THE DAMNED UNITED - SONY PICTURES CLASSICS

In Theaters 10/9/09 NY and LA and will expand to many cities in weeks to follow.

Set in 1960's and 1970's England, The Damned United tells the confrontational and darkly humorous story of Brian Clough's doomed 44 day tenure as manager of the reigning champions of English football Leeds United. Previously managed by his bitter rival Don Revie, and on the back of their most successful period ever as a football club, Leeds was perceived by many to represent a new aggressive and cynical style of football - an anathema to the principled yet flamboyant Brian Clough, who had achieved astonishing success as manager of Hartlepool and Derby County building teams in his own vision with trusty lieutenant Peter Taylor. Taking the Leeds job without Taylor by his side, with a changing room full of what in his mind were still Don's boys, would lead to an unheralded examination of Clough's belligerence and brilliance over 44 days. This is that story. The story of The Damned United.

What's the music at the beginning of the trailer?

And, LOL at the Americanisation of the trailer.

[elltell1990]

@blueheart26 I think because he was typecasted in America after being in Underworld, the less wimpy, emo vampire/werewolf crossover. He is known as a chameleon actor because he played Clough, Tony Blair a number of times and David Frost very well.

@jamwithmates123

You want Americans to watch it though..don't you? I know it's not a tie game that ended in a draw...it's not a field it's a pitch, etc, etc...but if you're gonna sell it to Americans you gotta make some concessions.

I loved it. I'm not the biggest fan of the game by a stretch, but I loved the movie.
