Yahoo Movies has got its hands on the rather spiffing new trailer from Sam Mendes' latest, Revolutionary Road. Reuniting the Titanic team of Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet, it's based on Richard Yates' 50s-set novel about a young couple who yearn to break out of their middle-class existence and experience something of life but circumstance conspires to keep them stuck in suburbia. Appearing to deal with similar themes to Mendes' own American Beauty, it's all looking rather lush and dramatic. Click here to take a gander at the trailer. Revolutionary Road is set to be released on January 30, 2009.

Dull
So? People want a better life and it doesn't work out? Hardly an interesting plot. Seems like I've seen the film already from just seeing the trailer and I already feel like 2.5 hours of my life have evaporated... ... Read More maxsmorris About me

Whatever with this subject and field nonsense
My interest has been stoked ever since the reteaming of such an iconic movie couple in DiCaprio and Winslet was announced.  The trailer doesn't look anything special...yet.  Further marketing may change that but this is one I'll be wanting to see. ... Read More Gazdance About me

BORRRIIIINNGGGG!!!!!!
At least American Beauty had humour, and the beauty of a plastic bag blowing in the wind ha. This though going by the trailer will say or do nothing new about being trapped in suburbia. Despite the top pedigree of this (Mendes/Winslet/ the other one from Titanic) I probably give this one a miss. ... Read More Taz69 About me

I love to look at Kate Winslett, any chance of getting Claire Danes involved in this one too. ... Read More sleepwalker About me

Not bad
I will reserve judgment if and only if I decide to go and see this movie. I am a fan of Ms Winslet and she does give some very good performances. It certainly has a feeling to it. ... Read More Noelg25 About me
