Oh dear, I really haven't been paying attention. Didn't realise that this very funny trailer was already out:

I like Colin Firth in the role originally played by Michael Caine very much. And AR doing comedy is always good. In UK cinemas from 21 November. Might have to take myself to see it. Yup. :-))

Distracted... ;-)

So, this is a remake of an older film? I hadn't even heard of the original.....but that's not unusual. The list is getting longer and longer of things that I cannot remember.

AR, Colin Firth, AND Stanley Tucci all in one film? I think I've died and gone to heaven. I hope this gets released here eventually.

Based on, but not entirely faithful to, Gambit, 1966 starring Michael Caine, Shirley MacLaine and the late great Herbert Lom. Actually I don't think I've ever watched the original all the way through. Hopefully I'll concentrate better this time, and you'll get to see both versions at some point. :-)
