Elsa and Clive, two young rebellious scientists, defy legal and ethical boundaries and forge ahead with a dangerous experiment: splicing together human and animal DNA to create a new organism. Named “Dren”, the creature rapidly develops from a deformed female infant into a beautiful but dangerous winged human-chimera, who forges a bond with both of her creators – only to have that bond turn deadly.
It appears that Cate Blanchett has been cast opposite Russell Crowe in the new Robin Hood film Nottingham.
Two crewmen awaken from hyper-sleep aboard a spacecraft. None of their equipment is working, and their memories are incomplete. What was their mission? How much time has passed? Where are they? As they try to piece things together, they discover they are not alone, and the ship’s new inhabitants – tribal warriors carrying crudely made weapons – are moving among them, intent on killing all aboard. As the space travelers unravel the frightening and deadly secrets the ship harbors, they realize the survival of mankind hinges on their actions. They must regain control of the ship before Pandorum takes over.
From FirstShowing.Net:
The Book of Eli is a post-apocalyptic western, in which a lone man fights (with a samurai sword) his way across America in order to protect a sacred book that holds the secrets to saving humankind. That’s really all we know so far, but this is definitely looking like it could be pretty badass in the end.
In the early scene above, Eli finally gets some company when he steps into a bar. “They peddle some nasty, prison-type alcohol – whatever you can make in the future when there’s nothing left,” says Allen Hughes. I wish we knew more about what was going on, or even more about the story, but unfortunately all that we’ve got to go off of is this photo and that early teaser poster.
