Is this a story about the U.S. Army personnel who discovered almost mountainous accumulations of artwork masterpieces, hidden away by the Nazis, and who then spent much time and energy to restore them to museums, etc.? Fascinating idea for a film, though there is already a documentary about it. I suppose Clooney's film will tack on some kind of through-line narrative... and, of course, a love interest. Personally, I have lately begun to tire of Desplat's scores, finding many of them mostly generic, including his recent effort for Clooney's THE IDES OF MARCH.

Why must every trailer have some contemporary hip hop/rock thing behind it? James

Kids won't be interested on watching a WWII film about a bunch of curators saving art because of a hip-hop song.

Kids won't be interested on watching a WWII film about a bunch of curators saving art because of a hip-hop song. The song is there to cue people that the film, while a period piece, has a modern sensibility. That's all. In other words, it's there to mislead them into buying tickets. Period pieces are seen by the industry, sadly, as uncommercial, so they're trying to give the film the appearance of being somewhat modern. However people won't find modern music in the film itself, a la The Great Gatsby. At least I hope not... Also, I'll bet anything that the eventual overseas trailers will not need to use modern pop music like this. Only US audiences seem to require this. (And before anyone complains, I'm American)

What you are objecting to is a perceived cynicism on the part of the studio. Perceive that if you like. I happen to think the trailer works. I don't just perceive it, it's there in the industry. Trust me. I can't wait to see the film, but the trailer just grates, to me.

Very interested in this new Desplat score. I had been a huge fan of his work until the last two years when I got the feeling that he is just doing too much, therefore repeating himself ad nauseam. Hopefully, this film is his return to form.
