Comingsoon: Fox Searchlight Pictures has released the trailer for their upcoming sci-fi drama Another Earth through iTunes Movie Trailers.
Directed by Mike Cahill and written by Cahill and Brit Marling, the film stars William Mapother, Brit Marling, Jordan Baker, Robin Lord Taylor and Flint Beverage. The film was produced by Hunter Gray of Artists Public Domain, Mike Cahill, Brit Marling and Nicholas Shumaker.
Another Earth is a tremendous movie; another hidden gem of 2011. The movie is very slow, painfully at times, and doesn’t have as much as a science fiction twist as advertised. However, it is a testament of feelings and a look into one’s tormented soul (not in the horror story context either). The Blu-ray has its ups and downs with an average video presentation and a strong enough showing in the audio department. This is a recommended viewing, and a suggested purchase.
FMV says: "Another Earth feels like two separate films which never quite connect with one another. One is a Sci-Fi epic of self-discovery with profound philosophical implications for humanity, the other a worthy but contained Sundance-type Indie about love, loss and redemption in small-town America. Sort of Contact meets Winter’s Bone – or rather, doesn’t quite meet."
"Its ideas will inspire debate, emotionally it will move you, just expect it do these things in moderation however. That said, if the technical hitches can be overcome by the time we witness Cahill and (hopefully) Marling’s next production then there may be a masterpiece waiting in the wings."
By that logic, you can say anyone's next production may be a masterpiece.
And I also said that *may* be pushing it. Note the conditional tense.
No, you are now verging outside of the context of this review. In context of this review, the phrase used is justified given the work by the talent involved.
Obviously the next film of Freidberg/Seltzer won't be a masterpeice, once again I stress the use of context.
Concepts like this annoy me in their impossibility.
I think this one looks great. Like a breath of fresh air for scifi. Very curious to see how this all plays together.
So....Awesome!!
looks very interesting, not hard sci fi but the kind that deals with how some new discovery or invention affects what it means to be human, some of the best sci fi fall into that category.
can't wait to see this.
Breathtakingly amazing, what's up with hollywood.. man what are they planning this year.. :))))
