Seems that still is the only Ioan bit of the trailer - some might say unfortunate, but I think it's a calculated shot to set the tone (pardon the pun! :roll: ) for Blair's role in the movie. he was known here a Bush's poodle and I think that pic shows a lovely expression for a poodle, don't you? :wink:

Does his hair look sort of blonde/orange (rather than Blair's salt and pepper tones) to anyone else or is it just my computer screen? Anyway, it's a good thing they put the character name next to the pic, because he looks nothing like Blair. Look's like an interesting film though.

I agree, jess! It's true, though, that Tony's hair became increasingly grey and sparse over his years as PM. (whether as a result ofthe stress or just his age, I'm not sure....:wink: )Maybe the Ioan still is from the beginning of their liason? I'm not sure where the film finishes......it doesn't seem to include Gordon Brown (our present PM and Chancellor of the Exchequer throughout the Blair years).

I like this article from the UK's Daily Mail - they've managed to find a pic of Tony that Ioan's still actually resembles!

Well, at least, they are not negative about Ioan, just wonder if another actor wouldn't have been a better choice. Which is not a bad thought. I would like to wait until I saw the movie, but I truly wonder if I can sit through a movie about George W. Bush. only for Ioan... (raising hands to heaven: "Oh, Ioan, wasn't having to watch Titanic enough punishment?" :weeping )
:wink:

:lol: Good point, Syl! Methinks I'll have to, though.......just to make up my own mind! :roll:
Shipmate- 07-30-2008
I can see how you would feel that way,girls. I'm SO ready to see this movie,even if Ioan wasn't in it!!
StevieT- 07-31-2008
Am I missing something here? Everyone talks about a clip, but I've only seen a still of 'Yone as Tone' even though I've watched the trailer a few times! They talk about his 'performance' - is there another clip I haven't seen????

I think Mr. Glaze (Western Mail) has exaggerated a wee bit: :roll:
"Ioan’s great Blair proves a big hit on the internet" (really?)
"clip of Ioan Gruffudd’s performance as Tony Blair"
"The 1min 41secs clip yesterday appeared on YouTube and versions were viewed by more than 100,000 people." (one version, many copies)
Not very objective reporting I'm afraid. :tsk tsk:
StevieT- 07-31-2008
Cheers, muvid! Then I'm not going crazy, (make that even more crazy)
afterall!

Hello friends. :)
I hope you are fine.
I just felt the same as you Stevie at first! :wink:
Did I miss a "line"??? :???: :blink:
But pfffff ad Muvidlover just said, yes, the comment was just bizarrely exagerated!
Indeed we ALL just saw ONE clip of "W" movie. This one.
And we certainly can not judge an actor performance watching a 0,00001 second long sequence. :mrgreen: :???:
Thank you everyone for the cool links. :hug :thumbs up
And THANKS ANNEE for the BIG clip-still photo of Ioan. :hug :thumbs up
I've never seen a photo from this clip as big as this one, just the clip itself with its bad quality. GREAT job. :clap:
Did you see, by the way, at the end of the first ever official trailer we have, that Ioan's name is not mentionned about the cast?
I was shocked and sad... :blink: :???: :dunno :bricks

Not very objective reporting I'm afraid. :tsk tsk:
Well, I'm afraid that balanced responses won't go with "W".
Anyway, I agree that you can't judge an actor's performance in a movie from a short clip.

Here's the pic....not sure I can deal with blue-eyed blonde Ioan. *laughs*

muvidlover- 08-01-2008
blue-eyed blonde Ioan
'Tis rather unsettling to be sure. I believe I can make out the remnants of golf-club eye. :roll: Thanks for the biggie, maiden.
