Earlier today I was just thinking "Is this still coming out this year?"

HATE the song.  Really hoping it's not going to be wall-to-wall gospel/bluegrass/O Brother music.  Was kinda expecting more humor in this too but maybe it's just not evident in the trailer.

I'm actually hoping it's devoid of humor. The teaser makes it look badass.

Love the song, hate the rest of the trailer. The movie looks good, but the trailer's just so choppy. Maybe it's the song's fault after all, but I like it anyway.

inevitable cmbb reference: guy falling down the hole towards the camera.

the song is fine, seeing as o brother was their last great film i don't mind if they allow it to influence them a little. also don't expect much humour in this.. nor would i want the coens to try to be purely funny again, based on Burn After Reading i hope they ONLY do serious films from now on, at least then the worst they can get is boring (no country) and not downright embarrassing to the point of sullying their reputation.

I think it's obvious the song is there to draw in people like my parents. They know and love the Coens, for the most part. They love a classic like True Grit. And the music is moody and evocative of O' Brother. It's intentionally pointing to more mainstream elements of the Coens' oeuvre, like their bestselling soundtrack and their biggest grossing movie, for a reason = $$$$$$$$$$$$$ and I'm ok with that.

Saw that in front of The Social Network, and now I'm really looking forward to the movie.  Also: I'm glad that there's going to be some humor in this film, not that I ever really doubted it.  The Coens excel at creating a tension between comedy and tragedy, and to create an overly serious film would just make me wonder why John Hillcoat didn't make it instead.

Shortest period ever between teaser and trailer?

It looks great. I love movies where a character has to save someone they never expected to feel the need to save. My only beef is I have a hard time seeing Matt Damon as anything gritty. Love the dude, but that's just something I can't see him working with.

It might just be Matt Damon doing a McConaughey impression.
