i hadn't heard of this until today, but it looks really good (good enough for Favid Fincher and Spike Jonze to get it re-released)

Quote :

"This is the trailer for The Fall, directed by Tarsem Singh and “presented” by Spike Jonze and David Fincher. In a hospital a little girl with a broken collar bone meets a bedridden man who starts telling her a fantastical story which reflects his state of mind. As time goes by fiction and reality start to intertwine in this uplifting epic fantasy. [IMDB] Watching the main guy in it start telling the little girl a story, at first I figured it would be just another children’s fantasy flick where talking unicorns fight with evil centaurs and shit. But as it went along I started noticing that the cinematography was super badass (as the scientists like to say). But then I was worried Brendan Fraser would still show up at the end to give it the kiss of death, but he never did. Instead it got Spike Jonze and David Fincher’s names on it, and a quote from Roger Ebert. Ebert quotes are a lot more persuasive now that the alternative is Harry from AICN (examples here, here and here). But I dunno, from what I’ve seen so far, I’d bone this movie. It’ll be in limited release in March."

Quote :

"Remember "the Cell"? It was a movie like 8 years ago, it starred JLo for the last few seconds when she was even remotely tolerable. It didn’t do very well and was mostly known for its incredible visuals and the amazing work down by first time feature director Tarsem Singh. Well he's finally done a second movie, although actually he made it two years ago but no one knew what to make of it so it sort of disappeared. The cast was largely unknowns, but the lead (Lee Pace) has gone on to star in the ABC show Pushing Daisies. The point to all this is that David Fincher and Spike Jonze loved it and felt it needed to be seen, so it will be re-released in April on a larger scale. The movie may still be an incoherent mess, but this trailer is the most beautiful thing you'll see all day. Unless you’re my mirror. Lucky dog."

And then I read that second bit.

I watched the trailer earlier today and I must say that this movie looks to be great.

2/25/2008 10:00:57 PM

sure the guy puts visuals above all else in the movie but he came up from doing music videos so what did you expect?

[Edited on May 27, 2008 at 7:07 PM. Reason : the cell was excellent if you ask me (jlo was only mildly bad too)]

it will probably take a second viewing

6/7/2008 3:55:32 AM

I liked it. The story was decent enough so the visuals weren't COMPLETELY holding it up.

6/7/2008 9:17:19 AM
