Oooh, I didn't know this was being made into a movie.
My local professional theatre is doing the play this year, I'm so excited.

I thought this play was BRILLIANT. Thanks for posting the trailer, James. I am really looking forward to seeing the film.

Langella's accent comes off as a bit British.

But the trailer looks fantastic.

It's about damn time! This movie was finished entirely last year, but then they decided to wait until the next Oscar season to release it.

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.

Langella comes across very monotone. What's up with that?

Looks really good.

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.

I would love it if Frank Langella became another name on the Oscar/Tony LIST!!!

This movie will become an example of the perfect way of taking a stage adaptation and turning it into a movie!

This looks really good. It might become one the first political movies I really enjoy.

I've never seen/read the show, but I really want to see the trailer. Hopefully the trailer will be good and make me want to see the movie. =P

Yay! I am very excited for this film!

This looks so good. I can't wait. I was a moron who didn't get around to seeing this onstage when I had the chance.

I wonder if somewhere in LA there is a film chat board with people bitching about another film being made out of a stage production. ha.

"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.

I love that Patty "Bad Seed" McCormick is playing Pat.

I know exactly what you mean, I mean look at the "The Queen." Peter Morgan KNOWS both mediums, so I have no fears whatsoeva!

I do fear that the "Rabbit Hole" movie will come across as a Lifetime Movie of the month, and that scares the hell out of me.

I loved this play and I look forward to the film!

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.
