New MAMMA MIA movie Poster....

I think it looks cute, but would love to see a seperation between them, more like having Sophie in a nervous pose rather than a happy pose. And Meryl looks fine (she looks clueless), so that works.

What are your thoughs?

"The Movie" is a little unncessary. I'm still trying to understand what the hell Meryl Streep is trying to accomplish with this film.

Why should she be trying to accomplish anything?

Perhaps she just felt like doing a fun light-hearted musical comedy. Must everything she does be a campaign for an Oscar?

Oh, I was expecting a new movie poster -- this one was already posted on here about 2 weeks ago.

Unlike a lot of Hollywood actresses, Meryl knows when to have fun with her films. Nobody thought (starting with her, I'm sure) that she would be Oscar-nominated for what was released as a summer popcorn chick flick in 2006. What I love the most about seeing Meryl play this comic characters is that you can tell she is having so much fun on screen, that's why I love SHE-DEVIL and DEATH BECOMES HER.
From the MAMMA MIA trailers, you can tell she is just having a good time. She's got nothing to "accomplish" by making this movie. She's American royalty. And it is probably her versatility as an actress and her ability to take all kinds of roles (this year she'll be starring in MAMMA MIA and DOUBT, complete opposites) that has kept her getting roles again and again at an age when a lot of other actresses are struggling to stay in the business.

I can;t make it out...

Is she holding a boa?

...and that seems like a strange position to have her leg in.

Maybe my eyes are just tired?

"I'm still trying to understand what the hell Meryl Streep is trying to accomplish with this film."

"Exactly what she did with She Devil, Death Becomes Her, Lemony Snicket's Series of Unfortunate Events, Prime and will be doing in Julie & Julia."

I would add to that list Stuck On You, where she played herself (as did Cher).

Meryl Streep is perhaps the only reason why I would go to see this film. Just from the trailer, she looks like she's having so much fun that it's almost infectious.

Yeah, but nobody pays any attention to your threads. So this is the first time anybody is seeing it aside from you.

"The Movie" is a little unncessary.

Isn't every movie unnecessary? The purpose of making big Hollywood films is to make money. And this movie will do that. Sounds like it fulfills the same necessity as every other big Hollywood film.

Who wouldn't love to be paid to sing and dance in Greece? I sure wouldn't! I'm looking forward to this movie because of Meryl and the cast she's leading. Pierce! Colin! Love em'!

And I love that they actually went to Greece instead of "faking it" in Hollywood. The beauty of that country cannot be faked.

I don't know much about the actress playing Sophie but in that picture they actually look like mother and daughter.

If it fulfills a necessity, how is it then unnecessary, F*CKwad!

Is this movie still being released the same day as The Dark Knight?
