Interesting sounding film. Franklyn, starring Ryan Phillippe, Eva Green, Sam Riley and Bernard Hill among others. Written and directed by Gerald McMorrow. The story of four lost souls in a futuristic London society where there is no separation between Church and State.Quiet Earth have this description of it: Preest, a masked vigilante detective, searching for his nemesis on the streets of Meanwhile City, a monolithic fantasy metropolis ruthlessly governed by faith and religious fervor. Esser (Bernard Hill) is a broken man, searching for his wayward son amongst the rough streets of London's homeless. Milo (Sam Riley) is a heartbroken thirty-something desperately trying to find a way back to the purity of first love. Emilia (Green) is a beautiful art student; her suicidal art projects are becoming increasingly more complex and deadly.
Looks like four intertwined stories and is probably not going to be a bundle of laughs, but does sound intriguing and the imagery seems rather Sandman and DC Vertigo in general. Suicidal art projects does sound a bit silly though. Surely you can only ever do the one?

Ryan Philippe is a crap actor. Only thing I enjoyed watching with him in was Way of the Gun
