A Heavily-Accented Philip Seymour Hoffman Leads The ‘A Most Wanted Man’ Trailer
April 12th, 2014 Tyler Hanan “It takes a minnow to catch a barracuda, a barracuda to catch a shark.” The voice of Philip Seymour Hoffman – weighty, measured, and thick with a German accent – dominates much of the trailer for A Most Wanted Man. He is only ever interrupted by a suspicious Robin Wright and a very post-Inception soundtrack; even when he is, its […]
