The narrator in the first few seconds sounds like Martin Sheen.

Edit - Cool. It is him. This is from an IMAX movie: http://www.amazon.com/IMAX-Presents-Straight-Helicopters-Action/dp/B000EQ5U8M

Was that Martin Sheen as his nemesis? In!

If the world does end, I think Martin Sheens soothing tones will make it easier for all of us.

He sounds like Martin Sheen...

Regardless of whether the actual film sucks or not, this trailer has unforgivably bad music mixing going on. Zero punch whatsoever. The E.S. Posthumus mix from the original Sam Raimi film's first big trailer makes this sound like a kindergarten kazoopalooza.

Actually, the kindergarten kazoopalooza would have sounded better. It would at least have scored points for bravery.

And exactly who is supposed to fill the enormous galoshes left by J K Simmons as J Jonah Jameson? Probably a very hard-working, well-intentioned actor with no shortage of talent, but I feel for him, whoever he may be, without even having seen his face or heard his voice. Clearly the studio saw fit not to include him in this trailer.

I want to believe this won't be a bad film. It will be a very long time before a real-life President lives up to the fictional model created by Martin Sheen. I have zero beef with Denis Leary as Captain Stacey, nor with Rhys Ifans as Curt Connors, even as badly as I wanted to see Dylan Baker do it under Raimi's skilled hand. I want to give people a fair shot at doing good work. But the leadup to this film ain't making it easy.

[EDIT] -- Just to prove the point, it's a poor quality link, but THIS is how you mix a trailer:

I miss Sam Raimi mixing with Marvel, but I have reasonably high hopes for Joss Whedon.

Martin Sheen sounds totally wrong for this.

What's my av, you ask? Have you ever seen "Apocalypse Now"? That's Captain Willard (Martin Sheen), slowly emerging from the river, ready to assassinate Colonel Kurtz. One of my all time favorite movies.

I thought you might like that video, if for no other reason than the tribute being paid to health professionals, both research and treatment alike.

You can turn your non-existent pager off now.

Martin Sheen is shorter.

Wow, I didn't know Martin Sheen could sing.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

Actually, just researching. Martin Sheen played the crazy prez in The Dead Zone. He's the spittin image.

If figured I'd give it to R&R this time instead of music, which gets all the fun.
