I read something about this in a magazine a few weeks ago, and I've been interested ever since. And after that trailer, I'm definitely gonna be seeing it. Looks really promising.

I don't know what to make of the trailer. Could be interested if I knew what it was about. Bits and pieces were given, yes.

Could turn out a good thing though.

I should've expected someone would post that.

At least the movie isn't about someone wanting to get their kids back, eh?

The trailer made me think of V for Vendetta. I hated V for Vendetta. I don't know what else to make of it right now.

Eva Green. Yum.

Film looks ok to me, but I'm hoping that film trailers, such as this, STOP using Clint Mansell's songs from The Fountain.

I hadn't heard of this movie at all until it was mentioned in an "upcoming movies to watch for" article on Empire. Looks very interesting indeed, really. British sci-fi? Eva Green? Why not, really? I'll follow with interest.

By the way, is anyone else saddened by the fact that it seems that the long-lasting affect of the amazing and underrated The Fountain on Hollywood seems to be having its mind-blowing amazing Clint Mansell soundtrack completely over-used in movie trailers?
