This is aiming for one of those five extra Best Picture nomination spots. I can already tell. The first trailer for Jim Sheridan's Brothers has finally showed up on YouTube (via The Playlist) courtesy of ET even though it's already showing in theaters in front of Public Enemies. Brothers stars Natalie Portman, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Tobey Maguire and is yet another Iraq / Afghanistan movie like every other one we've seen come and go in the last few years. Sure, it looks emotional, it looks like a tough story for many reasons, and it has a good cast, but is it going to actually be any good? We'll find out in December whether it is or not.

In a small, snowy Pennsylvania town, a young man (Jake Gyllenhaal) comforts his older brother's wife (Natalie Portman) and children after her husband (Tobey Maguire) goes missing in Afghanistan.

Brothers is directed by Oscar nominated filmmaker Jim Sheridan, of In the Name of the Father, The Boxer, In America, and Get Rich or Die Tryin' previously. The screenplay was written by David Benioff of 25th Hour, Troy, The Kite Runner, and X-Men Origins: Wolverine previously. This is also a remake of Susanne Bier's 2004 Danish film Brødre. Lionsgate is bringing Brothers to theaters on December 4th this winter.

Looks pretty intense. When I first heard about this I was a bit shocked since I always thought Tobey and Jake looked alike (similar to when I found out Kiera Knightey was in Star Wars).

I'd see it; it seems like an interesting enough story... plus Natalie Portman is in it

looks good. Natalie looks as pretty as ever, and Jake looks pretty big from his Prince of Persia routine. I'm pretty interested to see Tobey in this movie, cuz I've never been a fan of his usual roles

Saw this before Public Enemies, it looked pretty good

By the reading the plot of the story... it sounds like Pearl Harbor.

They just gave away the whole movie in the trailer, no thanks.

Gee, let me take a guess of the outcome. Is Tobey gonna be spider-man no-more.

So a Spidey vs. Donnie Darko. This movie reminds me of Pearl Harbor. You know with the story line.

but it looks intense. I will give it a shot.

Yeah, I thought that too but I didn't want to jinx it

Watching this trailer, I think I prefer Jake's acting over Tobey's. I thought of them as comperable (based on looks and roles) but I think I have a preference. Anyone else want to weigh in on opinions?
