The Brothers Bloom Movie Poster and Trailer

I have to be honest I don’t know all that much about The Brothers Bloom besides who’s in it, but from just watching the trailer it looks really good. The film’s website describes it succinctly as “a con man movie by some of the people who made Brick,” the 2006 indie film by writer/director Rian Johnson. (link) It is the story of the Brothers Bloom, the world’s best con men, who for years swindled millionaires with complex scenarios of lust and intrigue. They decide to take on one last job - showing a beautiful and eccentric heiress the time of her life with a romantic adventure that takes them around the world. (link) Sound’s pretty good doesn’t it?

There is something about this movie’s trailer/plot that really reminds me of a Coen Brothers or Wes Anderson film, and to me that’s some pretty high praise. Hopefully the movie can deliver on a strong trailer and a talented cast.


The Brothers Bloom premieres on October 24, 2008 and stars Academy Award winners Adrien Brody and Rachel Weisz, Mark Ruffalo, Academy Award nominee Rinko Kikuchi (Babel) and Robbie Coltrane.
