Five Sci-Fi Films You Can Still Look Forward To In 2013
4. ABOUT TIME
Not many people can do romantic comedies as well as writer-director Richard Curtis, whose previous films include Notting Hill, The Boat That Rocked, & Love Actually. It looks like he’ll add one more to his winning streak with About Time, a film about a young man who is told that all the other men in his family have the ability to travel in time. The trailer was charming, funny, sweet & teased at some endearing performances by Rachel McAdams & Domhnall Gleeson. Tom Hollander, Margot Robbie, Lydia Wilson, and Vanessa Kirby also star. About Time opens in the UK on September 6th and November 1st in the North America.
5. SNOWPIERCER
Bong Joon-ho’s (Mother, The Host) upcoming post-apocalyptic thriller Snowpiercer is set in a future where, “after a failed experiment to stop global warming, an Ice Age kills off all life on the planet except for the inhabitants of the Snow Piercer, a train that travels around the globe and is powered by a sacred perpetual-motion engine. A class system evolves on the train but a revolution brews.”
Reviews of the film have slowly been trickling in and they’ve been extremely strong so far. Variety critic Scott Foundas remarked that the film is “an enormously ambitious, visually stunning and richly satisfying futuristic epic.” The film is expected to hit theaters later this year.
