trailer watch: once / across the universe

once
[who knew that frames lead singer glen hansard could be such a romantic lead? a crowd favorite at sundance and now slowly making it's way across european screens (before hitting US ones mid may), once is about two lonely souls (one a street busker, the other a czech pianist) who find each other through music. as corny as it sounds there is nothing like watching a truly romantic movie every now and then. this should be the little romance that could.]


across the universe
[coming in september, is this 2007's moulin rouge? i really hope so! directed by the amazing julie taymor and starring jim sturgess and evan rachel wood, the cuties play star crossed lovers during the turbulent 70's. totally reminds me of hair, but that's a good thing!]

trailer watch: alone, daywatch, 28 weeks later

alone (aka fadd) trailer (thailand)
[currently the #1 movie in thailand, alone is directed by Banjong Pisanthanakun and
Parkpoom Wongpoom, the duo that brought you the cult horror film shutter a few years back. this time, a young newlywed returns back to her childhood home to care for her dying mother. but as she stays in her old home, she comes to realize a hidden memory wants to become more than just an afterthought. too bad the trailer gives everything away.]


daywatch trailer (russia)
[part two of director Timur Bekmambetov's adaptation of Sergei Lukyanenko's sci-fi trilogy (daywatch, nightwatch, duskwatch). it looks like this time the budgets have gone up and the fighting sequences are cooler. already a hit back home, the film is getting a summer release here in the states.]


28 weeks later (uk)
[the zombies are back! with the timeline just 28 weeks after the 1st film, the story focuses around the military bringing a handful of citizens to try to re-inhabit their cities. the problem is, they didn't quarantine everyone from the deadly virus. can't wait to see this!]
