The plot sounds interesting (&sad) so it's definetely on my watchlist.

 

[Filmbloke]

Picking this up. Caught it earlier in the year and it is a visually stunning film. Definitely worth checking out IMO.

Wasn't this available in 3D?

It's not a 3D film (in the UK at least)

Well that sucks, I thought it would be an ideal candidate for the 3D treatment

Never heard of the movie. Gotta give it a look

I'm digging the temp art, I hope it doesn't change!

 

[C.C. 95]

That is some WILD temp art!!
This sounds like The Bridge to Terabithia - it looks like a fun fantasy, but turns out to be a dark tale about death and dying.

Cinema release is New Years day

Free Steelbook if the movie duds at the box office.

Well, with some great artwork choices available for the steelbook from the film posters it would nevertheless be super cool to have the TBC artwork as confirmed artwork - artwork taken from the original book illustrations by JIM KAY from the *multi-award winning story by PATRICK NESS from an idea by SIOBHAN DOWD.


Original poster designs include these stunners:-

Don't know too much about this movie, but I'll definitely check it out at some point... even if it's just for Felicity Jones.

P.S. It's probably just me, but I can't help but think of Jock's artwork for The Thing every time I see the front art in the OP...

 

[Norwichlad]

I am Groot

 

[Actarus]

Does anyone know when it is supposed to go live ?

For some reason I'm getting a Wicker Man vibe.

Saw this 2-3 weeks ago at Odeon's Screen Unseen showing. Very good film, but also really sad.

Would definitely recommend watching, I don't know if I would want to own the film though!

Now live to order, no codes working.
