The Namesake - the movie!

Arun · May 29th, 2006, 23:25

The book was great, and hopefully the movie will be worthy (and include plenty of India footage).

Mrs. Arun threw in her two cents about the trailer here.

I so want to read the book. I hear that Kal Penn, the dude from Harold & Kumar, Van Wilder, etc is in the film. It sounds so interesting, and just want to read, see more media on "ABCD's".

New-South-Welshman · May 29th, 2006, 23:43

Just saw the trailer now! Goddamn, that movie looks awesome! I wonder when it comes out in Australia? Now I am definately going to go and borrow the book. Thanks for the link Arun!

Thanks Arun!

look forward to seeing the movie...really enjoyed the book too. i can't remember the movie names on top of my head...(sleepy)...but last year, every Friday a "ABCD" related movie came on stars TV (i believe it was!)... I like these types ..they're realistic. Can't wait for the release of The Namesake

Saw the trailer when I went to see Water. It looks great. Anyone know when it's coming out?

New-South-Welshman · Jul 12th, 2006, 00:15

I say it's best to check out the IMDb. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0433416/ And then to check out "Release Dates"

New-South-Welshman · Nov 2nd, 2006, 20:54

Has anybody seen this yet? I hear it was out on selected cinemas but fully released early next year. I've read the book and absolutely loved it. Now I crave for the movie.

Awesome - Thanks for the review Merchant

Is this movie out yet? Saw the trailer recently on Asian Variety Show on Sunday mornings....Kal Penn looks like he did a fabulous job...

Reminds me of my life a little bit...the story I mean

Namesake starts 23 March here in Santa Cruz, California. Usually we get these a week or three behind major city markets. It's playing the arthouse circuit.

ploink · Mar 6th, 2007, 02:16

I saw The Namesake a couple of weeks ago. Coincidentally, I had just finished the book a couple of days earlier. I liked it, it was beautiful movie, even though not the best movie ever. I wonder how it appeared to those who had not read the book which spans three decades or so...?

skell · Mar 6th, 2007, 06:28

I saw the previews and also thinks it looks great. It's opening near me on Friday, March 9.

Out in NY today. Will definitely try to catch it this weekend or next. Got great reviews on Rotten Tomatoes.
