Sep 20 2006Blood Diamond Trailer (controlled by De Beers)
A fisherman, a mercenary, and a syndicate of businessmen fight for a precious stone while Leonardo DiCaprio speaks in an unidentifiable accent in Blood Diamond, the most controversial look at the diamond trade since Elizabeth's Taylor's White Diamonds commercials. From just the trailer I can tell how powerful this piece will be, forcing audiences to examine human ethics and greed pushed to its extreme, but set in Africa so we can more easily dismiss it as primitive savagery that doesn't apply to us.
The film also stars Jennifer Connelly as an American journalist and Djimon Hounsou, once again, reprising his role as thoughtful African guy.
NOTE: To play the Blood Diamond trailer drinking game, take a shot every time someone is shown screaming. You'll be drunk before it's over.

Hounsou does play the thoughtful African guy like the best of em... almost as good as Denzel plays the overly intense, misunderstood African guy.

I think Leonardo's accent is Dutch/South African.
