A new newsreel style trailer is out for George Clooney’s Monuments Men. I’m a little confused at the trailer to be honest. They used typical newsreel music, but the narration pulls you right out of the feel. I guess that goes along with Clooney’s decision to delay the film because he was still searching for the right tone.
Along with Clooney, Monuments Men which also stars Matt Damon, John Goodman, Bill Murray, Bob Balaban, Cate Blanchett, Jean Dujardin, and Hugh Bonneville.
Official Synopsis:
Based on the true story of the greatest treasure hunt in history, The Monuments Men is an action-thriller focusing on an unlikely World War II platoon, tasked by FDR with going into Germany to rescue artistic masterpieces from Nazi thieves and returning them to their rightful owners. It would be an impossible mission: with the art trapped behind enemy lines, and with the German army under orders to destroy everything as the Reich fell, how could these guys – seven museum directors, curators, and art historians, all more familiar with Michelangelo than the M-1 – possibly hope to succeed? But as the Monuments Men, as they were called, found themselves in a race against time to avoid the destruction of 1000 years of culture, they would risk their lives to protect and defend mankind’s greatest achievements.
