Best tagline ever?

Below, the trailer for "Anonymous" - Roland Emmerich's first non-action-blockbuster movie since... well, ever. It's a (mostly) period mystery, based on some of the (many) conspiracy theories claiming that Shakespeare didn't actually author the works attributed to him. So... "The DaVinci Code" for English Lit professors. Looks pretty good - and I'm fascinated by the idea of Emmerich (who has a much stranger, devious sense of things than usually makes it into his movies) doing something so different - but what's making me post it here today is the trailer's final tagline, which is a thing of terrible beauty. Take a look...




"We've All Been Played."

Fucking. Brilliant.
