Frost Specced.
"When the president does it that means that it is not illegal." The new trailer for Ron Howard's film adaptation of Frost / Nixon is now online, starring Frank Langella, Michael Sheen, Oliver Platt, Matthew McFadyen, Sam Rockwell, Rebecca Hall, Toby Jones, and (naturally) Clint Howard. I'm intrigued by this project (haven't seen the play), but this, sadly, is a pretty poor trailer ("In a world where the president blah blah blah, these men stood up for the truth...") And, while I know he played the part on Broadway, Langella's Nixon-voice sounds even more distracting to me than Christian Bale's bat-rasp.

Anytime Frank Langella is in anything, I think "Hey, it's Skeletor from the He-Man movie!"
OK, the bat rasp -- I've heard lots of criticism of the bat rasp, and I don't really get it. Did you want Batman to sound like Bruce Wayne? So what if it's a little over the top, he's running around in a bat costume!
I honestly didn't notice it until I read reviews.
I don't particularly mind the bat-rasp, although I do think it made Bale's job harder in the final act of TDK.
That being said, some folks obviously found it distracting.
