New Trailer: 'A Glimpse Inside The Mind of Charles Swan III'

Posted byBy Kim Burnell | Published on: | Updated on June 29, 2013 CommentsComments (0)

Deadline.com released just the latest trailer for A Glimpse Inside The Mind of Charles Swan III, starring Charlie Sheen, Jason Schwartzman, Bill Murray, Patricia Arquette, and Aubrey Plaza.

It’s clear from the trailer this movie was crafted by the man on tiger’s blood himself, Charlie Sheen. A Glimpse Inside The Mind of Charles Swan III follows wildly successful graphic designer and womanizer, Charles Swan (Sheen), as he tries to mend his broken heart after his latest squeeze, Ivana (Katheryn Winnick), storms out. In addition to your standard “girl-leaves-guy, guy-wants-girl-back” love story, Sheen takes viewers on a ridiculous adventure blurring the line between reality and imagination.

Overall, it seems like a pretty typical indie movie, especially for the likes of Bill Murray and Jason Schwartzman, who are known for their off the beaten path indie flicks like The Darjeeling Limited, Life Aquatic, and most recently, Moonrise Kingdom. In watching what was supposed to be an original idea, the trailer seemed like something I’ve seen before and despite the surreal scenarios and quirky characters, I wasn’t left feeling compelled to see it in theaters.

Perhaps my apprehension in liking A Glimpse Inside The Mind of Charles Swan III stems from Charlie Sheen. I’ve steered clear of anything he puts his name on since his Two and a Half Men rampage in 2011. Aside from the Sheen factor, the rest of the cast has proven their comedic talent and leads me to consider that maybe there’s more to the film than the addled mind of a self-proclaimed warlock. Hopefully there is a lot more to A Glimpse Inside The Mind of Charles Swan III than the trailer lets on, or fans might be sorely disappointed…and slightly bored.

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
