It's always exciting to see Kirk Lazarus in Vietnam era dramas. I'm surprised Tug Speedman doesn't have a small role at least..... since they are good friends.
After the success of 'Tropic Thunder: the true story behind the making of the most expensive fake true war story ever', the Oscar and his new found acting credentials, Speedman understandably wanted to avoid being typecast as "the Vietnam War guy" so he declined the role that was offered.
Robert Downey Jr is in the series. That is all I need to know. I am excited. Funny how his look often changes. Really Nice !!! This trailer looks Great !!!
Man... I had a hard time to spot Robert in 3 of the 4 roles until I arrived to 1:47 in the video. Robert Downey Jr is insane, watching his transformation's skills basically makes yourself nuts! What an actor... and how good the makeup artists are dammit... the 4th of the roles { 1:50 } is basically still unrecognizable, it doesn't either makes sense is really him even watching and watching and watching all over again!!!
@@Neags i agree actually, but the director is fantastic, RDJR has been doing some immense work lately and the main lead just looks incredibly convincing in this if you ask me
@@Bunkerhillburning It's a novel, it's meant to be fiction. "Suspension of disbelief" is the one thing ALL fiction asks of the reader. The question is not "is this believable?" but "does this story capture a truth greater than the sum of its parts?" This book offers more truths-often by asking important questions-about human beings and the events depicted within than any single nonfiction account ever could. I get that not everyone studied literature or cares about this stuff. But to focus on whether or not the plot is plausible is to miss so much of what makes this novel-and many, many others-so great. 💜
Somehow, the title "Sympathizer" sounds like the name of a Denzel Washington action flick where he's actually a former Navy Seal hiding in plain sight as a therapist. But then his past catches up with him and threatens the life of the hot barista chick at the coffee shop downstairs, who ultimately gets caught up in the mess and reveals "You're not really a therapist... are you?"
Loved the Tony Stark glasses removal... poor RDJ having to wear prosthetics, but I can understand it if he's playing a character who needs to be disguised.
I looked up at this ad at 0:45 without know what it was about, and seeing RDJ take his glasses off like that, I thought this was another legacy trailer for iron man and/or Tony Start returns tease trailer. 😂
The title had me thinking "The Equalizer" without Denzel, maybe a white collar version starring RDJ. But after watching this trailer, I have absolutely no idea what direction this film is taking.
He's disguised as another dude, playin another dude, dressed as another dude only to be another dude... RDJ!!! 🤯🤯🤯
i understood that reference!!!
If it's going to be thundering, it best be tropical.
thats what i put (:
And the internet goes to...
ah you bastard I was thinking the same thing lmaoo
Director: "So we need to find 4 international world known actor to play as....."
RDJ: "...I'll take all... "
I'm the dude dress as the dude disguised as another dude.
Trophic Thunder intensifies
😂😂😂
Lol won't be the first time
With the money of all 4 actors put together for RDJ
So happy to see Kirk Lazarus once again on the big screen!
He back at playing the dude disguised as the other dude. I can’t wait to see this at night in my heeaad mooooviez!
Never go full R 😅
came out of nowhere🤣🤣🤣
Noooo it's trueee 😂😂😂😂😂
at last
Robert looks like Ben Kingsley.
Also Jimmy Caan around maybe 2010.
It's all part of a plan to become the new Peter Sellers by playing at least three roles in every movie.
Nah he's just a dude playing a dude disguised as Ben Kingsley
I was gonna say Tommy Lee Jones 😂
He looks like Hunter S. Thompson
Yessss!
HBO: And which role do you want to play in this show, Mr. Downey.
Robert Downey JR.: Yes.
one thing i can confirm direction is of another level.
Bro already watched the movie
@@MrLachapell is produced and directed by Park Chan-Wook, so...
Its a series not a movie.@@MrLachapell

How are you surprised? Did you forget he was practically blacklisted after his last Scorcher film forced the studio into bankruptcy
@@elitestar how was the studio supposed to know. scorcher 1-100 were box office hits.

Now that the Oscar is won, he aims for the Emmy. The absolute madman.
You're assuming he's going to win for Oppenheimer?
@@4sfield527 No doubt.
@@divanshukumarmahajan4803 love your confidence and RDJ
@@4sfield527 He was won, it was obvious
@@4sfield527 He was won, it was obvious
This is a Park Chan Wook material and i am game for it.
Glad to see RDJ again ❤
the snapped killed him! he has returned!
So glad to see Park Chan Wook back at it again. Was already happy to see him back with "Decision to Leave", but man am I glad to see him back so soon.
Mr Robert Downey Jr!!! my role model! 🙌🔥❤️
“Why let other actors play a role when you can do it yourself.”
-Robert Downey Jr.
hey, it saves money in the budget. win win
Excited about this story with characters set in one of my favorite time periods 70s.
The more RDJ spreads his wings, the wider they become.👍
Park Chan-wook...
Is all the assurance I need to know that this will be awesome 😊
A24, Vietnamese, and Robert Downey Jr., I’m sold!
Glad RDJ is finally getting to do all the serious acting he wants.
Kirk Lazarus must've been crazy on set with his method acting
I simply can't wait. It's one of my favourite novels and the trailers look insanely good.
RDJ is playing as many characters as Tom Hanks in Polar express!
Director: How many roles do you want to play in this?
RDJ: Yes.
Looks like an absolute masterpiece.
overused word
@@Neags i agree actually, but the director is fantastic, RDJR has been doing some immense work lately and the main lead just looks incredibly convincing in this if you ask me
I really wanna read the book now
I read it a couple years back. it's good but not entirely believable.
its great
@@Bunkerhillburning As a Vietnamese, it's believeable. Which part not believable for you?

At this point, I'm convinced the asian dude is robert downey jr
Love RDJ, but this really sold me the second it said Park Chan-Wook.
Robert Downy Jr. as Art Garfunkel looks great!
I’m happy to see both RDJ and Sandra Oh making more movies.
This film looks amazing. I fear it will be under rated. I bet it’s going to be great.
Because this is a Robert Downey Jr project, I am going to check it out.
In American works, Koreans and Chinese people wear kimonos
NOW THIS is some art we need
It’s about time Hoa Xuande gets a bit of recognition
Looks awesome! Gonna watch it.
this is going to be an awesome birthday gift, thank you HBO
Looks good
Had me at Park Chan-wook
Finally Kirk Lazarus gets a roll he needs to shine
That makeup job is incredible.
I can’t believe how good this looks im excited
Fun fact: Sandra Oh was voiced Castaspella in She-Ra and the Princesses of Power.
Now thats how you make a trailer.
is this the biography of Kirk Lazarus from Tropic Thunder???
Happy for Kirk Lazarus' team-up with A24!
Alright, 30 seconds in I've seen enough, this looks amazing
RDJ in 4 different shots is cool. Man!
... AND Robert Downey Jr in Robert Downey Jr. production!
Gives Carson Clay vibez 😆!

1:46 tropic thunder moment 😂
Robert's in his Sellers phase and I'm here for it.
Attention, breaking news//
1:Eraser by Arnold
2: Equalizer by denzel
3:Sympathizer by Robert Downey
4:Fertilizer by Al Pacino
I looked up at this ad at 0:45 without know what it was about, and seeing RDJ take his glasses off like that, I thought this was another legacy trailer for iron man and/or Tony Start returns tease trailer. 😂
"How much makeup, prostetics and costume-changes do you want?"
Robert Downey Jr: "Yes."
Wow, this looks great, and it seems like a passion project for RDJ.
From Vietnam, this looks amazing ❤
Stop lying Califolk
So after the Oscar, RDJ is going for the Emmy. This looks great and it will be a major contender at the Emmys
Sak May Dik is the director ever and THE SYMPATHIZER prooves it
Looks great!
Looking forward to another amazing Kirk Lazarus performance! The man is a great method actor, will to do anything role for the art of cinema
The title threw me, but this looks good.
When I read the title "The Sympathizer" I just thought "Oh, so he's like The Equalizer, but nice."
I am happy that it is a miniseries
You had my attention with RDJ. You have my wallet with Old Boy's director cause his works slaps.
Yes! Finally a new series is coming to wash the putrid taste of what is the current season of True Detective. Bring it on, I'm here for it.
The title had me thinking "The Equalizer" without Denzel, maybe a white collar version starring RDJ.
But after watching this trailer, I have absolutely no idea what direction this film is taking.
HBO never dissapoints
Wow, this looks badass, I'm in! 😅
Wish that was going to theaters 🙂
Robert using the same contact lenses from Tropic Thunder
I think Robert Downey JR is in this one.
Sounds as though it should have an interesting plot. I'm always hoping to see more movies that do.
Hope the movie is as good as the book ! a bit reluctant to watch it cause the book is an absolute masterpiece for me.
This looks to be a great watch👀
Robert looks exactly like Sandra Oh. Incredible.
just when you thought you couldn't get enough of RDJ!
RDJ reprising his role as the best method actor
Great. Made me remember Scorsese's the Departed 🤙👍
PLEASE HAVE A PHYSICAL RELEASE!
Good to see yu
👏👏👍 perfect
Kirk Lazarus is one of our generations greatest Talents.
Robert is a great actor.
1 guy I am watching it for... ❤❤❤
Playing 4 role in one movie is crazy
at 1:48 I thought that was Alan Arkin! Thought for a second Oh his last movie before he passed, no wait RDJ!!!!
Park Chan Wook + A24? Take all that is mine!
Pretty sure I saw David Duchovny in there too, he's worth the mention. Could've gone with 3x Robert Downey Jr instead of 3x!
RDJ making great transition to play all the elderly roles. He was great in Oppenheimer
Elderly 😭 nooo
Downey will win an Oscar one day.....
He's nominated and actually has a chance of winning this time
I can see myself absolutely lapping up this show like a dog with a bowl of milk.
Bro got the deadpool skin treatment
We have an Oscar nomination for the 97th Academy Awards already: Best Make-up
Wow this looks amazing
A well made trailer.
nothing is more important than independent and freedom
Something that these exiles never understand.
LOVE THE WAY HOW RDJ EVOLVING TO BE THE NEXT BIG THING LIKE AL PACHINO OR ROBERT DE NIRO.
