Time Traveler’s Wife hits the present


Film Trailers by Filmtrailer.com

With the last explosion from the action season almost faded, fans of more schmultzy genres might find it safe to start returning to the movie theatres…

While The Time Traveler’s Wife (released today), based on the award-winning novel by Audrey Niffenegger, certainly isn’t a chick-flick, it’s not exactly fun for all of the family – despite the fact that the central male character has the potential to become a hero to guys worldwide (he disappears for days at a time yet manages to convince his wife that he’s been time travelling. Incredible). 

Another bonus for dudes being dragged to see the flick is Rachel McAdams and her limited wardrobe… Just don’t let her know this…

The actress has been getting her knickers in a twist over the attention that nude scenes get given, stating that “when you’re playing a fictional character, it [getting your kit off] is as normal and mundane as eating breakfast. What bothers me is our culture’s obsession with nudity. It shouldn’t be a big deal, but it is.

“I think this overemphasis with nudity makes actors nervous. There’s the worry about seeing one’s body dissected, misrepresented, played and replayed on the internet.”
