SBXL: Magnolia Films - "The World's Fastest Indian"


There's not a lot of plot setup, but lots of fast-moving visuals in the for The World's Fastest Indian, which stars Sir Anthony Hopkins as a New Zealander who rebuilds an old motorcycle to use as he tries to break the landspeed record.  It's probably the shortest of the trailer or two I've already seen for this movie and definitely is designed to appeal to a crowd looking for something flashy. 

I think, though, that anyone who sees this spot and thinks the movie will be entirely like it will be disappointed. From what I've heard the movie is much more a character-driven piece and not an action film.  Hopkins looks like he's solid as always but there's not a lot of actual performance to base that on. Most shots of him have him skidding along the ground or lying there after a crash.

Check out the spot here at IFILM.
