On the same day that we learned that Angelina Jolie had filed for divorce from Brad Pitt, Paramount dropped the first teaser trailer for Brad Pitt’s new film, Allied, costarring Marion Cotillard. In fact, the same day that we learned about Jolie’s divorce filing, Page Six had an exclusive story about how Brad and Marion hooked up on the set of the film and that was one of the reasons why Jolie filed. The whole thing became a clusterwhoops of scandal and gossip, especially when everyone was like “Oh and Marion is pregnant too!” As it turns out, Marion is in fact pregnant… and she says that it’s Guillaume Canet’s child. She also basically said that she didn’t have an affair with Brad, so whatever. I tend to believe her, but who even knows? Anyway, now that the dust is settling a little bit around the Brangelina split, Paramount released their full-length trailer for Allied:

It looks… okay. It looks like an amalgam of Casablanca, Inglorious Basterds, The English Patient and Foyle’s War. It also looks like Marion has the sexier role and Brad seems to be phoning it in a little bit?

I also think this is going to be so messy to promote. It’s clear – to me, at least – that Marion wants no part in Brad’s shenanigans, and she doesn’t want a lot of drama around her second pregnancy, presumably. It would be easier to promote this film if Marion and Brad actually had an affair and that was the gossip, you know? Instead, the gossip is terrible, and it’s about whether Brad hit one of his children.

Entertainment Weekly ran a piece a week ago about whether the gossip around Brad will help the film, and one “veteran Hollywood publicist” claimed: “Whenever there is a rumor that two hot movie-star types met on set and are having an affair, it’s not a bad thing. No one at the studio should go out of their way to squash it, whether it’s true or not.” Yeah, but… what if Marion doesn’t want to play that game? EW also says that it will be a breeze to get both of the actors booked on any show, which I do believe. There’s going to be a major competition to see who gets Brad’s first interview.
