With the winter movie season already proving a disappointment, and the summer season looking positively clogged with unneccesary three-quels, it’s come to my attention that Spring 2007 looks to offer the best selection of films of the year. Along with soon-to-be cult classics like “300,” “Hot Fuzz,” and “Grindhouse” in the books for March and April release dates, the latest flick to join the ever-growing laundry list of promising features is the sci-fi thriller, “Sunshine.”
Directed by Danny Boyle (“Trainspotting,” “28 Days Later”) and starring a great cast including Cillian Murphy, Michelle Yeoh, Chris Evans and Rose Byrne, the film is set 50 years in the future where a team of astronauts are sent into space to reignite the Sun. The first trailer just hit the net a few days ago and I already can’t wait to watch it again. Of course, it always helps to have that killer Clint Massell tune (which was also used in “Requiem for a Dream,” “One Hour Photo” and the trailer for “Lord of the Rings: The Two Towes”) in the background.
Check it out here, and then come back to speak your mind.
