Today in trailer happy hour: angry cowboys, Mr. Rogers, and a whole lot of Jake Gyllenhaal
Welcome back to Trailer Happy Hour, where you can walk right in, sit right down, and baby, let your TV and movie teasers and promos hang down. Today, we’ve got Jean-Claude Van Damme fighting people in a submarine, Mr. Rogers doing whatever’s pretty much the exact opposite of that, and a double dose of Jake Gyllenhaal, so let’s dive in:
First up: The Sisters Brothers, a sort of Western/dark comedy/crime thriller starring Joaquin Phoenix and John C. Reilly as the titular siblings. Based on a novel by Patrick deWitt, the film co-stars Jake Gyllenhaal as a buddy of the Brothers, plus Riz Ahmed as the guy they’ve been hired to track down and (presumably) kill. Tonally, the whole thing darts all over the place, but it does get the official Trailer Happy Hour Award For Changing The Tempo Of A Pop Song For Emotional Effect, which should help it plenty when it arrives at the box office later this year.
