I think the credit of the \”uncovering\” goes to IMDb user alpha-team that shared it 4 or 5 days ago, and not to The Film Stage.. As Jordan is reading the IMDb board…

Can I just go out on a whim–and a limb–and say this is going to be Terrence Malick\’s masterpiece?

for those that have commented on TFS and IMDb, I\’ve posted the following message:

I actually have Google Alerts set up for \”The Tree of Life\” and \”Terrence Malick\” and these popped up, along with almost every article I posted on the film thus far. I always give credit where credit is due and you\’ve seen the IMDb boards sourced before on the site. If I found them there, I would have definitely given them a shout-out.

I came on here after finding the photos myself, but if you would like a credit I\’d be happy to add one since you guys are as big of fans as I am.

Just let me know,

Good fucking glory…

Words fail me. Chastain leaps out of every one of the pictures that she\’s in. She\’s got to be a shoe-in for an Oscar nomination, right? Category would obviously depend on how meaty the role is…

Woah. Can\’t wait.

BTW, i just realized, that this is the first movie Malick has done that involves a modern setting. At least with Penn\’s portion of the film.

Some of those pictures (in particular, Chastain hugging the two boys in the desert) have a deeply moving quality–they\’re like a great painting–they recall Andrew Wyeth somehow. Hard to explain, but….Malick is a great fan of Wyeth\’s \”Christina\’s World\” and somehow those picture have the same poignancy and longing.

MINOR SPOILER: In the script, the prehistoric earth and space scenes are imagined by the Sean Penn character. Based on some shots in the trailer of him in what appear to be his office, he seems to be some kind of geologist or surveyor or something (there\’s a hard hat conspicously placed on a desk behind him in one shot); the script doesn\’t actually specify a job for him, I don\’t think….

Could the dinosaur and cosmos sequences be a story that Brad Pitt is telling his young sons?

I\’m not flicking through those in case of mild spoilers but holy crap.

These are amazing.
I can\’t remember the last time I was this excited to see a film.

Pitt looks great here, an Oscar nomination for him as probably one for Chastain. That one picture of them sitting with touching hands, wow. These pictures radiate with the life of those times of the 40\’s and 50\’s. TerryM is a genius.

Can\’t wait to see this!!!!!!

Yeah, but that\’s all the Film Stage — troll those boards, a little obssesed, does so more power to them. the IMDB message boards aren\’t a publication.
