Trailers: Across the Universe

It won't be released until September 2007, but the trailer for the Beatles inspired movie musical, Across the Universe, is currently buzzing around the internet and reportedly making its theatrical debut in front of screenings of Dreamgirls. Considering that it certainly seems to be a smaller scale and more creative take on the genre, I'd imagine the notion is to let word of mouth and internet blogphiles handle mass amounts of promotion and I'm here to do my part. I can't say that I'm a huge Beatles fan, but it's safe to say that there is a level of familiarity with most of their songs to nearly all people. This film tells the story of Jude and Lucy across the span of time when the Beatles reigned supreme. It chronicles both personal and national ups and downs with Beatles' music as the soundtrack to it all. Evan Rachel Wood and Jim Sturgess star with appearances by musicians such as Bono also peppering what looks to be a dreamy, magical little movie. For now all I can definitely say about it is that it probably has one of the most peculiar and intriguing trailers I've seen in a long time (links below).
