Trailer: Crazy Heart
By Craig Kennedy - November 16th, 2009; 8:00 pm
Apple has the trailer for Oscar Flavor of the Minute Crazy Heart starring Jeff Bridges as a down-on-his-luck country musician. Basically Fox Searchlight looked out over the wreckage of Amelia and realized they didn’t have a Slumdog or a Wrestler or a Juno or a Little Miss Sunshine or an Oscar pot to piss in so they dusted off this summer pickup and are pumping it for a few gold statuettes.
If it gets The Dude a richly deserved Oscar, I can abide with that.
Maggie Gyllenhaal and Robert Duvall also star.
For your consideration, Crazy Heart opens in New York and Los Angeles on December 16.
Watch the trailer after the jump.

I wish this weren’t coming out on the heels of The Wrestler. It feels so similar.
Jeff Bridges is way overdue, and talented as anyone working today. I can’t root against him.
Maggie looks good here, too.
