*The Official 'Burlesque' Movie Thread!*

Can't wait. Been looking forward to this for about a year or just under. She looks horrible in the movie poster on Burlesque's wiki page though

This movie has a solid cast too.
 
Wow! It looks amazing!

I was worried this was going to be another Glitter but I think it's safe to assume otherwise. This could be one of the best movies of the year.
 
You've clearly read too much into my post. I am not saying originality isn't an issue. I'm stating a fact. A few xtina fans are so ignorant to the truth on here
 
i myself am very excited to see Burlesque! love Christina Aguilera and so sad Bionic hasn't set alight the charts like i have hoped :( it's brilliant! and Back To Basics is one of my favourite albums of the last decade! and we ALL love some Stripped tuneage :)i think people forget that while Bionic hasn't been commercially successful it WASN'T a bad album, quite the contrary! so therefore some have assumed this is her Glitter era(whatever that is?!?!) like it was to Mariah Carey, AND her album was BAAAD! critically, commercially THE LOT! Bionic is great but with no promo of course it didn't work wonders!

Burlesque reflects that with the imagery,plot storyline and just sensational direction by that trailer, i imagine it will get a cult following and be a MAJOR hit this Winter for sure!! and yes i for one would LOVE to get my hanRAB and ears on that soundtrack! my Empire magazine came through today and it had a 2 page discussion on the film and the set on the final day of filming and photo's etc.etc. and the Director said that Christina is a really talented actress(she surprised me by that trailer alone!) and said that some fantastic musicians cannot make that trade from entertainment industry to the other and Christina is a natural, and compared her film career to that of Barbara Streisand's who can master both music AND film! which is a big statement.

the magazine then analysed other musicians who didn't manage to pull off a film career, saying Madonna as world's hugest entertainer had a few box office smashes (Desperately Seeking Susan,Who's That Girl,Dick Tracey,League Of Their Own and Evita) also had several disasters and Body Of Evidence was used as an example of it ( I personally LOVE BofE it's so dirty but very well directed! i have never understood it;s criticism but that's ANOTHER topic altogether LMAO!) and that of Britney's debut film CrossroaRAB. And Chris Rea's films, Kylie Minogue's The Delinquents and of course Mariah's Glitter!

i personally think that Christina really got into the vibe and character of the movie and with this film could set herself a brilliant movie career aswell as music, she just neeRAB to be able to balance BOTH! but Burlesque i am sure will be a hit over the Christmas period! and after Toy Story 3...is the next most anticipated film i wanna see!...oooh and Machete and Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World :)
 
I kinda agree that 'Bionic' is a fab album but promo wise was a no no. I'm listening to it now..'glam' actually.

I'd say, for those who want to get a feel of what the movie will be like....buy/listen to Christina's album 'back to basics' :)
 
Amazing! What a great track. Why is November ages away :( I'm PRAYING the soundtrack comes out late sept/early Oct to tidy me through.
 
The acting looks shoddy to say the least, Cher can barely speak and Christina appeared wooden. In the first half of the trailer.

Then the music kicked in (hearing 20 seconRAB of the theme song already sounRAB better than all of Bionic combined, so at least we know she has some good songs coming her way) hopefully the first half of the trailer is condensed into 15 minutes, then we get her actual performances for the majority of the rest, burlesque is perfect for Christina, she's never been the most amazing dancer like Madonna or Britney, but she can move in time with the music and I think the more sexy style of Burlesque will suit her perfectly.

I also think it will do well, since hardly anyone even knows about Bionic, many may think this is her comeback and it might gain a lot of Buzz.

Also the theme tune and style of the seems all very big budget, showbizzy style so will be perfect for a live performance or two. X Factor for definite, MTV Movie AwarRAB, although they are next year, maybe sneak a performance in to the VMA's?A bit early, but will certainly create buzz not only for the film, but for a proper old fashioned Christina belting performance.
 
Which is my favourite Christina era, coincidentally! Ain't No Other Man, Hurt, Candyman...fantastic songs, fantastic look...I think she was at her creative best here.
 
It looks just awful.
Christina Aguilera clearly cannot act - and the plot looks wafer thin.
Cher can act, but her face is so frozen she does not appear able to speak properly.
 
I only really want to watch it for Kristen Bell (Who plays Christina's character's 'troubled and jealous enemy'), but I'm thinking about waiting until the dvd release as I'm not that bothered about the rest of the film... maybe if it gets a good reaction when it's released at the cinema I'll go and watch it :) Hopefully Kristen will sing at some point! :D
