EXCLUSIVE: 'Lakeview Terrace' Photos
Filed under: Movie Marketing, Images
Cinematical has received these exclusive photos from the new flick Lakeview Terrace, starring Samuel L. Jackson, Patrick Wilson, and Kerry Washington. The film is a thriller about an interracial couple (Wilson and Washington) who move into their dream home in California; their California dreamin' becomes a nightmare when their next door neighbor, a high-strung cop (Jackson), takes issue with having an interracial couple in the neighborhood. Jackson, the self-appointed neighborhood watchman, increasingly (and intensely, if we know Jackson) harasses them, until the newlyweds decide to fight back.
Take a look at the pics, and let us know what you think about Jackson getting his mean-and-scary on in the flick.

My initial impressions from the trailer (Which most of these pictures are from) wasn't even that Samuel L. was supposed to be racist in the movie. They made the trailer (Released to theaters) out to be that he was just a nosy neighbor who was also a jerk (Kind of like the one in "Deck The Halls" played by Danny DeVito). The one scene in the trailer with the floodlights is exactly like Deck The Halls in fact.
But I guess this is gonna be one of those race card movies from the early previews I've read in EW and on here. That causes me to lose interest rather quickly. I'll stick around because I like the entire cast though. I just hope the movie doesn't focus on this issue for more than 3 minutes, because I am sick and tired of hearing it.

I would be shocked if another trailer takes away Lakeview Terrace's title of "Worst Trailer of the Year" before 2008 is out. At times I thought it was a drama, a thriller, a COMEDY even...i have NO idea what they're going for. The music and font seemed too intense and hardcore to be a comedy, but the stuff they were showing was FAR too goofy and ridiculous to be taken as a serious thriller...
I will be astounded if this movie is good. I really will be.
