BD trailer and pix
Abstract and yapi, Big thanks! Love the look of that new trailer and those pix are amazing! Great to have both at once...much appreciated. Definitely the next film I'll be looking forward to after I see TD omorrow. A friend who manages a theater told me today she just got the teaser poster for BD. She describes it as... a pic of a diamond with blood dripping -black background and cast name across the top- the botom has "opening december 15" I hope to see it soon.

Sky, is this the poster of which you were describing? http://imagehost.vendio.com/bin/imageserver.x/00000000/dfknklk/BLOODDIAMOND.jpg

That's the BD Teaser
Hi u4ik! 8) Yes, that's the BD teaser poster I'm describing. Thanks for posting it here. Fun to see the BD trailer with TD this weekend. It looks very powerful and amazing on the big screen. I'm looking forward to it at the end of the year, but after seeing it twice this weekend, I'm still very much in a Departed mode now!

I dunno. That teaser poster looks a bit goth IMO. A little like it's promoting a new horror flick (although the subject of the film is indeed rather horrific, but in a more real, politically upsetting kind of way) But I just don't think this poster conveys the right image. It's too simple and dark.

I think a lot of people do get swayed by critics unfortunately. But I think if it's something they wanna see and it's promoted enough, they'll go see it regardless of the critics' opinion.

I didn't realise it at first but apparently the MPAA approved it for "all audiences" ;) I guess they think the violence in the movie is necessary to teach things to all people.

Looking at the trailer, it doesn't look like the violence depicted is the gratuitous, over the top, blood and gore type of violence - its the type of violence reflected in any TV news broadcast. I am happy if this film gets a PG-13 rating - feel its an important topic that should be seen by as wide an audience as possible.

oh I think I made another mistake. (arg damn my bad english) at the beginning of the trailer it's says "the following PREVIEW has been approved for all audiences" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CyvCDIvGNjA So it was maybe the trailer which was rated "All audiences" not the movie :D

Michael Sheen about Blood diamond http://blogs.orlandosentinel.com/entertainment_movies_blog/2006/10/pr_war_over_blo.html This Leo DiCaprio Oscar season thriller about the African trade in "conflict diamonds" has had the diamond monopolists all atwitter for months. They've set up websites. All to get "their side" of the bloodstained stones story out. And those who seek to expose the dirty little secrets of the trade set up their own. And so on. It's been going on for ages. The fight over the movie, AND the fight over conflict diamonds (diamonds purchased from warlords and others caught up in Africa's various civil wars). Michael Sheen, who plays Tony Blair in The Queen, is also in Blood Diamond. He plays the Brit-dealer who sets the diamond purchase plot in motion, says "It's not often you can be in something that has the chance to change something awful in the world, and the more attention we draw to this part of the diamond trade, the more awareness people have, the better it'll be." Look for Blood Diamond in Dec., no matter what DeBeers says.

Hey there are 2 new the blood diamond trailers http://www.iklipz.com/Movies.aspx?MovieID=b76794c8-38aa-4d35-b73e-d368c91def13 http://www.iklipz.com/Movies.aspx?MovieID=4c96cf2c-1ee3-46a1-885c-58c68ee579e2 bye
