Oh ... and it looks as though they've dropped the name change ... though Li was the only actor credited in the trailer the film itself was referred to just as Hero rather than Jet Li's Hero which, while not a huge deal, is a good thing in my books.

And Kill Bill was quite good. The rumors of Tarantino including such things as an actual plot line this time are, in fact, true.

A trailer for the film has been running in front of this week's top two films (Kill Bill Volume 2 and The Punisher) which is some prime ad space and doesn't come cheap.

It's been a while since I worked in a theater, but that's not how I remembered it working - the studio provides the trailers, along with a list of suggested movies, and it's basically up to the theater management (often at the local, not corporate level) to decide what goes where. Trailers that arrive attached to a print will generally stay with it, but often, it's all about what the guy does in the projection booth Thursday night.

As soon as I knew that the trailer was going to be for "Hero", the only thing I could say was "It's about f*cking time." I was a bit miffed to see a huge plot spoiler in the trailer, and they basically ruin the whole "Rashomon"-esque aspect of the movie's structure, but who cares?!? This trailer means I'm (hopefully) one step closer to seeing "Hero" in the theatres!

Saw the trailer....lookin good, lookin good!
