The movie trailer (preview) for Belly is already out!
According to Greg from New York, a short trailer showed during
the previews before the movie Blade. He describes the trailer as
being really short, but has lots of scenes in it. The movie has lots of
neon lights in it, and the best scene is near the end, with a shot of
Times Square with dollar bills flying through the air. Hopefully the
preview is showing throughout the U.S. and more people are getting
"hyped" for it!
(Thanks, Greg, for the information)
