hmm. what do you guys think?

i'm glad Keira kept her accent. the movie itself looks kinda Hallmark-y though. seems a bit sappy. i don't know, i mean, i hope it's better than the trailer.

such a great cast, i'd hate for them to be wasted. something must have attracted everyone to that script for all those years. seems like it might be a kind of spin on A Christmas Carol.

i'm kind of impressed that Keira gets third billing here. that must mean she has a bigger part than I thought.

I echo everything you said. I'm not sure this'll be such a great movie judging by the trailer. :/

Jeez, the resident cynic is the only one who thought it looked good? I must be getting soft in my old age. 

That's right, I'm love's bitch, but at least I'm man enough to admit it.

Bet there'll be lots of quotes from it on inspirational posters and greetings cards.

Actually to me the trailer looks better than what I expected to be. It's a Xmas movie ...
BTw Keira was in NY last night with James for Chanel jewlery party in her honor for the new collection.

I'm not crazy about what I saw so far. It was a teaser trailer and I'm not sure they did such a good job of putting the trailer together, which is sad with such an insanely talented cast.

Wasn't the script for the movie on the esteemed black list though? There has to be something that attracted each of these actors to the movie.

Most of the actors in the movie are quite picky when it comes to picking roles, especially Edward Norton, so there has to be something that we're not privy to yet...I hope.

Having said that, even if the movie doesn't turn out to be a critical or even box office success, I'm just glad Keira is in a movie this year, and sharing the screen with some of the best actors in the business - of which she is one herself.

I think it looks good too. I think it will be more meta/philosophical than the trailer is letting on.

frankly Keira working with Edward Norton is like a dream come true. And another contemporary credit with lots of period drama on the horizon is probably a good thing.

The reviews of Collateral Beauty are coming out and ... they are not very positive.
