Coming out this Friday in limited release is MARTHA MARCY MAY MARLENE, and a new TV spot has just hit.
Take it from me (review here), if this is playing near you – go seek it out. I thought it was a fantastic film, with unbelievable performances from John Hawkes and newcomer Elizabeth Olsen.
We also have another TV spot, this one for Tarsem Singh’s latest IMMORTALS. That will see a release on November 11th, mark it down.
It looks like good fun, although I am pretty curious to see Henry Cavill, being that he is the new man of steel and all.
Scope out the synopsis and videos below.
MARTHA MARCY MAY MARLENE – Haunted by painful memories and increasing paranoia, a damaged woman (Olsen) struggles to re-assimilate with her family after fleeing an abusive cult.
IMMORTALS – Eons after the Gods won their mythic struggle against the Titans, a new evil threatens the land. Mad with power, King Hyperion (Mickey Rourke) has declared war against humanity. Amassing a bloodthirsty army of soldiers disfigured by his own hand, Hyperion has scorched Greece in search of the legendary Epirus Bow, a weapon of unimaginable power forged in the heavens by Ares. Only he who possesses this bow can unleash the Titans, who have been imprisoned deep within the walls of Mount Tartaros since the dawn of time and thirst for revenge.
In the king’s hands, the bow would rain destruction upon mankind and annihilate the Gods. But ancient law dictates the Gods must not intervene in man’s conflict. They remain powerless to stop Hyperion…until a peasant named Theseus (Henry Cavill) comes forth as their only hope. Secretly chosen by Zeus, Theseus must save his people from Hyperion and his hordes. Rallying a band of fellow outsiders-including visionary priestess Phaedra (Freida Pinto) and cunning slave Stavros (Stephen Dorff)-one hero will lead the uprising, or watch his homeland fall into ruin and his Gods vanish into legend.
