New Trailer for George Clooney's Monuments Men'

Similar questions surround George Clooney's Monuments Men as David O. Russell's American Hustle. Both are star-studded films dealing with potentially weighty material, but the trailers have been less than serious. So should we look at Monuments Men as a definite Oscar contender and less like a historical Ocean's 11?

The latest trailer makes a compelling case that we need to start taking it very seriously. Clooney writes, directs, and stars, joined by Bill Murray, Matt Damon, Cate Blanchett, Jean Dujardin, John Goodman, Bob Balaban, and Hugh Bonneville in the true story of a special squad of WWII soldiers tasked by President Roosevelt with recovering stolen art pieces from the Nazis. The trailer teases an epic scale, but the tonal shift is mostly due to a score that is vastly different from the prior trailer.

Monuments Men opens on December 18th.
