I caught the trailer for Across the Universe on tv tonight during Colbert Report and it looks awesome. As the comments on Slashfilm read, I also have been impressed with the musicals of the past few years. Loved Moulin Rouge and this one looks even better. I'm a huge fan of the Beatles and these renditions are excellent. I hate it when Beatles songs are ruined. I love the "Sadie" rendition of "Oh, Darlin;". Gotta be Sexy Sadie. I've noticed that the characters are named after characters from Beatles tunes (Prudence, Jude, etc.)

It looks like it has a strong plot too. The effects look pretty damn cool. I'm digging the quick shot of Uncle Sam. This one is a must see for me.
