The funny trailer for the upcoming quirky comedy THE MEN WHO STARE AT GOATS has hit the web via Apple, you can watch it using the media player below. Psychic soldiers, now that is one for the books. This could go down either way..as one of the stupidest concepts or an instant classic. Jeff Bridges is one with his guru mojo, his K-Pax co-star Kevin Spacey always knows how to deliver a hilarious line with a straight face but the adventure will belong to Ewan McGregor and George Clooney who does goat-tipping with his mind. Watch out for Stephen Lang (Avatar) as he attempts to run through walls.
Directed by Clooney’s friend Grant Heslov, THE MEN WHO STARE AT GOATS will make its debut at the upcoming Toronto Film Festival ‘09.. I’m waiting to see two things.. if this is going to do better at the box office than Leatherheads.. and if the movie would get recognized at the Golden Globes for Best comedy.
Reporter Bob Wilton (Ewan McGregor) is in search of his next big story when he encounters Lyn Cassady (George Clooney), a shadowy figure who claims to be part of an experimental U.S. military unit. According to Cassady, the New Earth Army is changing the way wars are fought. A legion of “Warrior Monks” with unparalleled psychic powers can read the enemy’s thoughts, pass through solid walls and even kill a goat simply by staring at it. When the programme’s founder, Bill Django (Jeff Bridges), goes missing, Cassady’s mission is to find him in this quirky dark comedy, inspired by a real story. The film also stars Kevin Spacey
THE MEN WHO STARE AT GOATS opens November 6th, 2009
I like it a lot.
The humor is so dry and the cast is great.
