Lost in The Multiplex

Date: Thursday, 05 April 2012

Riding across Manhattan in a stretch limo in order to get a haircut, a 28-year-old billionaire asset manager's day devolves into a odyssey with a cast of characters that start to tear his world apart. 

3D re-releases have come thick and fast over the last few months with the likes of The Lion King and Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace leading the way. With the recent announcement that Jurassic Park will be given the 3D makeover for a 2013 release, classic blockbusters have most certainly found their way back to the big screen. 2012 seems perfect timing, then, for James Cameron to re-release his hugely successful 1997 film Titanic, as it not only coincides with this current fad, but also marks the centennial year of the ship’s ill-fated maiden voyage.

“Twas brillig, and the slithey toves,” an elder intones, aghast. A traveller has arrived, beaten and battered, at a medieval village – a nice clean one, with a friendly Labrador wagging its tail in the main square– claiming to have been pursued by a flying monster. Said monster descends upon the village, causing mayhem, and is quickly identified as the Jabberwock, as featured in a prophecy of old which bears a strong resemblance to Lewis Carroll's famous nonsense poem.

A team of explorers discover a clue to the origins of mankind on Earth, leading them on a journey to the darkest corners of the universe. There, they must fight a terrifying battle to save the future of the human race.

You probably heard that the latest Prometheus trailer was released over the last two weeks, causing a lot of hype for fans of Ridley Scott’s return to the Alien franchise, but that wasn’t the only highly anticipated film to get a new promo video. This week we also look at the latest trailer for Snow White And The Huntsman, a number of first trailers for films including Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 2, Cosmopolis, and House At The End Of The Street, and also a handful of films that have recently made their debuts at a number of film festivals over the past couple of months. You’re sure in for a treat.
