Anyway, we now have a beautiful, fresh, very 1970s poster for the film and brand new trailer for the film as well. If anything, we hope the film's fall release brings some attention to Edgar Ramirez who is absolutely phenomenal in the lead role of Cold War terrorist Carlos The Jackal. He gives a powerful body-morphing, sexy, multi-lingual, cross-continental performance that makes Vincent Cassel's turn as Mesrine look like child's play. We really hope Hollywood is paying attention because Ramirez proves himself to be the real deal. Also in evidence is the weird jangly guitar score that we pointed as distracting in our review, and is still distracting here. We simply don't get it. But it's a niggling problem in an otherwise very, very strong piece of work.
You can watch the trailer in HD over at Apple; the embed is below. "Carlos" will open in select theaters on October 15th. Sundance Channel will air all three parts starting on October 11th.
