Portland / Film Harrison Ford, Brendan Fraser, and Portland: Behold the Extraordinary Measures Trailer!

Posted by Erik Henriksen on Wed, Nov 11, 2009 at 3:35 PM

Remember when Harrison Ford and Brendan Fraser made a movie here and it was the most magical time of our lives? Well, now that movie has a trailer!

HOLY CRAP IT'S CAMERON FROM FERRIS BUELLER! AT PIONEER SQUARE! NOT WEARING A RED WINGS JERSEY! HAN SOLO SHOUTING "I ALREADY WORK AROUND THE CLOCK!!!" AND "NOBODY IS GONNA TELL ME HOW TO RUN MY LAB!!!" AND C'OR BLIMEY, 'TIS OL' LIMEY BRITBOTTOM FROM MAD MEN!!!

In related news, this trailer is fucking awful.

Cue the "Why can't they ever film a good movie in Portland?" whining. Via FilmDrunk.

As uncredited pedestrian #7 in Body Of Evidence, I take offense at your "no good movies are filmed in Portland" line.

His name is Alan Ruck and he is the greatest actor of his generation.

I think the question is why can't they film a good 'mainstream' big budget movie in Portland?

Alan Ruck was hilarious in Spin City as the office pervert. The first film I remember seeing him in was Speed.

My friend who worked on this told me that Harrison Ford is pretty much a terrible asshole.

Sean Young would probably concur.
