Is it wrong that the first thought that popped into my mind after viewing the trailer for Jim Sheridan’s new film Brothers was “I’m so glad somebody finally decided to capitalize on the physical similarity between Jake Gyllenhaal and Tobey Maguire!”?
The film, which will be released on December 4, centers around the conflict between two brothers over one woman (Natalie Portman) after one thought to be dead overseas returns home. The trailer starts out as sappy melodrama and then shifts into something over the top and maybe a little absurd.
Check out the trailer below, and let us know what you think in the comments!







I always was a fan of Jake Gyllenhaal and I think the last movie i saw from him was “The New Guy”. Glad to see him acting in some good movies again.
Yea there are such good actors in this movie. I think it looks really good too
I agree, amazing cast. Can't wait to see “Brothers”. I expect a great performance from Natalie Portman in this. Jake sooo hott too!
Anybody check out “Brothers”? Am I out of line by saying it's one of the best films of the year? Tobey Maguire was stunning in this…Jake Gyllenhaal too. I read somewhere that Tobey spent time with war vets, and Jake spent time with juvenile delinquents to prepare for their roles. They really killed it. Great film.
I loved it! One of the best films I have seen this year!
I always thought that they looked alike too. It was brilliant casting here. The real chemistry though is between Natalie and Jake. They have some pretty heavy scenes in this, makes you wonder if they have a love story in the works for these two. That'd be huge.
