This upcoming 2013 English film debut by director Park Chan-wook (Oldboy) and produced by Ridley Scott and the late Tony Scott has an interesting story. The script written by Wentworth Miller (Prison Break) was on the 2010 Black List of best unproduced screenplays. Young India's (Mia Wasikowska) father passes away and her mysterious Uncle Charlie (Matthew Goode) moves in with her and mother Evelyn (Nicole Kidman). Sound familiar? Comparisons to Hitchcock's Shadow of a Doubt (one of my favorite Hitchcock films) aside, this looks highly interesting and I can't wait see it. Going on top of my list of must-see films for next year.
The latest international trailer of Life of Pi promises to be a visual treat. Based on the best-selling book by Yann Martel and directed by Ang Lee, the new trailer shows us more of Pi (Suraj Sharma) and Richard Parker the tiger and their ardous journey on the high seas. We also see glimpses of Pi's life in Pondicherry at his family zoo. The trailer opens with the adult Pi (Irrfan Khan), with a curly mop, telling Rafe Spall about his incredible story. Parts of the trailer come very close to how I imagined it when I was reading the story. Eagerly awaiting this in November.
Also coming in 2013, Identity Theft features two big comedic talents in Jason Bateman and Melissa McCarthy. Bateman is Sandy Bigelow Patterson whose identity is stole by McCarthy and decides to go to Florida to get it back and teach her lesson. Little does he know who he's dealing with. The trailer is bit low on laughs but high on gags. Directed by Seth Gordon (Horrible Bosses), the film is due to release this coming February 2013.
So Anna Kendrick can also sing, good to know. Produced by Elizabeth Banks, Pitch Perfect brings the a cappella college scene to life that features a Glee type competition scenario (but without the annoying Mr. Schue). The hilarious Rebel Wilson, Anna Camp and Brittany Snow are also part of the cast. I should resist this film but I always have this absurd urge to watch anything featuring actors singing. Jason Moore who directed the very funny Avenue Q on Broadway makes his directorial debut with this film that opens this October.
