Damn this s--t sounds deep.

Will be interesting how audiences respond to these themes being honestly expressed.

I've lost count on how many good actors has joined the film now.

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

Just when I thought the cast couldn't get any better. McQueen has assembled a wildly impressive cast.

This movie has assembled one of the greatest casts I've ever seen.

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

Great to have an up-and-coming actor added to the star-studded cast. Ever since reports out of Sundance have been praising Beasts of the Southern Wild, I've been looking forward to it.

Shame was absolutely fantastic. Automatically very interested in this.

 

[Silvermoth]

Looking good! I just saw hunger a few weeks ago and I think it's one of the best films I've ever seen. I also saw shame which really stuck with me and creeped me out so I'm fairly certain ill be ready to be unready when I see this

My first reaction after watching the trailer: "Hans Zimmer was all over that."

 

[Poetic Chaos]

Can't wait for this. Loved Shame and Fassbender is my fav actor right now.

Thank you!

Dat cast...wow

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

It's just too hard to dislike Michael Fassbender.

He should stick to playing good guys.

Even Magneto is more of an anti-hero than a villain.

But I'm a little disappointed in the trailer to be honest. I expected something more realistic. This thing lays on the black and white caricatures pretty thick.

It must be a written law that any role Paul Dano takes outside of quirky Indy comedies has to be that of an obnoxious *****e bag.
