Now, here's an epic trailer for you, the first one for epic thriller RISEN which is out next January, Biblical story of the Resurrection, as told through the eyes of a non-believer. Clavius (Joseph Fiennes), a 
powerful Roman Military Tribune, and his aide Lucius (Tom Felton), are tasked with solving the mystery of what happened to Jesus in the

'PROPHET' ANIMATED TRAILER
WITH SALMA HAYEK, LIAM NEESON AND JOHN KRASINSKI
Another gorgeous trailer today comes from Cannes as the part of the film festival's official selection: KAHLIL GIBRAN'S THE PROPHET in an animated adaptation produced by Salma Hayek! Written and
directed by Roger Allers (The Lion King), the film intersperses Gibran’s elegant poetry within stunning animated sequences. Set in a Mediterranean sea-side village, Kamila (Salma Hayek) cleans house
for exiled artist and poet Mustafa (Liam Neeson), but the more difficult job is keeping her free-spirited young daughter, Almitra, 
(Quvenzhané Wallis) out of trouble. The three embark on a journey meant to end with Mustafa’s return home – but first they must evade the authorities who fear that the truth in his words will incite rebellion.
Featuring music from Damien Rice, Glen Hansard, Lisa Hannigan and Yo-Yo Ma the film also has voices from John Krasinski, Alfred Molina and Frank Langella!

Ave Clavius...waiting for this one!
ReplyDeleteit's a quite a long wait :) But hope we get some posters over the summer
DeleteI'd love to sit back and relax watching the Prophet. It has been a long time since I saw Joseph Fiennes on screen.
ReplyDeletehe had a number of leading roles in new TV series in recent years but all were big flops :)
DeleteThe Prophet sounds interesting - not at all what I expected. I like the look of it too.
ReplyDeleteit's very refreshing visually! I love how Europe refuses to go the Hollywood way :)
DeleteHi Honey, I'm home! Risen is gonna be a trip. Love The Prophet - have read the book over 50 times - a gift from my Mom for high school graduation!!
ReplyDeleteLovely day outside - hope you're prospering and healthy!
they say it has been sold in dozens of millions of copies
DeleteRisen looks good and we do like Joseph Fiennes :)
ReplyDeleteWhen he is not overly psychotic like in CAMELOT
DeleteProphet sounds beautiful. Definitely a different role for Liam.
ReplyDeleteand for Salmonela too!
Delete"The Prophet" looks stunning! I don't know about "Risen" -- looks like it could descend into mawkish religious sentimentality.
ReplyDeletebut it will be interesting seeing it from atheistic point of view
DeleteI'll definitely see the Prophet. Has some great talent in that one!
ReplyDeleteand it looks refreshing
