For fans of Rosamund Pike, she'll be appearing in the upcoming thriller Fracture, which also stars Anthony Hopkins and Ryan Gosling.

Was a cool surprise to see her in the trailer for this one a few weeks ago.

The trailer looks great. I hope the film has an R-rating. I'd love to see...er, more, of Roz.

It is - for "language and some violent content."

Ah! Lovely , Rosamund was the best thing about Die Another Day I cant wait to see her in this one.


I don't exactly agree with this assessment, but I thought she was still pretty good.

Well judging from the trailer, it does feature a scene of...that nature. :cooltongue:

I was reading a few early reviews of the film (all giving it positive marks) and one made note of an odd edit that either cut down or removed such a sex scene.

I recall one time some fans approached her asking if she was that Bond girl from Die Another Day, and she denied it.

I also remember one time when I was thinking over a potential cast for the upcoming Metal Gear Solid movie how she'd make a great Naomi Hunter...

Have you seen it yet, Qwerty? Is it worth full price in the cinema or should I wait for the DVD?

No. I broke my toe this weekend, so I couldn't head out on opening night to see it. I'm going to try and catch it in the next few days.

Its watchable enough. Its the kind of film where your enjoyment of it depends on how much you like the actors.

wow, I saw it this past weekend. Rosamund is very good, but all are overshadowed by Hopkins. He has still got it and he makes the movie awesome

I heard that the movie is already considered a bomb on its opening weekend.

It's a bit of a crunch for horror/thriller movies right now in the US. There's Disturbia, Perfect Stranger, Vacancy, and Fracture that opened on two back to back weekends.

I think I read that Fracture opened at #2.

If Americans don't turn up in droves to see a movie, that's usually a sign that its something worth watching.

No problem We Moonraker defenders got to look out for each other. :angry:

What other film opened at #2? Let me see. What was it called? Oh, yeah. Casino Royale. There was another one. What was it called? Oh, yeah. Tomorrow Never Dies. Yep. Once a film opens at #2 it's sure to be a flop.

Not a bad film, this. Well-acted (Gosling takes top honours), intelligent and gripping, and also shot very stylishly. Goes on too long, and the ending is a letdown, but FRACTURE is still worth a viewing.

As for Pike, she looks very, very fine indeed (to the point where, by comparison, she looks positively frumpy in DIE ANOTHER DAY [!]), and gives a good performance in a role one suspects was conceived for Nicole Kidman.

Not surprised this picture has bombed, if indeed it has. No action scenes, no humour, very little titillation, and (despite possible appearances and marketing strategies) it's no SILENCE OF THE LAMBS-type suspenser, either. You could do a lot worse, though.

So, basically you're saying that Americans do not have taste when it comes to movies. If this is true, are you saying ALL Americans don't have taste? Do you know anything about the cultural tastes of EACH American in existence?
