This is the trailer for Married Life, starring Pierce Brosnan, Chris Cooper, Rachel McAdams and Patricia Clarkson. It opens March 7th in New York and LA.

A 1940s-set drama where an adulterous man plots his wife’s death instead of putting her through the humiliation of a divorce. 

That’s a shame.  I see where he’s coming from though.  I often use to plot my boss’ death to avoid putting him through the humiliation of realizing he was an idiot.  Seemed like the humane thing.

Anyway, it’s hard to go wrong with this cast, but I wonder about the decision to take a hot chick like Rachel McAdams and try to make her look like Gwen Stefani.  I mean, I guess with the crispy bleached hair and super red lipstick they’re going for that "Albino Who Got Kicked in the Face" look.  Mm-mmm, sex-y. 

Paul Verhoeven (Basic Instinct, Total Recall, Robocop, Hollow Man, Starship Troopers) will be directing a sequel to 1999’s The Thomas Crown Affair, a movie that combined the originality of a heist flick with the sexiness of old people screwing.  I never saw it, but it’s going on my Netflix queue as soon as I get through Osmosis Jones.

Verhoeven revealed his plans on the Dutch radio program Met Het Oog Op Morgen.  Reportedly, Pierce Brosnan will be back, but Angelina Jolie will be replacing Rene Russo as the lead in… The Topkapi Affair.

Of the project, Verhoeven said, “Meep bop blurp poop moog blep burg,” which is Dutch for “Angelina Jolie is a total piece of ace.  Watching her teach third world children to operate an iPod gives me a total iRod, you know what I’m sayin’ kemosabe?”  (despite sounding like retarded gibberish, Dutch is a very efficient language).
