Magnolia has released the first trailer for Main Street, a drama about "the residents of a small Southern city are changed forever by the arrival of a stranger with a controversial plan to save their decaying hometown."  It's worth a watch for Colin Firth and Orlando Bloom trying on Southern accents.  There's something about the transition from proper English to Southern drawl that sounds unnatural, especially when Bloom is acting opposite Margo Martindale, who owns the homespun phrasing.

I honestly couldn't get past it, but you can give it a shot after the break.  Ellen Burstyn, Patricia Clarkson, Amber Tamblyn also star.  Main Street premieres on VOD August 5, followed by theatrical release September 9.
