Franklyn - New photos from Meanwhile City

I've posted some posters and the trailer for the Gerald McMorrow directed film starring Ryan Phillippe, Eva Green, Sam Riley and Bernard Hill. Now we have lots of new photos to look at thanks to io9.

Franklyn is set between the parallel worlds of contemporary London and the futuristic metropolis of Meanwhile City, and weaves a tale of four souls, whose lives are intertwined by fate, romance and tragedy. As these worlds collide, a single bullet determines the destiny of these four characters.

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.

Franklyn - Trailer hits the web

I mentioned this back on the 5th September and today a trailer has finally appeared.

Ryan Phillippe plays a masked vigilante detective named Preest, who is searching for his nemesis on the streets of Meanwhile City, a monolithic fantasy metropolis ruthlessly governed by faith and religious fervor. Bernhard Hill plays Esser, a broken man who is searching for his wayward son amongst the rough streets of London’s homeless. Sam Riley plays a heartbroken guy named Milo, who is desperately trying to find a way back to “the purity of first love.” And Eva Green plays an art student named Emilia whose suicidal artwork is “becoming increasingly more complex and deadly.”

What do you think of the trailer? Are you intrigued by the movie? The film is released in the UK in January next year.

Franklyn - Neo-noir set in Meanwhile City

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?
