The trailer for The Fall is one of the most promising (and beautiful) trailers I’ve seen in awhile. I have reservations because it’s directed by Tarsem – who helmed the pretty but dead-inside serial killer thriller The Cell -- but the vast change of subject matter and positive early raves I’ve seen make me optimistic.

Wow. That looked fantastic. Like a combination of the Princess Bride and Pan's Labyrinth.

The Cell was a deeply, deeply flawed movie.

It does look cool. But it is also Tarsem. The Cell was one of the worst things I saw that year. I always imagine Tarsem referring to himself in the third person.

True, but The Cell was so visually good that I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. The Fall is 1) written by different writers; 2) a non-studio personal project; and 3) getting good early reviews.

Reminds me of the Adventures of Baron Munchaussen at least in story.

I'm upset that back in 2000 when Tarsem directed The Cell, I knew that he was the director of "Losing My Religion". Why did I remember that? Why do I not know anything else he has done? Why is he known as "Acclaimed"?

The trailer is really cool the Fincher and Jonze involvment, although probably minimal at best, is still cool. At least the film is being marketed towards me.
