I'm Upgrading Josh Hartnett From "Sell" To "Don't Buy"

I've always kind of thought that if you got Jimmy Fallon to stop smiling so much and being so twitchy and "on," you'd end up with Josh Hartnett. But now I don't know. This five minute promo for Hartnett's new movie I Come with the Rain (via Twitch) is hitting on such a strange rhythm that I can't tell if Hartnett's still horrible or not. Did he get good somehow? (sorry about the audio delay, it's NOT MY FAULT, but the video is still totally watchable):

This might be the first time that I've ever said this on this site, but this movie looks really good (uh oh, someone call the Grouch Police, we've got a jumper.) I mean, it could easily go either way, but there's something so languid and bizarre about the way this trailer is cut. It looks like Lost in Translation meets Oldboy. Besides, it's going to be forever until we can see Ong Bak 2, so we've got to keep ourselves busy somehow.

At this point, is Elias Koteas the poor or the rich man's Christopher Meloni?

Yes. Also, massive attack.

Trailer does look good though he is looking more and more like Josh Brolin, so there's that.

Wouldn't it be great if the kid that played Annyong was in this? If only because I haven't seen him around since he avenged his grandfather, and their untrademarked delicious brown taste.
