Behold the Apocalypse in Lars Von Trier’s ‘Melancholia’ Trailer!
The end of the world is coming, courtesy of Danish director Lars Von Trier.
The official website was launched for Von Trier’s Melancholia that confirms the plot, an unknown planet hidden behind the sun has come out of hiding and is about to hit the Earth.
Starring Kirsten Dunst, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Kiefer Sutherland, Charlotte Rampling, Alexander Skarsgaard, Stellan Skarsgard, Udo Kier, and John Hurt, Magnolia Pictures has already acquired domestic distro rights for the pic described as “A beautiful movie about the end of the world.” With Von Trier, it’s unknown if he’s being ironic, although the footage is nothing short of spectacular.
One criticism: at the end of the footage, it looks more like the planet is passing rather than about to actually hit Earth. Not sure if that’s intentional, but they may want to rework that FX in my opinion….
For those of you at work, beware of boobies.
A creature wreaks havoc upon a community in Hope, from writer-director Na Hong-jin (The Wailing), and the new poster gives a closer look at the snarling beast.
The Korean monster movie will be released in theaters in the United States by NEON on September 9.
Check out the new poster below.
Set in the remote South Korean village of Hope Harbor, police chief Bum-seok and officer Sung-ae are called to find a mysterious creature that has wreaked havoc on the village.
In the nearby forest, a coterie of hunters, including Sung- ki, set out to track the beast and find themselves hunted instead. But all is not as it seems, and perceptions can be misleading.
What begins as ignorance plants the seed of disaster, escalating through human conflict into a tragedy of cosmic proportions.
Hwang Jung-min (The Wailing), Zo In-sung (“Moving”), Hoyeon (“Squid Game”), Taylor Russell (Bones and All), Cameron Britton (“The Umbrella Academy”), Alicia Vikander (Ex Machina), and Michael Fassbender (Prometheus) star in Hope.
Hope had its World Premiere at the Cannes Film Festival back in May. The festival’s director, Thierry Fremaux, previously teased that Hope “constantly changes genres” to capture a story of “no part of history that’s ever been told before.”
