Yup....
There you go.

Hmmm. Not too convinced about the acting in the trailer, but perhaps that's got to do with the snip snap nature of it all.

It sure does look good.

[kingdumbass]

Yeah, that's pretty much my view, as well....

I was quite disappointed when I saw this trailer to be honest.

I adore Keira and I have a huge thing for Ralph Fiennes and I was really excited about them being in a film together. It would be nice to see Ralph with someone half his age instead of twice his age for a change. My disappointment could have a lot to do with their lack of chemistry, at least in the trailer, but then again they're not supposed to have chemistry because they're unhappily married.

I thought it looked rather like your average period piece and I wasn't very intrigued by the characters, storyline or anything else. Let's hope it gets better the more footage we get to see.

I agree, it didn't make me want to see the film. Still like to go watch it. Seems better from reading what it is about.

I know, that's what I thought. I was really insanely looking foreward to this film - and this trailer was just a big bummer to me.

But then again, to be fair; Ralph Fiennes choses his films carefully. He rarely misses, his films are usually cheered for by critics (okay, he slipped at Maid In Manhattan, but we're all alowed one second chance right?). Let's hope this time won't be different! His upcoming film In Bruges is already getting a lot of praise while during the filming the entire crew thought it would be crap... so maybe The Duchess will prove us wrong.

I just hope it isn't as much of a stereotype period piece as I think it is. And I just hope Keira and Ralph's scenes together aren't as awkward as they looked to me in the trailer.

I saw the movie a while ago. Keira was good in it and the costumes are beautiful

i have never read much about this or the bigraphy befroe so i don't know if it runies it for history fans etc.. but i do known i it really good if you love period films and is a keira knightley fans as i think this is one of her best acting wise (personally i like her perfomance hear better than in pride and prejudice) so if you like keira WATCH IT as its good and it a good period film i not to great on these type of films but i still really liked this very much wayyy more then i thought i would.

oh and another think most of you already known keira has just been nomited for an BIFA award (her first award nomition for the duchess) but did anyone see who the Jury people are , what do you think keiras chances are
