Keanu Reeves will once again tackle the sci-fi genre with his latest film, Passengers. Back in January there were rumors that the actor would star in the Gabriele Muccino directed feature and according to THR, it’s been confirmed that he will headline the epic that’s being described as “Adam & Eve in Space.”
Director Gabriele Muccino has landed a new gig, and it’s a sci-fi film starring Keanu Reeves. This will be a nice change of pace for the director whose previous English language films include The Pursuit of Happyness and Seven Pounds. It’s time to take a break from all the melodramatic sap, and tap into the world of science fiction.
Well, we’ve got a lot of action for you this week. From vampires and psychological issues, to good ol’ fahioned hitmen. But! If that doesn’t do it for you, there is also a special edition Star Trek DVD, a number of great TV shows, and our straight to DVD list.
Check them all out below…
Director Rodrigo Garcia’s pyscho-thriller, Passengers, features trauma therapist Dr. Claire Summers (Anne Hathaway), whose latest assignment links her to the five survivors of a plane crash that killed over a hundred people. While the airline insists the accident was a result of the pilot’s mere laziness, the survivors seem to recollect a technical malfunction before the plane’s descent -leaving the airline at fault, and a larger case to crack. The survivors slowly, and mysteriously begin to disappear as pieces of the story unfold, prompting Dr. Summers to conduct her own investigations. She’s particularly intrigued by Eric (Patrick Wilson), whose recount of the accident is exceptionally vague in contrast to those of the other survivors. Professional boundaries are broken when her relationship with Eric escalates from patient to lover, and her desire for answers inspires a relentless journey to unveil the truth.
Vampires are so hot right now (hehe), and this week is no exception. Let the Right One In, Changeling, and Peur(s) du noir all come to theaters this week. Let the Right One In, is one of the most talked about, well received horror-vampire films of the year. I highly recommend it even to the those who are squeamish, it’s a brillantly executed film. Changeling, the new Clint Eastwood film is receiving mixed reviews, but overall has an amazing cast, amazing director, and a gripping story. Peur(s) du noir, or Fear(s) of the Dark, is a creepy film that digs at your deepest fears and was made by six of the worlds best animators. Looks like what would happen if Tim Burton and Guillermo del Toro had an animation child. And there are plenty more to choose from if that’s not your thing!
Here are this weeks movie releases with cast and crew information, reviews, interviews, showtimes and tickets, and trailers! Enjoy!
