I’ve been talking about how much I’m looking forward to seeing this film (more than 12 months now) and earlier in the week the c**k-teasing folks at Roadside Attractions decided to release the trailer onto the web without a definite release date (so far we have the month of May to work with). What will be gawked at until its finally hits theaters was an under-appreciated title for American distributors – Tarsem’s self-financed film is elusive to most because this is high-end art: check out the trailer to see what I mean.
Making its debut at TIFF in 06′, the excruciatingly long wait for the The Fall should end shortly, but not quickly enough for those who saw a mangled hopscotch tour of the world in Doug Liman’s The Jumper. Inspired by a short, Bulgarian film the director saw at a film festival almost a decade ago – this takes place in a hospital where a little girl with a broken collar bone meets a bedridden man who starts telling her a fantastical story which reflects his state of mind. As time goes by fiction and reality start to intertwine in this uplifting epic fantasy.
Tarsem is now working on WBros’. The Unforgettable – based on the video game “The Condemned: Criminal Origins” written by Kurt Sutter.
