Q & A: How Willimon Runs Fincher's 'House ...Trailer Watch: Joe Wright's Sumptuous 'Anna Karenina' Waltzes Between Stage and Location
Wright is no stranger to ballsy visual choices. Remember the single battlefield shot in "Atonement"? While his aesthetic choices don't always work and sometimes overshadow the meat of a film (Manohla Dargis aptly wrote in her 2011 review of "Hanna" that Wright "likes to toss the camera around like a coked-up cheerleader or a director who wants you to remember that it's all about him"), the gorgeous but transparently fabricated reality of "Anna" looks like it could be a dazzling home-run. Fingers crossed.
Jude Law, Aaron Johnson, Kelly MacDonald, Olivia Williams and Michelle Dockery all join Knightley in the Tolstoy classic, adapted by Tom Stoppard. The film releases stateside via Focus Features on November 3, with an earlier release date of September 7 for the UK, Ireland and Spain.

Dazzling! Great idea to have Jude Law as the husband betrayed.

I know I'm going to sound like a film snob here (and I am) but judging this trailer it looks like Wright has been watching a lot of Luchino Visconti films lately

Are you serious?! That's a wrong Karenina. The one with Sophie Marceau.

I don't know if it's the disgraceful quality or if the video has been cropped, but if this is the trailer, it's absolutely pathetic... Where do you even see the "sumptiousness"?
