So this movie coming out January 13, 2006. And I really, really want to see it. I don't know why (well, I know that since James Franco's in it, I'm automatically watching it), but I don't think it will be that typical of a romance movie. Well, I'm hoping it isn't. Any thoughts on this movie?

what exactly is the story of tristan and isolde?

i'm not familiar with it. the one i know that's from before romeo and juliet is the story of pyramus and thisbe...

Hmm, you can have a summary of the story here:

james franco is in it? im gonna see it.

but i dont think ive ever heard of it.

edit// his hair looks fake. haha.

gosh, i want to see this film also. their tagline really got to me - "before romeo & juliet, there was.."
i thought it was orlando bloom as james franco's character though. :-(
can't wait till this one comes out.

well that story really sucks.

^Haha, I know, but the movie will hopefully be better =]

that looks so good it looks sad... and it reminds me of shakespeare in love

I'm soo there.

Franco is <3.


But..it looks so sad. =/

^gosh. if that's how the movie is gonnna turn out, i def don't want to see that. lol
That's like slit-my-wrists sad.

The trailer looked really good, go james franco for getting a leading role like that. I've only seen him as the pretty boy in chick flicks, and usually not even the lead pretty boy, just the beauitful but dumb sidekick, so i'd def like to see him in this role. The movie looks sad, but interesting, I'm sure I'll wind up seeing it :)

^I absolutely agree. I'm excited for his role in this. Hopefully, this movie won't make us cry that much.

o0o looks like a good movie from what i read up there

i wanna go see it..

I am sure they will "Hollywood" up the plot. Probably make it a little less crazy...

Hopefully it is good.

james franco is getting big he has another movie up called Annapolis. i guess imma watch both cause my best friend played a person in the background and we might see him hopefully lol. but everyone i guess knows him as the villian from spidermann.

JAMES FRANCO JAMES FRANCO JAMES FRANCO JAMES FRANCO JAMES FRANCO JAMES FRANCO JAMES FRANCO JAMES FRANCO JAMES FRANCO JAMES FRANCO JAMES FRANCO JAMES FRANCO JAMES FRANCO JAMES FRANCO!!

Yeah. The trailer looks really hot.

^LAUREN is hot. and i like your new avatarrrrr.

ahaha anyway i wanna see it.

just saw the preview for this movie.. it looks pretty good!

I just realized something, she's from Underworld.

James franco is Hoooooot.
I want to see it. And it it sucks, at least James Franco was in it.

its a true story too. my friend is madly obsessed with it.

^no it's not.

seriously, it's medieval romance. that's like saying king arthur was real.

^ Yeah..it is.


Evidence is saying that he possibly was..King Arthur real..

that's like a theory though. even if there's evidence, it doesn't prove that the king arthur STORIES are true, which is really my point i guess.

i have never heard of tristan and isolde but the movie looks good! :]

eep, i'm so seeing this. james franco is sex.

that actor is always doing some cool movies. he reminds me of a younger brad pitt.

That reminds me of the story of Arthur, Lancelot, and Guenivere..... and idk why but I dont think it would be that romantic...just violent and sexual


I agree...it reminds me nothing of Romeo and Juliet...

Tristan and Isolde is a English/Irish tale, I believe. And it's around King Arthur's time.

Isolde is married to this King but she's madly in love in Tristan. They can't be together. The King finds out and sends Tristan away. He marries a girl because the girl reminds him of Isolde. Tristan starts dying and wishes to see Isolde. He writes her a letter. In it, he says if she decides to come see him, her ship should have white sails. If she doesn't wish to see him, then there should be black sails. She goes to see him but Tristan's wife tells him that the ship had black sails. Tristan dies from grief. When Isolde sees that he died, she then dies from a broken heart.

I want to see it soo bad.

Isolde: How many did you love before me?
Tristan: None.
Isolde: And how many will you love after?
Tristan: None.

I cant wait until it comes out!

Why can't it be true? Its not like it's going to hurt anyone if it isnt.

i MUST see it.

james franco = the sex.

I just looked up and watched that trailer..YUM. :) Haha, the movie looks a little too obvious though. So..I think most of us has established the fact that James Franco is indeed one good looking man :)

darn i thought james franco was heath ledger =P haha but then he's in casanova and i cant wait to see that neither!

yeaa cant wait to see this =)

what are you talking about?

Perhaps he reminds you of Brad Pitt, but I think James Franco is a better actor than he is.


Oh yes I want to see it too. The trailor is quite intreiging (sp?). Looks like a tear jerker tho, but I'm up to the challenge lol.

me so gonna watch ittttt!!!!!!!!!

I want to watch it because James Franco is in it. And hes hot. And theres a sex scene.

I have no idea.

I still wanna seeeee it. Franco is <3

Have all of you James Franco fans even seen any of his non-Spiderman movies?

The house movie..I can't remember what it's called but I saw it..a long time ago.


and dont start on it..

is James Franco bi. cause i heard rumors that he had a relationship with a guy. i dont know if its true. did anyone else hear anything?

the names are werid when they say before Romeo and Juliet...there as tristan and isolde..it isn't as catchy and romeo and juliet


i wuold probably see it b/c of teh romance...but i don't like those old time period movies

That movie looks really cute, Romeo and Juliet sounds better then Tristan and Isolde but it does look like a good movies, so I might see it . Depends if I have time.

Me agrees.
The movie looks good. Hopefully it won`t be like that sad-butt story.

Yeah, I thought this looked pretty horrible.

(Where is the vomit emoticon. I know there is a vomit one!)



(There we are.)

That's pretty much what this movie sounds like—cheese.

How rude.

And wow, the movie was nothing like that...

That's so Romeo-and-Juliet-ish.

now this movie is growing on to me!
