Arriving in Tokyo, with Deb and Ava -- I wonder if they are also going to Australia for a visit?

He's such a natural with kids -- too bad The Front Runner is rated "R"

Is it just me -- but I keep hearing Hugh/Barnum in WHISPER-MODE ( just like " This is the moment you've been waiting for...") ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) But maybe that's because the Japanese translation voiceover is deliberately much stronger for home audiences ?

The Front Runner opens in Australia on February 1st.
Maybe the trip to Japan is just a stopover on their way back to their homeland...and to a promotional media appearance in Sydney for Hugh?

Judging by the amount of luggage I noticed coming through the airport I'd say that's likely! The Front Runner opens in Australia on February 1st. Maybe the trip to Japan is just a stopover on their way back to their homeland...and to a promotional media appearance in Sydney for Hugh?

Not just you--I had to turn the volume way up! Is it just me -- but I keep hearing Hugh/Barnum in WHISPER-MODE ( just like " This is the moment you've been waiting for...") ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) But maybe that's because the Japanese translation voiceover is deliberately much stronger for home audiences ?

It looks like it was a big media reception at the press conference.
I had initially wondered why THE FRONT RUNNER is being heavily promoted or even released in Japan because of its poor box office showing in the USA (Only $ 2 million in its domestic run). Then I realized that the film distributor is SONY PICTURES ( SONY being one of Japan's largest multinational companies). And Hugh is also quite a popular film star there.
