Pandorum - New trailer for dark sci-fi

Another great trailer for this sci-fi film. I do wonder if Dennis Quaid's character is just a figment of Ben Foster's imagination.

Two crewmen (Ben Foster, Dennis Quaid) 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? Who 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.

Pandorum - New creepy poster for sci-fi horror film

Another great poster for the sci-fi film Pandorum.

The terrifying thriller follows two crew members who wake up on an abandoned spacecraft with no idea who they are, how long they've been asleep, or what their mission is. The two soon discover they're actually not alone -- and the reality of their situation is more horrifying than they could have imagined.

Still no idea if the things they see are real or all in their mind. Is Dennis Quaid's character a figment of Ben Foster's imagination?

It is due out on 4th September and directed by Christian Alvart, the film stars Dennis Quaid, Ben Foster, Antje Traue, Cung Le, Norman Reedus and Cam Gigandet.

Pandorum - New trailer for sci-fi space weirdness

This is looking rather good and a tad suspenseful.

It stars Dennis Quaid, Ben Foster, Antje Traue, Cung Le, Norman Reedus and Cam Gigandet.

Two astronauts awaken in a hyper-sleep chamber aboard a seemingly abandoned spacecraft. It's pitch black, they are disoriented, and the only sound is a low rumble and creak from the belly of the spacecraft. They can't remember anything - who are they, what is their mission? The only way out of the chamber is a dark and narrow airshaft. Corporal Bower (Foster), the younger of the two, crawls inside, while the other, Lt. Payton (Quaid), stays behind for guidance on a radio transmitter. As Bower ventures deeper and deeper into the ship, he begins to uncover a terrifying reality. Slowly the spacecraft's shocking and deadly secrets come unraveled, and the astronauts realize that the survival of mankind hinges on their actions.

I just hope it doesn't end up as some predictable bit of space horror. At the moment it is looking like a mix of Dead Space, Event Horizon, Alien and a few others.

What do you think the story is about? Does the trailer grab you?

Cargo - What's in those strange boxes?

Cargo is a Swiss sci-fi thriller that looks rather nice. The synopsis sounds a little like Pandorum, but oit has a slightly different feel to it. Quiet Earth have a few photos from the film.

Since the biosphere collapsed on Earth most of humanity lives in space, inhabiting hopelessly overcrowded space stations. The only hope to escape from the chaos is RHER: A paradise-planet 5 light-years from Earth.

The story of CARGO takes place on rusty space-freighter KASSANDRA on its way to Station 42. The young medic LAURA is the only one awake on board while the rest of the crew lies frozen in hibernation sleep. Only in 4 months will Laura's shift be over. During her daily patrols, through the eerily empty ship, LAURA begins to get the feeling that she is not alone on-board. A discovery mission in the dark and ice-cold cargo hold ends in catastrophe. The remainder of the crew is awakened. A cat and mouse game begins in which nothing is what it seems. What lies hidden in the strange freight containers and who, or what, is also on-board?

The below video shows some footage with completed FX, the sets, costumes and lots more behind the scenes type stuff. All in all it looks good.

Pandorum - New photos of the sci-fi hypersleep film

Overture films have released these 3 new photos from the sci-fi film Pandorum. It is directed by Christian Alvart and stars Dennis Quaid and Ben Foster but I don't think Dennis is in any of these. Foster is the blond guy above. However, the Quaidster is in some older photos. Oh and some here.
"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?

UPDATED: Pandorum photos and plot synopsis

Summit Entertainment asked me to take down the first poster for Christian Alvart's upcoming sci-fi thriller, Pandorum, earlier this week (they were very nice about it). However, Entertainment Weekly's officially published the first images from the film so I think I'll be okay with these.The film, which stars Dennis Quaid and Ben Foster is about: "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? Who 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."

UPDATE: Actor Cam Gigandet actually talked about the film in an interview with MTV two weeks ago. Apparently it hasn't even start shooting yet, as he was just about to head off to Berlin to start filming at the time. He explains a bit more about the story, saying "they're trying to find a different place to live, basically, and things go horribly wrong. It's about them figuring out the problem." Gigandet also cryptically mentions that it "could be in the future, but it could not be." That last part makes me think it could be some kind of Twilight Zone plot where the 2 astronauts wake, have no memory of what they are doing, danger ensues and it all turns out they are still on Earth and it has all been a training exercise to see how the effects of long term hyper-sleep, suspended animation, whatever, effect them.

It looks like across between Event Horizon and Alien to me. What do you think?
