"The Taliban Shuffle"
Another interesting tidbit--there are rumors all over the place that Martin is in talks to join Tina Fey in "The Taliban Shuffle." No, I didn't know what it was about, but all the articles--and there are dozens, I gave up after the first three--give a quickie summary.

Re: "The Taliban Shuffle"
He's suppose to play a Scottish war photographer and her love interest.
Martin as a love interest.
Martin with a Scottish accent.

Re: "The Taliban Shuffle"
So, we get a Fargo reunion or an Emmy 2014 reunion?
I thought that this film would be only a "small" comedy, but seeing what caliber actors get on board, the script might be quite good (i am not a big fan of american comedy kind of humour, so i had no big hopes it will be a good film).

Re: "The Taliban Shuffle"
I'll see this movie for one thing.
Martin as a love interest.
I don't care if he only has 2 scenes, I'll watch it.

Re: "The Taliban Shuffle"
I'm really lookinf forward to seeing him work with Tina Fey. That should be a lot of fun and I think they'll have great chemistry.

Re: "The Taliban Shuffle"
This looks interesting. Martin with a Scottish accent sounds interesting, too.

Re: "The Taliban Shuffle"
So jealous of Tina Fey right now. I hope there are love scenes.

Re: "The Taliban Shuffle"
I don't like love scenes...
But better with Martin than with Benedict!

Why do you say better with Martin?

Re: "The Taliban Shuffle"
I was just about to post the link, but it looks like you beat me to it, tonnaree!
I'm sort of curious about this. I wasn't expecting this to look like a comedy, but then again I haven't read the original book. I guess I assumed, even if Tina Fey is in it, that it would be a serious movie. I wonder what the reviews will be like.

Re: "The Taliban Shuffle"
Can someone correct the title of this thread?
Trailer #2 just out!
One tiny bit of Martin with a Scottish accent and I'm melting.

Re: "The Taliban Shuffle"
You're a mod, but you can't?
Anyway, great to see a new trailer! Not much Martin, but hey we got to hear him say something at least. The movie looks like an interesting combination of funny and serious, hopefully it's good.
