Pierce Brosnan is as surprised as you.

See R. Pattinson continue his bad boy boyfriend shtick while trading in sparkly vampirism for throwing things and smoking indoors (so bad!) in this trailer for Remember Me. As a bonus, you'll also get to see Pattinson get his face slammed into the pavement (therapeutic if you're really sick of this whole Twilight thing) and how a former James Bond has transformed into George Hamilton.

Feb 7 2008 'Married Life' Trailer Critiques 1940s Wife Murder

Chris Cooper, Pierce Brosnan, Patricia Clarkson, and Rachel McAdams (playing, apparently, Gwen Stefani) star in Married Life, a film that takes the '40s/'50s social critique of Far from Heaven and presents it like a long, schlocky play.

The hardest part to understand is that they're marketing this as a straight-up drama, though the trailer paints it as a satire mixed with a comedy of "who's cheating with who?!"

He might as well drop an anvil on her. Then again, maybe it's just the Django Reinhardt(-inspired?) soundtrack making me assume Woody Allen is going to pop out from behind a bannister, or that the title already makes it sound like a seldom-watched CBS sitcom.

Jan 17 2008 AM Poster Post: The Fake Plot to 'Mamma Mia!'

In Mamma Mia!, Meryl Streep steals a sorcerer's (Pierce Brosnan) magic boa, the only flamboyant accessory capable of time travel. When it's waved in the air, half of an antiqued wooden portal is opened, allowing Meryl to see into her past. Unfortunately, a rift in the space-time continuum ends up dividing Sweden from pop music, sending the members of ABBA into various alternate futures. Can Meryl get the group back together before pop music's history is irreversibly destroyed? (You can tell this will happen because the cover keeps fading from the ABBA record Meryl carries around, like with the photo in Back to the Future.)
