An Entire Post Dedicated To The Surprising (To Me, At Least) Presence Of Lee Pace In The Trailer For Tarsem's The Fall

I've really got to get better at looking up things like this of interest to myself that are just random enough to escape my usually grabby brains: Lee Pace, wunderkind of Wonderfalls and Pushing Daisies, apparently stars in The Fall, the second feature-length film by Tarsem Singh, he of The Cell fame (or infamy, depending upon your appreciation of visuals ripped off from a couple dozen other artists and blendered into an acid-trippy buffet of sensory-overloaded nonsense... and/or Jennifer Lopez), a fact I only discovered upon watching the trailer and having an "Is that... could it be... crap it is!" moment.

According to AICN, where I found the trailer, The Fall has already played all around the globe, just not here in the States as of yet - although all IMDb says is that it's played a bunch of festivals and opened this past January in Russia - here it's slated to come out in March. According to this article from June of last year, the film's been plagued by bad buzz ever since critics panned it at the Toronto Film Festival of 2006 (!). The trailer's got a "Magnificent!" quote from Roger Ebert, for whatever that's worth though.

Anyway, y'all know I adore Mr. Pace, so I went and took screen-grabs of his presence in the trailer, ignoring all of Tarsem's visual-tics in the process... a sleeveless, mascara-wearing Lee Pace is well worth my ten bucks, at least.
