About an hour ago, I saw an ad on TV for this movie. I had never
heard of it before. As I watched the 30-second ad, I thought, "Gee,
that looks like Tobey Maguire," and "Gee, that looks like Kieran
Culkin." Sure enough, I looked at the closing screen of the ad, and
there they were. Stupidly, as I looked at that, I forgot to notice
when the darned thing opens! hahaha

I will be seeing a media prescreening on Dec 9th.
As Bill said, it opens on the 10th. Generally the films that I get the
invitations to, turn out to be quite good. I'll let everyone know what I
think.

Around Xmas it opens in L.A. and New York, then nationally. But the
review gives fair warning: 2/3rds of the story has been cut to fit the
two hour running length for the US release. Tobey Maguire plays Homer
Wells, a role which launched Shane West from almost complete obscurity
before the L.A. production of the play straight to stardom in ABC's "Once
and Again."
The cutting ruins the part of Homer for anyone who has seen the play, and
Michael Caine is is gypped royally -- he might have scored a Best Actor
Oscar if he had been allowed to play the WHOLE role of Dr. Larch. Tobey
might have scored a nomination himself if HIS role hadn't been cut.
The biggest surprises were the people with no previous feature film work:
singers Erykah Badu and Heavy D, and young Spencer Diamond as the orphan
"Curly."
As for getting copies of trailers, LOL. The film trailers are at least
35mm and are carefully accounted for, and the tapes are almost
exclusively 3/4" for TV stations -- they are out there (or will be), but
getting them is a bitch, and very expensive.

This is what Hollywood does to John Irving novels. Remember "The Rape
of Owen Meany" a.k.a. "Simon Birch"?
Apparently Hollywood is too stupid to figure out that Irving's
work should be done in miniseries format or not at all.

I'm quite sure that he wasn't asking for a way to actually get a copy
of the 35mm or 3/4" tape traliers. Silly boy. :-)
Many web sites of the studios or distributors involved, or web sites
set up specifically for a movie (this one could be
ciderhouserules.com, for example), often post downloadable trailers in
AVI, MPG, and MOV formats. I "have" trailers on my HD from "Wide
Awake," "Jack Frost," and many other movies, from doing it just this
way.
Doubtless this is what Bill intended by his question.

Precisely so, and thanks for clarifying the matter. Thise is, in fact, the
first movie in a long time that I couldn't find a trailer for and I'm really
disappointed.

TV commercials for "The Cider House Rules" are starting to air in Los
Angeles (and probably other major markets, too), and should pick up lots
of steam around Xmas and New Year.
Those who have a seriously hot jones for Tobey should record the
shirtless scene in the commercial (immediately after Charlize Theron's
nude clip), because the film contains only about fifteen seconds of that
whole scene. Going to see "The Cider House Rules" to see Tobey and
Charlize's bods is like having to endure "I Know What You Did last
Summer" to see Ryan Phillippe in the shower -- record the commercial and
you have most of what you want already! (The movie DOES, however, show a
little more of Miss Theron than does the US TV commerial -- censorship,
naturally; what you see of Tobey's body, however, is ALL that the film
shows.)
Post-screening, the performers who stick in the mind of our On-Line
Reviewer are Kieran Culkin (who has a small supporting role), Delroy
Lindo and Erykah Badu, which says something about what was done to
Michael Caine and Tobey Maguire's parts. Spencer Diamond, he insists, is
the one to look for in the future. (This from the guy who predicted
stardom for an eight-year-old Wil Wheaton....)
