Funny Games: Cast and Movie Trailer Overview
It's not often that a director gets to remake his own film, but Michael Haneke gets to do just that with "Funny Games."
The trailer starts out like any slow family piece and the set-up is almost enough to immediately kill interest, even with the ever elusive to find in films Tim Roth present. However, then they introduce the first disturbed young man as played by Michael Pitt and the music switches from a yawn to a dark comedy orchestra. This looks like all of the money was spent on getting bigger named movie stars to participate and even with the silly music the dark content looks like it may be well handled. I don't see why Funny Games shouldn't be a rather big earner in actual profit terms, even if it never takes a theatre box office. The main attractions in the trailer would be references to some sort of sexual scenarios involving Naomi Watts and then the pure charisma of Michael Pitt as the psycho. Pitt carries the trailer.
Funny Games is indeed starring:
Naomi Watts - this cute Australian actress is a true Hollywood dream story come true and is most well known for roles in The Ring series and King Kong.
Tim Roth - This British actor is quite accomplished, yet tends to take smaller roles in projects. Possibly he is best known as the dying cop in Reservoir Dogs, but he was also the villain in the Planet of the Apes remake, had a small role in the Dark Water remake, and is in the upcoming Incredible Hulk movie.
Michael Pitt - If you need any proof that Pitt can play someone with some disturbing mental issues, go out and rent the Sandra Bullock starring film Murder By Numbers. Pitt and Ryan Gosling teamed up as killers in that one and Pitt's performance is reason enough to want to check out Funny Games.
Brady Corbet - Plays the role of Pitt's partner in crime in Funny Games. This actor can be seen in the boys being molested, but remembering it as an alien abduction film Mysterious Skin; which is a great under the radar drama if you like interesting things.
Siobhan Fallon, Boyd Gaines, Devon Gearhart, Robert LuPone, and Linda Moran round out the rest of the cast.
