Where the hell are the floating heads?
Just wait until two or three months when the official poster is released....
That teaser poster is awesome (which all teaser posters usually are) but I can definitely wait for the actors poster.

i am both terribly excited and very leery of this movie....i just don't know what to expect......Wayne's version was damn good for its time, and i'm real curious as to how they treat the story.....and especially 
about the choice of Jason Patric as Jim Bowie - that I just don't see. Dennis Quaid as Sam Houston is also aquestionable choice imho, but strangely, I can totally see Billy Bob as Davy Crockett. Of course, i'm always glad to see Wes Studi - I love that guy....

I wonder which soundstage they shot the Basement scenes at...
I'd take the time to tell you, but I'm too busy looking for my bike...

Being a native San Antonian, this better kick ass! Who here has been to the Alamo? It's a tiny building; my apartment is much bigger. Amazing, what happened there.
Go Spurs!

I wonder how well this movie will play outside the States. I understand the Alamo is a very important historical event for you Americans, but let's face it, most Europeans don't have a clue about what went down there (my knowledge of the event is limited to the fact that it had something to do with Mexicans and that John Wayne won 
).
But who am I kidding? Hollywood can market pretty much anything (except Terry Gilliam movies), and everybody likes siege films.

I guess Graham Greene was busy.

Also, consider this from the IMDb:
People in Baghdad have been spending their evenings watching Hollywood action movies as their city is being pounded by American bombs and artillery, according to an article appearing in Rupert Murdoch's Australian newspapers. News Limited papers reported today (Tuesday) that a favorite is the Mel Gibson movie The Patriot, in which Gibson plays a revolutionary war figure who reluctantly takes up arms against the British. One video dealer remarked, "During an evening of air strikes, provided there's electricity, customers want to wind down and be taken in by a story in which the good triumph over the evil, like us against the Americans."

That's so twisted. Maybe films like Reefer Madness will become tolerable if we just try to substitute counter-culturalists in place of the moral authorities of that film.

I tried so hard to be a part of this film. I drove down to Austin on the second week of extra auditions and never heard back. I kept calling and they kept saying, "Maybe we'll need you later." Later never came. I've been an extra in one short film and I want to do more now.

Cool poster. But they missed out on a perfect opputunity. The tagline shoulda been "You must Remember this..." or even better:
THIS SUMMER, REMEMBER....
THE ALAMO
THIS SUMMER, REMEMBER....
THE ALAMO
