Extraordinary Measures Trailer Online

So one of these men played Indiana Jones for years; one played a decent pretender to his crown - but now, Harrison Ford and Brendan Fraser are working together to cure dread diseases in Extraordinary Measures, the generically-titled medical drama that's just released its trailer online.

Based - in the fine old tradition of, say, Lorenzo's Oil - on a true story, Brendan Fraser and Keri Russell here play parents whose two children are afflicted with a rare, and fatal, genetic disorder. In desperation they seek out anti-social but brilliant research scientist who might, maybe, be able to help.

We have a feeling that this is one of those trailers that tells you pretty much the whole story of the film, but there looks to be a fair amount of emotion, conflict, redemption and possibly miracle-working in there, so if you're into triumph-over-the-odds stories, this could be perfect for you.

Extraordinary Measures (not to be confused with Extreme Measures or extraordinary rendition) is out in the UK on February 26.

Meh!
I have no doubt it'll be solid, weepy, crowd-pleasing stuff bit seriously, Brendan Fraser needs another Gods And Monsters (and to lose some weight) and Harrison Ford needs to go back to something a bit edgier...another Mosquito Coast would go down a treat. ... Read More

looks like a TV movie
and WOW does Fraser ever look pudgy! I have to be honest as a ferocious Ford fan I would not even click on the link for this if it was anyone else. This looks pretty boring stuff and sticky sweet. Good that he's still making movies but not stuff like this. Please Harrison, if you're gonna do grown-up movies, go see Steven, he's good at stuff like that. ... Read More

Same Old, Same Old
Hard to get excited about this one. Harrison's output has been decidedly dogdy in recent years. This doesn't sound like anything special either and you can tell from the lack of comments about it that others feel the same. ... Read More
