Trailer Preview: Kidman Stars in Baumbach's Margot at the Wedding
New York director Noah Baumbach's follow-up to The Squid and the Whale is clearly another intense but funny family drama, this time starring Nicole Kidman and Jennifer Jason Leigh as two sisters. I have not yet seen the movie, but according to someone who has, Kidman takes on a tough, not always sympathetic role as a successful writer who is attending the wedding of her free-spirited younger sister. Leigh (who is married to Baumbach) digs into the juiciest role she's had in a while. And Jack Black plays her forbearing fiance. Paramount Vantage will release the Scott Rudin production in the fall--film fest dates are likely.
What do you think?
(This trailer is now premiering on AOL Movies.)
Absolutely looking forward to this :). Kidman and JJL = heaven!
Loved the trailer :).

Brilliant trailer, thanks so much. Can't wait. Jennifer Jason Leigh, in particular, looks awesome and a sure shot for a Supporting contender! Nicole Kidman and Jack Black look excellent too.

Thanks! I'd see ny movie with Kidman and Leigh together. Bonus if it's good. Luckily, this one seems to be.

Wow I love this trailer. Everyone looks on top form, but Leigh looks especially strong here. I hope this film can break Kidman's recent unlucky streak. I loved Baumbach's last film The Squid and the Whale.

Nicole and Jen look great.
Hoping that Nicole will be absolutely great in this. I *beep love her.

Nicole and Jennifer look FANTASTIC. Even Jack Black looks good. If I had to judge just off the trailer, Nicole looks like she could get a nomination for this, and Jennifer a win.
Cannot wait.

"If I had to judge just off the trailer, Nicole looks like she could get a nomination for this, and Jennifer a win." - I very much like the sounds of this, Robby! Hope you are right.
