2 new movie trailers have creeped into the online world. One featuring a comedy by an all big casts and one is an epic drama.
THE MEN WHO STARES AT GOATS
(Overture Film - 06/11/2009)
First, we have THE MEN WHO STARE AT GOATS. The comedy movie is based on a book of the same title by Jon Ronson, and will stars Ewan McGregor, George Clooney, Kevin Spacey and Jeff Bridges and directed by Grant Heslov.
The movie tells the true (albeit somewhat bizarre) story about a top secret unit within the American military whose purpose is to develop mind-control powers for “psychic spying.” The film follows a reporter, Bob Wilton (Ewan McGregor), who stumbles into the story of a lifetime when he meets a special forces agent, Lyn Cassady (George Clooney). As they embark on a new mission, Lyn reveals his twenty-year involvement in this top secret, psychic military unit and shares details of their activities, each more bizarre than the last (including staring at goats in order to kill them telepathically).
AGORA
(Focus Feature - 18/12/2009)
It tells the story of astronomer-philosopher Hypatia of Alexandria (Weisz) and her relationship with her slave Davus (Minghella), who is torn between his love for his mistress and the possibility of gaining his freedom by joining the rising tide of Christianity.
