck Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 I guess this is the continuation of Disney's new marketting technique to reel in guys who aren't drooling over the prospects of an animated movie, by reliving a sports adventure. Miracle, Glory Road and now this movie. Wonder what next year's Disney-filmed Sports movie will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtrich11 Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 I enjoyed the attempt at making the uniforms and equipment appear as accurate as possible. I can't wait to have fun finding the stuff out of place, but it won't take me out of the movie. Now Remember the Titans was set in what, 1971? It had mid-80s facemasks and some of the equipment. Bad job. That distracted me a lot. There are old masks out there to hoard.Keep in mind that this movie is made by Disney, so expect any accuracies to be limited to the players and coaches NAMES only. They seem to fictionalize their "true stories". The truth is always more interesting that fiction. It's not a Disney movie, but Chariots of Fire is total BS. Basically all the pivotal points were redone. Rubbish!! But I digress. cafepress.com/artbyrichards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rtrich11 Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 But most real stories need a little reworkingThe movie United 93 is based on a lot of research. Disney or Spielberg would have added a Jet Li type of fight in the airplane. You can't ever be word-for-word in a bio movie, but when pivotal stuff is made up it's wasting your time. Going back to Chariots of Fire, some of those crucial, plot-developing races never occurred. Why bother to rewrite history?Anyway, I really hope this new movie is good. And I'm glad they got a costume designer/art director with a good eye. cafepress.com/artbyrichards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gothamite Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 But most real stories need a little reworkingThe movie United 93 is based on a lot of research. Research, with a fair amount of conjecture.I'm not saying make sweeping changes (although Shakespeare did, almost every single time he used an historical figure or event).But I'm saying that every real story needs a little reworking to make better drama. Nothing wrong with having a film "based on true events", or an entirely fictional story set against historical events - drama is not documentary. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database!
