Jude Law looks like a badass.

Don't you love it when beautiful well-bred actors play po' white trash!

Ehh... Why do actors have to exaggerate Southern accents? Oh well.

This book has been sitting on my shelf unread for a while. Time to get crackin' before Christmas.

Minghella praises Jack White's debut acting role

Anthony Minghella has praised Jack White's debut acting performance in Cold Mountain.

The White Stripes frontman plays a soldier in the £50 million civil war epic, as well as contributing songs to the soundtrack.

Minghella, who directs the Oscar-tipped film, describes White as an "absolute natural", reports the NME.

He said: "Jack is fantastic in this film. You would never know he is not an actor by profession. He is an absolute natural, tremendous.

"We cast him in Cold Mountain because of the songs. For his role, he has to sing - that's why I got him. But then we discovered he can act too, so he sings and acts.

"It was beautiful, he really is a tremendous talent. He made the transition from music to acting very easily. He is a performer. That's why I'm a fan.

"When I've seen the White Stripes play you can see Jack has a very theatrical side to him."

Anything with this sorry excuse for a musician in it is complete commercial crap. :P

gorgeous trailer -- renee looks laughable, but other than that, looks promising.

Pedro · December 04, 2003, 06:34:17 PM

yeah....renee's line about THEY MAKE THE WEATHER AND THEN STAND IN THE RAIN AND SAY ITS RAININ' made me laugh when i saw it in theaters. i hope that's not representative of her whole preformance.

Epic Cheese

Man, trailers keep doing this... play that music and have those really cheesy clips...

Kidman and Zellwiger both look like a joke

Especially Kidman... is she playing a cartoon version of Scarlette OHara?

I haven't seen the trailer, but I've seen the poster hanging at the theater, and it looks like Lord of the Rings meets Human Stain or something.
