Do I recognize the blatant lifting from Inglorious Basterds‘ advertising campaign in the new Bronson trailer only because I wrap my mind up in this business so heavily, or will every audience see the similarities? Regardless, the new blood-smudged trailer for Nicholas Winding Refn’s true story of Britain’s most dangerous prisoner has arrived on Hulu in all its glory.
This is one of those films that was screened for a relatively small group, critically acclaimed, and then chained to a release date unbearably distant from the time of initial reviews. Scheduled to be released on October 9 of this year, Bronson will hopefully live up to the acclaim it has so far gathered. From the looks of things, it’s a more jovially brutal story than Refn’s accustomed to, but still very much up his alley and aligned with his Pusher roots.
Take a look at the trailer below, and let us know what you think in the comments.
