Hot Trailer: ‘I’m Still Here’

COMMENTS (26)

• Andy Kaufman alredy did the ultimate in has he lost his mind or is this a hoax so anything similar just seems like blatant immitation. Not that blatant immitation has ever stopped anyone in Hollywood.

• Is every trailer a hot trailer? Unstoppable was billed as a hot trailer, but definitely wasn’t. This one is a luke warm trailer. I can’t work out whether it is going to be a comedy, a dramedy, or a Doors-like look at the disintegration of a mind.

• I actually like it. Whoever has that voice, and wrote those lines.. good job. This could have looked a lot more exploitative.

  • Agreed. The voice over well done. Sounds like Robert Evans.

    • Was it all a big joke? You better believe it.

• Good Golly – this is an examination of x-rays and diary jottings. I’m concerned about the man who lets such things run about. I think he may lose most of himself in doing such things. Casey is an artist but also needs to be humane – lest he become Leni. I think we shouldn’t see this shit.

  • Oh come on, you are equating a sub-Andy Kaufmann joke with Nazi propaganda?

• I liked it better when it was called “Walk The Line”

• Sounds like Eddie Olmos on narration. Could be wrong.

• Just when I thought a celeb couldn’t be more narcissistic.

  jeez, to quote the honorable 16th president of the US of A Abe Lincoln, ” I just love me some me”.

• At the very least I respect them for trying something so daring because the mockumentary genre is so incredibly diffcult to pull off well. There’s This is Spinal Tap, maybe another two or three, and then a whole lot of failed attempts. Even if you come close it won’t work. It has to be dead on.

  So, with that in mind, kudos to Phoenix and Afflect for having the balls to try. Now, is it any good? I’ll wait and see.

• Going to need eat a dozen brownies and smoke an ounce of weed before stepping into the theater to see this. Not saying this is a bad thing…

• As awful-looking a mockumentary as I’ve seen. It looks like so many SNL sketches bloated to feature length schlock. It was funny for 10 minutes on Letterman. But 108 minutes of Joaquin Phoenix pretending to quit acting and become a rapper? No thanks.

• First of all, the VO sounded like Martin Sheen to me. Second, this trailer was not only not hot, but the opposite of compelling. So much blah blah. Pseudo-philosophical b.s., an unattractive star, murky premise, and the promise of nothing but self-indulgence. I can’t understand how this even got made.

• No thanks. Would have seen it until I saw this trailer.

  Next

• has bomb written all over it… we now know it was fake, why would people watch it? not to mention it was a bad premis and a borat copy to begin with.

• Hopefully this stunt, which it seems Casey may have talked Joaquin Phoenix into doing, doesn’t destroy the man’s entire career.

  This whole farce has made him the laughing stock of Hollywood. If this doesn’t come out and at the very least get great reviews, Phoenix may be done…
