Replacement for The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen
I never watched The Cell all the way though but I have seen bits and pieces. The movie had amazing cinematography. I can't quite recall the story (which must mean that it wasn't anything worthwhile) but the images still remain imprinted in my memory. So the same director, Tarsem Singh, has decided to make another movie called The Fall. This movie, from the little bits and pieces that I've seen so far, seems to be a great improvement on Stephen Norrington's League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. That movie kind of flopped. I remember watching it and having great expatiations for it but it just didn't seem to amount to anything. It was without any real imagination and did not allude to any of the epic stories that the comic book by Allen Moore was based on. Overall it was a disappointment.
And here comes a replacement. The Fall, without knowing much about it, already seems to be a lot better. The cinematography will be amazing, I can see what the director appreciates and has an eye for settings, just from what he produced in the bits of The Cell that I was able to watch. I'm a sucker for pretty pictures so I have a bit of a biased view. I will probably like the film even if it has a shitty plot as long as the images are nice to look at. Isn't that what film as a media is all about anyway? I mean, if it was story-based then it would be good as a book. If something is a good film then its good to watch and look at while it tells a good story.
Check out the trailer I saw from io9 below. Sure its not much but doesn't it get you excited nonetheless? Not to mention that is presented by DAVID FINCHER and SPIKE JONZE!
