ILLUSIONIST TRAILER NOW ONLINE

I completely agree with Movie Line who says : Speaking of old-school animation, the new trailer for The Illusionist serves as a perfect reminder of just how captivating the art form can be. Based on an unproduced screenplay by the great Jacques Tati and directed by Sylvain Chomet (The Triplettes of Belleville), even the film’s trailer transports viewers to a new world. And it looks much more fantastic and inspiring than this one.

In addition, it appears that a judge has cleared the way for the release of the film by denying a restraining order filed by the rights holder to the 2006 film of the same name. According to Hollywood Reporter:

It looks like Sony Pictures Classics won't have any problem releasing The Illusionist next month, despite a film by the same name having been released four years ago.

A federal judge in Los Angeles has denied a restraining order request by Illusionist Distribution, LLC, the rights-holder of the previous film, The Illusionist, which came out in 2006 and starred Ed Norton. The plaintiff in the case had sued Sony last month, arguing that the new film -- an Oscar contender, according to pundits -- infringed its trademark and would cause substantial consumer confusion.
