‘Me and My Shadow’ And More…

ME AND MY SHADOW

If you’re a fan of animations (and how in most cases contrasting characters are pitched against each other 😉 ), you may want to keep your eyes open for Me and My Shadow which is basically about…

Official Synopsis: “Me and My Shadow tells the story of Shadow Stan, an extremely frustrated shadow who yearns for a dynamic life but happens to be stuck with Stanley Grubb, the world’s most boring human.  Finally pushed to the brink, Shadow Stan breaks the singular rule of the Shadow World – “They lead, we follow” – and takes control of Stanley!” – Collider

Release Date: November 13th, 2013.

LIFE OF PI

Tobey Maguire may be missed, by some quarters, sporting the red and blue spandex outfit of Spiderman, but he isn’t laying low.  His current work, alongside Irrfan Khan, Adil Hussain, and Gerard Depardieu, a book adaptation sounds quite intriguing from its official synopsis below…

Official Synopsis: “The son of a zookeeper, Pi Patel has an encyclopedic knowledge of animal behavior and a fervent love of stories. When Pi is sixteen, his family emigrates from India to North America aboard a Japanese cargo ship, along with their zoo animals bound for new homes.  The ship sinks. Pi finds himself alone in a lifeboat, his only companions a hyena, an orangutan, a wounded zebra, and Richard Parker, a 450-pound Bengal tiger. Soon the tiger has dispatched all but Pi, whose fear, knowledge, and cunning allow him to coexist with Richard Parker for 227 days while lost at sea. When they finally reach the coast of Mexico, Richard Parker flees to the jungle, never to be seen again. The Japanese authorities who interrogate Pi refuse to believe his story and press him to tell them “the truth.” After hours of coercion, Pi tells a second story, a story much less fantastical, much more conventional–but is it more true?” – Collider

Release Date: November 21st, 2012.

ANNA KARENINA

If you’re a fan of Keira Knightley, Jude Law, and Aaron Johnson, then read on… Anna Karenina has the afore mentioned actors  starring in this upcoming romantic flick, directed by Joe Wright (Hanna, Pride and Prejudice) and based off a classic novel (shock there 😉 )…

Official Synopsis: “The third collaboration of Academy Award nominee Keira Knightley with director Joe Wright, following the award-winning boxoffice successes “Pride & Prejudice” and “Atonement,” is the epic love story “Anna Karenina,” adapted from Leo Tolstoy’s classic novel by Academy Award winner Tom Stoppard (“Shakespeare in Love”). The story unfolds in its original late-19^th-century Russia high-society setting and powerfully explores the capacity for love that surges through the human heart, from the passion between adulterers to the bond between a mother and her children. As Anna (Ms. Knightley) questions her happiness, change comes to her family, friends, and community.” Collider
