Hey folks, Harry here... AICN is an international website, although - most of the main contributors are US Based - and often times that's where the films we focus on come from... This film, FRANKLYN, screened at the London Film Festival - and it has picked up UK Distribution and a few European dates... Opening on February 20th in the UK, but as of now - there's no plans for US distribution. IGN nabbed the trailer, which frankly numbs the mind. The film looks immensely satisfying - and the reviews on IMDB look quite strong. I haven't heard of the director, a Gerald McMorrow... but after that trailer, he has my attention. The cast has Eva Green (pant pant), Ryan Phillippe, Art Malik, Bernard Hill and Susannah York! In fact - if you go through the tech listings on this film, you'll find a lot of early talents taking big leaps here. One of the Art Directors has the same position on PRINCE OF PERSIA and the history involves all sorts of key work. It has the DP from STARDUST and LAYER CAKE and the upcoming KICK-ASS. And the Special Effects Supervisor has worked on everything from A BRIDGE TOO FAR to INDIANA JONES AND THE TEMPLE OF DOOM to WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT to A MUPPET CHRISTMAS CAROL to DOOMSDAY and ROCKNROLLA. In other words, there's a lot of strong British talent behind this - and I'm curious as hell to see this film. From cast to crew to the following trailer - this looks like one to watch!
