So do I it makes the film look really interesting and exciting. It get the feeling the message is "listen between the lines and you'll understand, language and cultural differences don't need to stop you".

It also seems to suggest that the two Americans are being portrayed as considering their cultural somehow superior (American as in Western). I could be reading to much into a trailer.

Babel has had a big on set fall out behind the scenes, and it now seems no one likes eash other.

Oh dear. Any more info?

The trailer says it's getting a proper release, so fingers crossed. After the success of 21 Grams you'd think it would.

I received R2UK 21 Grams today, hope to watch it in the weekend.

Wow, just watched the Babel trailer and that looks amazing, that looks like it certainly warrants a cinema screening from me.
EDIT: Bah! Not out in the UK til Jan 07 (source: DVDtimes), so it'll prolly be a longer wait til it reaches my shores.

IMDB says that Amores Perros, 21 Grams and Babel are supposed to be a trilogy. Hmmm, makes sense - but it's probably just some Tardis making shit up (as is often the case on the IMDB) and rather than what Innarritu has said.

Hmmm, why do you think Universal sublicence their "Focus Pictures" label films outside of the US? Like in the UK:- "Broken Flowers" is distributed by Momentum and "21 Grams" by Sony. In R4 land, both of those are distributed by Village Roadshow.

It's a bit strange that Romero will see 21 Grams but not Amores Perros. I don't see why it being made in Mexico and in the Spanish language instantly "makes it shit". Innarritu looks to have had complete freedom on both films after all.

Thanks. Where does DVD Times tell you cinema release dates?

IMDB says that Amores Perros, 21 Grams and Babel are supposed to be a trilogy.

Bollocks. 21 Grams and Amores Perros aren't that's for sure. They do share a very similar style but that doesn't remotely make them a trilogy.

It's a bit strange that Romero will see 21 Grams but not Amores Perros. I don't see why it being made in Mexico and in the Spanish language instantly "makes it shit". Innarritu looks to have had complete freedom on both films after all.

Exactly, exactly and exactly. Double standards. No doubt Romero will deny saying he said he won't touch South American films (which he did).

Hahaha non english films instanty "makes it shit" whatever you say.

I have seen it acctually, its a shit film, not becuase its in another language.

Not sure what planet you are from and I have seen more spanish language films that both of you I am sure, I was watching them 15 years ago when they were fresh and not overated bollocks by people who think they are now experts on the subject.
