Hugh Jackman is The Greatest Showman on Earth

[harlequinade]

Oh Hugh <3

I love musicals but this trailer wasn't very exciting. I'm a bit wary of "feel good" movies coming out around the holidays.

It's definitely those post Logan feels, because this trailer left me sobbing.

a damn cool trailer and the Song Wow i have freaking Goosebumbs from it

 

[sueb1863]

Why didn't they just make a movie version of "Barnum"?

Trailer slayed me. Keala <333

I know he is so...alive here

I just can't get over how vibrant and young he looks compared to Logan. I hope Fox pushes Logan for awards over this though if this lives up to its hype, since people think Hugh could get awards noms for Greatest Showman.

I really wish Fox stopped giving terrible (Award-season wise) release dates to his movies - Eddie the Eagle last year, Logan this year...with TGS being his other release this year the votes will split anyways :/

But hey, another movie with Hugh this year is always welcome and he does look - and I'm sure sings - lovely here.

Anybody else getting a gross exploitation vibe from this?

Barnum ran freak shows, he was not a nice guy. This sanitized, Hollywood mythologizing kind of disgusts me. The shows he put on were not about celebrating the unique but a place to ridicule the weird. I'm surprised this hasn't been mentioned before.

 

[Rowsdower!]

Yeah that's kinda what I was thinking too. I get that they want to make a movie that celebrates inclusivity but this movie feels like a fantasy compared to the real story of Barnum.

 

[CaptainWagner]

This looks fun. But the musical I most want to see Jackman in at this point is starring as Frollo in a live-action Hunchback of Notre Dame.

I appreciate them getting a little creative with the cliche back to the viewer poster.

Jumanji 2 on the same day, Pitch Perfect 3 two days later.

Oh man

 

[sueb1863]

Yikes. Sorry, Hugh. Even if it's a good movie it won't stand a chance.

 

[scarlet-witch]

All three of those movies look underwhelming. It wouldn't surprise me if they all have lower than expected grosses.

Not sure that Jumanji 2 is going to be a hit with audiences.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Star Wars is going to truck them all if it is really good.

New Trailer

I thought the previous trailer was better.

 

[redhawk23]

I'm pretty baffled by the sentimental tone of this trailer. Barnum was a pretty awful person. He's history's prototypical huckster, which is a cynical status at best. At worst he was a man that bought an enslaved woman, marketed her as George Washington's 160 year old wet nurse and had her publiclly dissected upon death. I find the whole "man shows a group of freaks their worth" angle really offputting here.
