I like the way they are advertising it, looks interesting. I'm not sure I'll actually see this in the theatres, but I'm looking forward to seeing it at some point.
"Some people can thrive and bloom living life in a living room, that's perfect for some people of one hundred and five. But I at least gotta try, when I think of all the sights that I gotta see, all the places I gotta play, all the things that I gotta be at"
The credits at the end of the trailer have Michael Sheen's name before Frank Langella's. Is it really possible that they are being credited in that order? I'm pretty sure that Frank Langella was top-billed on Broadway. Is Michael Sheen a bigger name internationally?
I just looked at imdb.com to see the cast list -- I didn't know that Patty McCormack (of "The Bad Seed") is playing Pat Nixon. Kate Jennings Grant is in the movie, too.
"What was the name of that cheese that I like?"
"you can't run away forever...but there's nothing wrong with getting a good head start"
"well I hope and I pray, that maybe someday, you'll walk in the room with my heart"
"He found something that he wanted, had always wanted and always would want— not to be admired, as he had feared; not to be loved, as he had made himself believe; but to be necessary to people, to be indispensable."

"This movie will become an example of the perfect way of taking a stage adaptation and turning it into a movie!"
You are so right, but I do have to say that this is a piece that is so well written that it would look good in any medium (film and theater).
When I read the play I was imagining every scene in my head as how it would look on film. Then I re-read it again and saw every scene in my head how it would look and feel on the stage. I think it's one of those pieces that just adapts well. Most plays are not like that.
"In the U.S.A.
You can have your say,
You can set you goals
And seize the day,
You've been given the freedom
To work your way
To the head of the line-
To the head of the line!"
---Stephen Sondheim
I love that Patty "Bad Seed" McCormick is playing Pat.
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”
~ Muhammad Ali
Oh, God, finally, finally I got to see the trailer.
I followed this movie in imdb since it was announced. There was so little update in that imdb page. I even checked the message board every couple of days.
Thank you to finally put the trailer up. The most anticipated movie for me this year.
