I can't wait to see this. I read the book and now I can't wait to compare it to the screenplay. Lawrence is a fantastic actress and I cannot imagine any other actress playing Tiffany. Yes, Jennifer may be young, but what's a girl to do when mostly all the roles her own age are dealing with teenage vampire love, chainsaw killers, and street dancing. Her acting and her maturity ages her beyond her years, so if she wants to go after adult roles let her. She's not letting her age hold her down and I admire that. No matter the ages, all I know is that this is going to be a great movie with great actors and great chemistry. Enjoy!

Can someone please explain how/why the almost 40 year old Bradley Cooper has an early 20-something like Jennifer Lawrence cast as his love interest? She's great, but this is SUCH a tired dynamic in films. That alone makes me not want to support it (which is of course THE reason men will see it, so they can imagine themselves as getting some young tail). The writing looks promising, but Fail.

So, seriously, who does the editing for The Weinstein Company? This is another trailer ('Lawless', 'Django Unchained') that tries to make the film look about as lousy and mediocre as possible. There is zero sense of story or narrative in the trailer, which would be fine if they were trying to capture the film's tone, but the promo consists of mostly soundbites. Sheesh.

Look forward to this cool film. Jennifer Laurence is pre-mature, independent and self-determinded, she rocks. It's kinda hard to find quite suitable male characters similar to her age as her love interests in films since she looks like bit more mature than them. For example Anton Yelchin in The Beaver (and Like Crazy), he is much younger.

Looks great. Lawrence (and I agree, she never disappoints) and Cooper have wonderful chemistry. Looking forward to this, the book was great and the film looks very good as well.

Looks generic and bland tbh. I don't get the fuss over Jennifer Lawrence either.

I'm glad that Lawrence is still taking smaller roles with the insane box-office clout she has now. She was great in Winter's Bone. Surprisingly bad in X-men, though.

Jennifer Lawrence never disappoints. Chris Tucker and Bradley Cooper should play off well together. Overall, a great ensemble. I recommend reading the novel.

Chris Tucker? Restrained? This IS Science Fiction…

Am I the only person on the planet who doesn't like Jennifer Lawrence?

Looks pretty good. I'm hoping the movie isn't quite as conventional as the trailer, but anyway, the actors look solid.
