Ron Howard’s “Frost/Nixon” international trailer has hit the web. Some are calling it heavily-anticipated and we like the cast, but Ron Howard’s milquetoast cinema? Generally not so much. The story focuses on the post-Watergate television interviews between British talk-show host David Frost (British actor Michael Sheen) and former president Richard Nixon (the great Frank Langella).
The cast also includes Kevin Bacon, Rebecca Hall (“Vicky Cristina Barcelona”), Sam Rockwell, Oliver Platt and Toby Jones. “Frost/Nixon” hits theaters in limited release December 5th just in time to be considered for Oscar contention. This odd trailer (musically at least) not only features the Who, it features a song from Clint Mansell’s score to Darren Aronofsky’s “The Fountain.” God, people love recycling Mansell’s work for trailers. We guess he should take it as a compliment.
