Aug 26 2008'Good' Trailer ('Good' is the Name, Not a Judgment Call)
Good tells the story of a German author and literary professor whose book advocating compassionate euthanasia becomes a support tool for the Nazi party, forcing him to choose between his career and his values. Also, it stars Viggo Mortensen dressed exactly like Harry Potter, so it's only a matter of hours before the internet will produce the requisite Harry Fuhrer mash-up trailer. Until then, here's the original:

More Harry Potter crossover - Jason Isaacs also plays Lucius Malfoy in the HP series.

Then, after Harry Fuhrer, it's only a matter of time before it is Bollywood-ized into Hari Footer.
It'll be about a mischief making lad who stumbles across Hitler's plans and must journey to Britain to share them with Winston Churchill. He'll do so on foot, so the footer part will make sense.

And then the porn based on Hari Footer. The starring role will be to a guy who has a foot long "wand." (wand = penis)

I'm a little confused by OddLot's choice of projects. Miller's crappy Spirit and now Good? I didn't think they were a large enough company to handle that kind of variety.

# 7 - I agree that it is beyond fucking irritating (and stupid) that British accents are randomly assigned to non-English-speaking characters in movies. Why were the Greeks in Troy English? And Alexander the Great in Alexander: Clusterfuck 2004?
For movies like this, everyone should either be speaking German, sticking with their American accents, or at the very least attempting a German accent (however painful that may be, but better than a random English one).
