A Film I Will See

[mishalak]

There were five of them: the Indian, the ex-slave, the explosive expert, the masked bandit, and ... Charles Darwin! These are the heroes have united to fight Governor Odious in a story told in style a classic Kippling British Colonial Archetypes Adventure that is the tale within another tale about two patients in a hospital. All set to Beethoven's Syn No. 7. With Lee Pace, the lead from Pushing Daisies, also playing the lead of the bandit/male patient telling the story.

Tarsem the director of this work filmed the disjointed mess The Cell and was buried due to its critical and (more importantly) commercial failure. To make his new movie he is reported to have used his own money and piggybacked on commercial productions in 24 countries! The trailer (embedded bellow from YouTube or in even more glorious high definition on the film's website) looks like this movie will also be a mess. But it looks like exactly the sort of mess that I like seeing. But I am unable to figure out where the limited release will be. No word on the official website and I think that should be one of the primary things on a website about a movie. "When/where can I see it?"

I mean how could I not want to see a story where Charles Darwin is one of the good guys? (Please don't take that as a challenge Hollywood.) More in an LA Times Article last June.

How could anyone not want to fight villainy alongside Charles Darwin?
