“The Dead Don’t Hurt” Trailers, Poster and Images

Viggo Mortensen’s new Western feature, The Dead Don’t Hurt, written and directed by Mortensen, blends the action, grit, and thrills of the American West with a captivating story of two pioneers embarking on a life journey fraught with obstacles. 

Hopefully, Mortensen sets this film apart with his unique storytelling, keeping the audience on the edge. 

The story depicts the conflict between revenge and forgiveness and offers a unique female-forward perspective, adding depth and complexity. 

The film premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival, where Vicky Krieps received the Tribute Performer Award. 

The story begins with star-crossed lovers on the western U.S. frontier in the 1860s. Krieps plays Vivienne Le Coudy, a fiercely independent woman who embarks on a relationship with Danish immigrant Holger Olsen, played by Mortensen. 

After meeting Olsen in San Francisco, she agrees to travel to his home near Elk Flats, Nevada, where they start a life together. The outbreak of the civil war separates them when Olsen makes a fateful decision to fight for the Union. Vivienne must fend for herself in a place controlled by corrupt Mayor Rudolph Schiller, played by Danny Huston, and his evil business partner, powerful rancher Alfred Jeffries, played by Garret Dillahunt. Alfred’s violent, wayward son, Weston, played by Solly McLeod, aggressively pursues Vivienne, who is determined to resist his unwanted advances. 

Olsen returns from the war. He and Vivienne must confront and make peace with the person each has become. It’s a portrait of a passionate woman determined to stand up for herself in an unforgiving world dominated by ruthless men.

“The Girl in the Spider’s Web” Trailers, Movie Clips, Vignettes & Posters

I read the late Stieg Larsson’s books and thought they were fantastic. I remember an abundance of coffee. I even asked a friend from Sweden, “Do people in Sweden drink that much coffee?”

He said they did. I thought Americans and Italians drank a lot of coffee. Larsson’s stories feature lots of coffee served day and night.

Directed by Fede Alvarez, we again follow the dynamic figure and title character of the celebrated book series created by Larsson. Claire Foy plays the vigilante Lisbeth Salander this time. Salander returns to the movie screen in The Girl in the Spider’s Web, a first-time adaptation of the recent global bestseller.

Looking at the photos and footage of Foy as Salander, it is refreshing to see the Golden Globe winner play the outcast vigilante defender. Steven Knight, Fede Alvarez, and Jay Basu adapted the screenplay.

Alvarez is from Uruguay and is best known for his movie Don’t Breathe, a horror movie

The cast includes Sverrir Gudnason, Lakeith Stanfield, Sylvia Hoeks, Stephen Merchant, Claes Bang, Christopher Convery, Synnøve Macody Lund,  and Vicky Krieps.

The red poster is fantastic because it shows the pensive character and her intent to pull off this unbelievable twist in the circumstances.

The Vignette shows us Lisbeth Salander as Foy describes her character.

The three movie clips are intense and offer a moment of entertainment. Claire Foy’s accent in the “Sisters” clip is unbelievable. She nails it.

The trailer below is called the third trailer, but I don’t know where the second trailer is. Anyway, the movie is looking good. I just saw Claire Foy win an Emmy for The Crown. This girl can act. Is that her sister?
