From Daft Punk's 2005 album "Human After All," this apocalyptic song received a right proper video, but it was never released following MTV's alleged refusal to air it. It featured a sitcom family routine played out by clothed skeletons. *shrug*
I like the song, though, especially those insightful lyrics.
Okay, well, the poster art manages to tell you nothing about the film while being simultaneously uncompelling, but trust me - watch the trailer:
An atmospheric combination of political thriller and fairy tale, this seems a bit of a departure for director Joe Wright, whose previous films were adaptations of lauded novels ("Pride and Prejudice," "Atonement" and "The Soloist"). The ferocious young heroine does, however, suggest a unique spin for Wright's next project, a live-action adaptation of "The Little Mermaid" supposedly more true to the original Hans Christian Anderson tale than that of Disney's.
Perhaps most intriguing, especially in the wake of the absolute awesomeness of Daft Punk's electronic-ambient soundtrack for "Tron: Legacy" and Trent Reznor's work for "The Social Network," is the fact that the film is scored by the Chemical Brothers, fresh off contributions to the soundtrack for Darren Aronofsky's "Black Swan."Focus Features' official site for the film is pretty threadbare, but hopefully we'll wise up and add content over the course of the coming months.And just in case you're a bit rusty on the Chemical Brothers, here's the music video for their song "Let Forever Be."
