New trailer for The Monuments Men

published 10 October 2013

It's almost Oscar season, which means that the heavy hitters are queuing round the block. Next up: The Monuments Men.

Returned from floating around in space, George Clooney directs and takes lead in a band of art historians and museum curators with an unlikely mission - to save renowned works of art stolen by Nazis before they are lost. Think of it as a highbrow Indiana Jones via Ocean's Eleven.

With a cast including Matt Damon, Cate Blanchett, Bill Murray, John Goodman, Jean Dujardin, Hugh Bonneville and Bob Balaban, The Monuments Men is trying its utmost to be a serious award contender. It's got war scenes and Clooney Charm - how can it fail?

The Monuments Men arrives in cinemas 9 January 2014

As Content Director of Shortlist, Marc likes nothing more than to compile endless lists of an evening by candlelight. He started out life as a movie writer for numerous (now defunct) magazines and soon found himself online - editing a gaggle of gadget sites, including TechRadar, Digital Camera World and Tom's Guide UK. At Shortlist you'll find him mostly writing about movies and tech, so no change there then.
