New Trailer for SHAME

The Steve McQueen drama Shame has released a second trailer, and I have to say, this one may be even better than the first. The adult drama focuses on Brandon (played by Michael Fassbender), a man whose carefully constructed facade conceals his sex addiction. The film, which is NC-17, doesn't hide the fact that it's filled with sex, in fact it wears that rating with pride, using reviews that compare it to adult films such as Last Tango in Paris and Midnight Cowboy. Another fantastic part of the trailer is the heartbreaking, and beautiful, rendition of "New York, New York", which is sung by Carey Mulligan (who plays Brandon's sister, Sissy).

The film will open to a limited release on December 2nd. There is no embed for the trailer, so for now you'll have to head over to Apple to see the trailer.

For those who don't know, here's the official synopsis for Shame:

Brandon (Michael Fassbender) is a New Yorker who shuns intimacy with women but feeds his desires with a compulsive addiction to sex. When his wayward younger sister (Carey Mulligan) moves into his apartment stirring memories of their shared painful past, Brandon’s insular life spirals out of control.

We have a lot going on here, so let's get going. First off, character posters for Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows have been released, and I must admit, I'm more excited to see the movie than I was before. The posters may not be anything special, but these characters seem pretty badass, especially Noomi Rapace who's holding knives. Knives are fun. Anywho, here are the posters. Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows opens December 16th. Stick around, cause after the jump, a promo poster and synopsis for Steve McQueens 12 Years A Slave and Safe House starring Denzel Washington and Ryan Reynolds.

Trailer for SHAME Starring Michael Fassbender and Carey Mulligan

The US trailer for Shame, directed by Steve McQueen, has hit the internet. The film stars Michael Fassbender as Brendan, a sex addict whose tightly-constructed world is slowly spiraling out of control and the situation only becomes worse when his screw-up of a sister (Carey Mulligan) comes into his life. The film has a rating of NC-17, but this hasn't stopped Fox Searchlight from trying to advertise it publicly. It seems like they're aiming to sell it primarily at adults which could work considering the sex that's seen in the film, from what I've read, isn't all that sexy at all. The trailer is able to show how Brendan's life begins to be breaking apart piece by piece, and the film seems like it's going to be pretty fantastic.

Hit the break to check out the trailer. Shame opens in  limited release on December 2nd.

It's Official: SHAME rated NC-17

Not exactly a surprise to anyone, but Steve McQueen's dark, erotic drama Shame has been given an NC-17 rating. This was expected with the amount of nudity and sex that takes place in the film. Starring Michael Fassbender and Carey Mulligan, Fassbenders plays a a successful single New Yorker who is a compulsive sex addict. Yeah...sounds like a fun movie for every family. But, even with all of the controversy, the film has gotten rave reviews at numerous film festivals, and Fassbender is getting plenty of talk for the Best Actor nomination. The film will be released December 2nd, I recommend you all check it out. If you're over 17 of course.
