New Hollywood pool movie trailer released (actually really good)

"It is supposed to be about"?
This is a discussion board and my comments were directly related to the link you posted. Telling me to post to another thread because you don't agree with me was yes, rude. The thing is, you probably do agree with me and I know where you are coming from, we all would like to see a great pool movie. I have a feeling though from what they choose to use in the trailer this "straight to video effort" is most likely not it. We can only hope it is something better then the clip. Pool itself can't carry any movie it is just the backdrop to another story and it's portrayal often very bad, to fit a stereotype.

In the Color of Money there was Gambling, Fighting and Drug use so what is your point? I am sorry but I don't think a movie with little school girls who never swear playing pool is going to make much money.

It is a movie, they make movies to be edgy so that people go see them. I don't think I would want to watch a pool movie without gambling / swearing / fighting because it wouldn't be realistic.
 
Color of money's main focus was on character. Each were unique and brilliantly portayed, as obvious by the star studded cast. Eric clapton's song is one of my all time favorites. I think the song made the movie. And Tom cruise's booty.

Nathan, I think you did a pretty good job with your pool vmag. I was quite entertained with the c. Williams and the other dude (I tried for two minutes to remember) episode.

I hope this movie takes off. If it does, it'll be something like how fast and furious took off with street racing. Vroom. Gluck.

Does anyone know what's happened to the 9-Ball movie with Jennifer Baretta and Jeanette Lee? Or was it some parody all along?

Yall just give me the Danny Basavich pool movie and give his real sidekick (that was down for most of the stories in the book)some input on the movie and thats all i need...

That and well a Titantic Thompson life story....and that will sell in the box office due to some of the people he associated his gambling ventures with..

Agreed...I watched the trailer for the first time just now and to be honest that was pool that I saw...Looked like the thuth ha ha..Looked like the the only type of pool movie I would wanna watch...Drugs..Sex and gambling..Thats what sells...And its actually the honest truth of that part of pool to a degree...

I hate to tell u people that say it gives pool a bad image this but well to be honest with u....This is what its like out there....If u wanna show the world a super postivite side of pool u might just have to lie to em...
 
Hey guys,
Just a quick note to say from I saw the main character who's also producer is quite a good player and has that pool passion. Plus Jordan is a really nice guy. Anyway It's almost impossible to satisfy every people but from what I know it's a MOVIE. You're not focusing on the reality when you're watching a james bond, it's just the same here. All players know trcik shots don't come that much in real game but it's entertainement and just because of this, they have to use it to do something good!

For the themes and the cliche, think about this: Boxing movie: always same cliché since rocky,in fact lot of action and sport movie are about redemption/temptation stuff and it's has been working for years ...

Thanks. It finally comes out on DVD this Thursday. :)

lol, and yeah, that Mika guy is pretty hard to remember. :p
 
If, the trailer is portraying the essence of the movie it looks to be about hustlin'. That comes with a lot of negative image to some people who want pool to have a legitimate "image". Sorry, but hustlin' ain't legit. Its about getting the edge and taking down the cash. Theres alot of shall we say off color activities that go with it and its definately not family oriented. It is what it is, and personally I hope the acting is good enough to make it as real as possible. It gotta be better than pool hall junkies! I'm looking forward to seeing it.

Gotta say Disney did make a great movie called " The Greatest Game ever Played ". It was a movie about the youngest amateur golfer to win a U.S. Open. If pool had movies like that it might get more positive results. Every movie I have ever seen with a pool theme is the same. Hopefully you are wrong
