TF:
Saskia Rosendahl stars in this poignant Cate Shortland film
Independent Cinema writes - As a society, we have a hard time letting go of preconceived notions. The idea of someone being something more or less than what we were told ends up bewildering more so than enlightening, with World War II arguably being the best example. There’s no need to delve into the politics of it all, as anyone who has lived long enough already has in their mind that Nazis were bad and the Jewish population was unfairly persecuted. The trick now is being able to step away from a generalization and look at each person individually, deciding for yourself who is bad and who is good. Lore is a story of just that: breaking away from previously held convictions, and trying to find yourself in a world that has so radically changed. Cate Shortland has wonderfully adapted Rachel Seiffert’s novel, The Dark Room, and presented a breakthrough performance from newcomer Saskia Rosendahl, a talented actress that will surely be going places.
From Deadline:
Barry Sonnenfeld is in talks to direct Dwayne Johnson in Lore, a film based on an Ashley Wood IDW graphic novel about a secret order that defends the world against creatures thought to be mythological, but which actually exist.
THR:
The screenplay from writers Cory Goodman and Jeremy Lott is based on the book/graphic novel written by Ashley Wood and T.P. Lousie.
Warner Bros. is in the process of picking up the adapted screenplay Lore, from writers Cory Goodman and Jeremy Lott. Dwayne Johnson is attached to star in the sci-fi actioner, which has has been described as "Men in Black with mythological creatures."
Never thought I'd see Lore review on filmwatch. This was a fantastic film. I wish one of these reviewers would pronounce the title correctly. It's the girls name pronounced like the English Laura but with a short "e" at the end instead of the short "a" as in the word "bed"
