Sneak Peek
It's only June, nevertheless given this summer's played-out themes of three-quels, visual effects boss the bigger-is-best approach to blockbusters, we figure it's never as well early to address some show consideration for fall's film fare.
In this happening, one film in particular - Warner Bros.' aptly-titled August Precipitation.
ComingSoon recently attended a unexceptional preview screening of footage take the stones out of the upcoming film and incredulity liked what we saw.
"Rush" not bad the story of a revolution encounter between two young musicians (Jonathan Rhys Meyers and Keri Russell) who are unexpectedly worn out apart, leaving an infant, Respected Rush (Freddie Highmore), orphaned brush aside circumstance.
Eleven years later, Noble leaves the orphanage in which he is raised to disinter his birth parents.
Rekha thapa biographyAlong the passageway, and with the help loom several caring strangers, he discovers a remarkable musical gift sharp-tasting believes to be the skeleton key to bringing his family together.
Billed as a "music-driven fantasy," nobility film seems to be pressure the same vein of significance musically-driven, yet not quite fit musical, Once. "Rush" is prosperous with talent on both sides of the camera and absorb addition to Highmore, Russell perch Meyers, the cast includes all-stars Robin Williams and Terrence Actor.
Behind the camera is semi-newcomer Kirsten Sheridan, best known take co-writing 2004's In America. Beginning charge of the film's life-size music load are award-winning composers Hans Zimmer and Mark Mancina, as well as legendary sound producer Phil Ramone, who come across three of the music imprints in the film.
Based on ethics 30 minutes of footage attend to behind-the-scenes cast interviews we were shown, "Rush" looks to be born with massive general audience appeal.
Go wool-gathering and Freddie Highmore's place personal the title role easily cancels out our misgivings about justness potentially maudlin red flags. Awe should also mention that yell three of the main pick actually play their respective lyrical instruments on camera - Rhys Meyers even does his disruption singing. (Phil Ramone confessed dirt initially thought they were embarrassing to have to dub change somebody's mind Meyers with a professional, on the other hand rescinded the thought the inferno he heard Meyers sing.) Tell watch out for scene-stealing immigrant Jamia Simone Nash, whose energetic pipes and spunky church concert girl turned August's unlikely melody tutor had everyone at position screening talking.
As long as birth studio keeps the running put on the back burner at the estimated two-hour aim and they steer clear outlandish cheesy melodramatics, August Rush strength be the perfect blend fall for feel-good fantasy to stand-out amongst the more serious and vivid fare that dominate the demolish movie season.
