Here’s the synopsis: ‘An ex-CIA operative is brought back in on a very personal mission and finds himself pitted against his former pupil in a deadly game involving high level CIA officials and the Russian president-elect.’

To The Wonder Trailer – Ben Affleck gets passionate in Terrence Malick’s film

December 20, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


Terrence Malick’s Tree Of Life certainly divided audiences and it appears that To The Wonder is destined to do the same. It’s received decidedly mixed reviews at the Toronto and Venice film festivals, but we’ll be able to see for ourselves when the film reaches UK cinemas on February 22nd.

Now a trailer has arrived, giving us our best look at the movie yet. It’s filled with swooping low-angle camera shots, Ben Affleck looking emotional and everything being incredibly pretty yet hard to decode. It’s not going to be an easy one, as Affleck has joked that it “makes Tree of Life look like Transformers.” As with Sean Penn in Tree, it’s also been said Affleck’s role has been dramatically reduced in the actual movie compared to what he filmed.

Affleck plays Neil, who falls for Marina (Olga Kurylenko) when they meet in France. The couple return to Neil’s Oklahoma hometown, but as their passion cools, Neil is drawn to his childhood sweetheart, Jane (Rachel McAdams). While the plot is fairly simple, the execution is said to be far more complex and philosophical.to-the-wonder-pic1

Detailed Plot Synopsis For Terrence Malick’s To The Wonder Released

September 3, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Terrence Malick’s new movie, To The Wonder, premiered at the Venice Film Festival over the weekend to mixed reviews, ranging from the underwhelmed to those who feel the director has outdone The Tree Of Life. However in typical Malick style, the plot of the movie has been a bit mysterious, but now a full synopsis has been released for the movie, which stars Ben Affleck, Rachel McAdams, Olga Kurylenko and Javier Bardem (with others like Jessica Chastain having been cut out of the film).

Here’s the synopsis: ‘TO THE WONDER, written and directed by Terrence Malick, is a romantic drama centered on Neil, a man who is torn between two loves: Marina, the European woman who came to United States to be with him, and Jane, the old flame he reconnects with from his hometown. In TO THE WONDER, Malick explores how love and its many phases and seasons – passion, sympathy, obligation, sorrow, indecision – can transform, destroy, and reinvent lives.

‘As TO THE WONDER opens, Neil and Marina are together on the French island of Mont St. Michel – known in France as The Wonder of the Western World (Merveille de l’Occident) – and invigorated by feelings of being newly in love. Neil, an aspiring writer, has left the United States in search of a better life, leaving behind a string of unhappy affairs. Looking into Marina’s eyes as the Abbey looms in the distance, Neil is certain he has finally found the one woman he can love with commitment. He makes a vow to be true to this woman alone.

‘Marina, quiet and beautiful, with flashes of a mischievous humor, is divorced and the mother of a 10-year-old daughter, Tatiana. At 16, Marina left the Ukraine for Paris without a cent to her name. There, she married a Frenchman who abandoned her after just two years, leaving her alone with Tatiana in a studio apartment. Marina was forced to work a variety of temporary jobs to make her way. Having nearly given up hope, Marina is overcome with joy to be in love with Neil, her salvation from an unhappy future.

‘Two years later, Neil and Marina are living in a small town in Oklahoma, close to where Neil grew up. Neil, having given up his hopes of becoming a writer, has taken a job as an environmental inspector. Neil is happy with his work, but his love for Marina cools as she, for her part, is frustrated by the holding pattern she feels she is in with Neil. She fears her youth – and happiness – are slipping away. In spite of her anxieties about Neil, Marina initially feels at home in Oklahoma, embraced by the open space and sky, and soothed by the sounds that come from the wind harp that animates breezes into songs.

‘Seeking advice, Marina turns to another exile in the community, a Catholic priest named Quintana. We learn that Father Quintana has come to grapple with his own dilemmas, as he harbors doubts about his vocation. He no longer feels the ardor he knew in the first days of his faith, and wonders if he ever will again.

‘Professional life throws Neil into conflict as well, when he discovers that a smelting operation in town is polluting the soil and water and threatening the health of future generations. His concerns fail to persuade his neighbors, who depend on the smelter for their livelihoods. Under pressure to keep quiet, Neil must once again weigh the consequences of his actions.

‘Neil’s doubts about Marina intensify. This, coupled with the fact that Marina’s visa is soon to expire, leads her to return to France with her daughter. In her absence, Neil reconnects with Jane, an old friend. As the two of them fall deeply in love, Neil finds this new relationship far less complicated. Yet when word comes to him that Marina has fallen on hard times and her daughter has gone to live with her father and refuses to have anything more to do with her, he finds himself gripped by a sense of responsibility for her wellbeing, and arranges for her return to the United States.

‘Neil’s entanglements with the two women in his life, and Father Quintana’s struggle with his faith, force them both to consider different kinds of love. Should the commitment they each made be undertaken as a duty, sometimes full of effort? Or should we accept that love often changes, and doesn’t always last? Can sorrow bind lovers more tightly than joy?’

No UK release date is currently set, although the film has found distribution around the world, so hopefully a date will be set soon.

Morgan Freeman On For Joseph Kosinski’s Horizons

February 10, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

It’s taken quite a while, but Joseph Kosinski is now pulling together the cast for his upcoming film Horizons (formerly known as Oblivion), with the latest to sign on, according to Deadline, being Morgan Freeman.

Horizons follows Tom Cruise’s central character, one of the last people on an uninhabitable Earth who repairs space ships and keeps an eye out for alien attacks. The man goes on a journey of discovery when a mysterious woman crash lands on the planet. Morgasn will apparently play Malcolm Beech, the leader of the human resistance on Earth.

Olga Kurylenko and Andrea Riseborough have been cast as the two female leads. It isn’t known when production will start on Horizons, but it’s believed to be relatively soon.

Kurylenko & Riseborough Join Joseph Kosinski Sci-Fi Movie

January 20, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

A couple of months ago it appeared Jessica Chastain was set to star opposite Tom Cruise in Joseph Kosinki’s upcoming sci-fi flick, which was previously titled Oblivion (and for a brief time Horizons). Now she’s out and Variety reports that Olga Kurylenko and Andrea Riseborough are in.

The film follows a futuristic soldier called Jack, who’s one of the few people stationed on Earth after surface of the planet was destroyed by aliens. When he discovers a mysterious woman in a crash-landed pod, it sets off a chain of events that cause him to question everything he knows.

It’s been previously reported that the two main female roles are Jack’s right-hand-man, Victoria, who acts as his eyes and ears on his repair mission, and Julia, who was his fiancee before the alien invasion. It isn’t clear which of those roles the actresses have signed up for.

Jessica Chastain had to pass on the role to pursue Kathryn Bigelow’s untitled Osama bin Laden. It isn’t certainly when the film will shoot.
