!!! A film that isn't based on a novel! Or is a remake, a sequel or a biopic!? Someone must have been drunk when they greenlighted this:

YouTube - Franklyn trailer

Anyway, it looks sex and even though it has some borderline big actors in it no-one has heard of it. I'm just trying to spread the love.

Indeed, it looks interesting. I don't get too much of it, but I might just want to see it anyways.

It's just an expression. Sex = good, obviously. Brief synopsis:

The story of four lost souls in a futuristic London society where there is no separation between Church and State.

Split between the parallel realities of contemporary London and the futuristic metropolis of Meanwhile City, Franklyn follows the tales of four characters. Jonathan Preest (Ryan Phillippe (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ryan_Phillippe)) is a masked vigilante who won't rest until he finds his nemesis, Meanwhile City’s dangerous leader. Emilia (Eva Green (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eva_Green)) is a troubled young art student whose rebellion may turn out to be deadly. Milo (Sam Riley (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Riley)) is a heartbroken twentysomething yearning for the purity of first love. Peter (Bernard Hill (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernard_Hill)) is a man steeped in religion, searching desperately for his missing son amongst London's homeless

That picture looks like Kate Bush, I'm sure she's done that in one of her videos.

I really like the look of it, I might have to see this. It reminds me of V for Vendetta and a book I read like 50 years ago, but different. These are my favourite kind of films ^_^


Ooohh, now I have to convince someone to go with me ;; Why am I the only person I know who doesn't only like chickflicks and period dramas?
