2 NEW POSTERS FOR ‘THE FALL’

03.31.08 Written by Vince Mancini

The Fall, opening in limited release in May, has two new posters.  The synopsis sounds kind of cheesy:

In a hospital 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.

But the trailer (after the jump) and the stills released so far look pretty badass. How shall we solve this dilemma?  I say Russian roulette.

DAVID FINCHER AND SPIKE JONZE PRESENT

This is the trailer for The Fall, directed by Tarsem Singh and “presented” by Spike Jonze and David Fincher.

Watching the main guy in it start telling the little girl a story, at first I figured it would be just another children’s fantasy flick where talking unicorns fight with evil centaurs and shit.  But as it went along I started noticing that the cinematography was super badass (as the scientists like to say).  But then I was worried Brendan Fraser would still show up at the end to give it the kiss of death, but he never did.

Instead it got Spike Jonze and David Fincher’s names on it, and a quote from Roger Ebert.  Ebert quotes are a lot more persuasive now that the alternative is Harry from AICN (examples here, here and here). But I dunno, from what I’ve seen so far, I’d bone this movie.  It’ll be in limited release in March.
