jk Posted November 22, 2003 Posted November 22, 2003 http://disney.go.com/disneypictures/miracle/index.html Stole this from POI. Thanks to them for the heads-up. A movie I really want to see, based on this trailer.
Superman0099 Posted November 22, 2003 Posted November 22, 2003 thank you for sharing this just watching the trailer gives you the chills. I cant wait.
warsey Posted December 2, 2003 Posted December 2, 2003 That's my son, UBC forward Matt Reid, taking the hit about a minute into the trailer. They filmed that take about 25 times with a major collision occurring each take. Warsey
Wilbur Posted December 2, 2003 Posted December 2, 2003 I'll have to agree with Superman, just seeing the trailer kind of brightened my day
Tommiejo Posted December 2, 2003 Posted December 2, 2003 Hey JK this trailer made my day & it was "AWESOME" I really enjoyed it. Thank you. 1. Proud to be a SIOUX fan. 2. SIOUX FAN SINCE 1973
Siouxhockey03 Posted December 3, 2003 Posted December 3, 2003 How many guys did UND have on the team?
Shawn-O Posted December 3, 2003 Posted December 3, 2003 How many guys did UND have on the team? One. Dave Christian. Here's a sort of "where are they now" link from ESPN with a blow by blow for each member of the roster. I don't think the info is very current, but interesting nonetheless. Enjoy: http://espn.go.com/gen/miracle/players.html Minnesota - 8; BU - 5; Bowling Green, Wisconsin, Duluth - 2 each; UND - 1 Wonder how many of those 8 Goofs would have otherwise been back for a Senior year? Kind off makes you appreciate the '79 runner-up team a little more....and the '79 champs, too. A Sioux-Gopher final, 25th anniversary edition, would have some interesting storylines, indeed..in Boston no less....
Greyeagle Posted December 3, 2003 Posted December 3, 2003 Dave Christian is a great guy. Had a chance to meet him (and his dad) at the MN HS tourney the past two years. BTW, you guys will like this. I once read a Christian quote about Herb Brooks. He said "Herb & I have been involved in two of the biggest upsets in hockey history, the '80 Olympic team and the '79 national championship game." I always liked those games!
CoteauRinkRat Posted December 3, 2003 Posted December 3, 2003 Looks like it could be a respectable hockey moviel.
The Commodore Posted December 4, 2003 Posted December 4, 2003 The film looks good, but I don't know if Kurt Russell could have laid the Minnesota accent on much thicker. "Wee can BEET deez gys!" I half-expected to see a shot of a CCCP skater and then a cut to Russell as he says "Uffda."
CoteauRinkRat Posted December 4, 2003 Posted December 4, 2003 I was waiting for Dave Christian or someone to chime in "Yah, sure, ya betcha"
WPoS Posted December 5, 2003 Posted December 5, 2003 I was waiting for Dave Christian or someone to chime in "Yah, sure, ya betcha" maybe the beet pickers "up nort" talk that way, but not everyone in the state of MN is a hick... WPoS
jk Posted January 12, 2004 Author Posted January 12, 2004 Dan Brooks saw a screening of the movie. This is from the Pioneer Press: ------------------------------ "The movie is awesome. People were cheering in the theater. Kurt Russell is the movie; he is absolutely phenomenal. His portrayal of my dad is uncanny; he portrays my dad as a little softer and gentler than he really was. But he looks like him, has his mannerisms and all his sayings. He must have really researched him and watched a lot of tape. I know he spent a lot of time talking to my dad. It was very emotional watching." Herb Brooks died at age 66 last August in a one-car accident just north of the Twin Cities. Danny Brooks said he got chills watching the film. "People who knew my dad are going to eat this up," he said. "There will be absolute puddles from watching this movie."
airmail Posted January 12, 2004 Posted January 12, 2004 Awesome trailer... but PG? It's gotta be at least PG-13 to be a real hockey movie!
YaneA Posted January 13, 2004 Posted January 13, 2004 Uh oh, even the trailer has me crying! I heard it opens on Feb.6, Sioux-Badger weekend. If you want to find out more about the movie, try imdb.com Choose title in the search menu and type in "Miracle." The Internet Movie Database also has a message board with movie/hockey fans debating everything including the flukey goal that allowed Team USA to win the World Juniors. Spread the wealth: go on over to that message board and enlighten some clueless people there about hockey. P.S. Invite the Canadians to come to Grand Forks later this year and take back the gold, if they can.
CoteauRinkRat Posted January 13, 2004 Posted January 13, 2004 Since its PG, it will definitely be a feel good, tear jerker, get the men and WOMEN and children, in the seats, kind of a movie.
cfm567b27 Posted January 13, 2004 Posted January 13, 2004 maybe the beet pickers "up nort" talk that way, but not everyone in the state of MN is a hick... WPoS Reminds me of this jacka$$ Gopher fan I sat in front of at last year's Final Five.....He spied my Sioux Hockey cap and made a crack incinuating that I had must have just driven straight down from "up nort' after I hopped of my combine. Of course I made light of the fact that I was from Boston and if he wanted to keep what amounted to a half set of yellow cigarette stained chicklets he best keep his cracks to himself.
radionews Posted January 14, 2004 Posted January 14, 2004 Not sure if it will make the final cut but the producers contacted the City of Thief River Falls, MN to get permission to use the name "Thief River FAlls Regional AIrport" the scene was about the team flying in then taking a bus the rest of the way to play the Lakers in Warroad. According to the script they were delayed in leaving because a moose was on the runway. not sure how true that is but it could have happened. I agree the trailer looks cool, the web site was updated and has some downloads available.
CoteauRinkRat Posted January 14, 2004 Posted January 14, 2004 It does look like it has the potential to be entertaining.
UMDDogz Posted January 15, 2004 Posted January 15, 2004 I had only heard rumors about this movie before seeing the trailer. Looks like it should be a good film. Hopefully the stereotyped MN accent doesn't take away from what looks to be a very powerful film.
WPoS Posted January 15, 2004 Posted January 15, 2004 and/or the Boston accent from the Boston boys... WPoS
SiouxFanInBoston Posted January 15, 2004 Posted January 15, 2004 I don't think the Boston accent would be a stereotype.
