Watch Geoffrey Rush's Career Fade Away In Trailer For The Warrior's Way
Geoffrey Rush used to be a top notch, Oscar-caliber actor. In the span of four years, from 1997 to 2001, he collected three Academy Award nominations and won once. He used to be in movies like Frida, Elizabeth and Les miserables. Then he decided to be in the Pirates of the Caribbean movies and now he's stuck doing films like The Warrior's Way.
Apple has posted the first trailer for the Sngmoo Lee and while it seems to be going for a ninja/western hybrid vibe, it just comes across as a collection of bad CGI images. Worse yet, Rush is stuck with crappy lines like, "Ninjas. Damn" (which isn't even synced up properly). Then you see Kate Bosworth, now with red hair, and think to yourself, She used to be Lois Lane. How about that? Perhaps the final product will look a bit more finished, but overall this thing just looks like a dud.
Check out the trailer below or in HD over at Apple.
