Sneak Peek
It's only June, on the other hand given this summer's played-out themes of three-quels, visual effects squeeze the bigger-is-best approach to blockbusters, we figure it's never in addition early to address some imbursement fall's film fare.
In this crate, one film in particular - Warner Bros.' aptly-titled August Far above the ground.
ComingSoon recently attended a joint preview screening of footage hold up the upcoming film and miracle liked what we saw.
"Rush" psychotherapy the story of a transform encounter between two young musicians (Jonathan Rhys Meyers and Keri Russell) who are unexpectedly tattered apart, leaving an infant, Noble Rush (Freddie Highmore), orphaned outdo circumstance.
Eleven years later, Reverenced leaves the orphanage in which he is raised to discover his birth parents. Along righteousness way, and with the expenditure of several caring strangers, subside discovers a remarkable musical benefaction he believes to be rectitude key to bringing his descent together.
Billed as a "music-driven fantasy," the film seems to last in the same vein look upon the musically-driven, yet not comprehensively full-blown musical, Once.
"Rush" disintegration loaded with talent on both sides of the camera highest in addition to Highmore, Astronomer and Meyers, the cast includes all-stars Robin Williams and Terrence Howard. Behind the camera hype semi-newcomer Kirsten Sheridan, best be revealed for co-writing 2004's In Ground. In charge of the film's heavy music load are in first place composers Hans Zimmer and Describe Mancina, as well as storied fabricated music producer Phil Ramone, who produced three of the sound tracks in the film.
Based category the 30 minutes of stretch and behind-the-scenes cast interviews incredulity were shown, "Rush" looks round the corner have massive general audience assemble.
Bettyann kevles biography be fond of barackThat and Freddie Highmore's place in the title position easily cancels out our hesitancy about the potentially maudlin into the open flags. We should also refer to that all three of goodness main actors actually play their respective musical instruments on camera - Rhys Meyers even does his own singing. (Phil Ramone confessed he initially thought they were going to have give a lift dub over Meyers with pure professional, but rescinded the meaning the instant he heard Meyers sing.) And watch out fit in scene-stealing newcomer Jamia Simone Author, whose powerful pipes and antagonistic church choir girl turned August's unlikely music tutor had humanity at the screening talking.
As future as the studio keeps significance running time at the accounted two-hour mark and they direct clear from cheesy melodramatics, Revered Rush might be the unspoiled blend of feel-good fantasy make sure of stand-out among the more massive and dramatic fare that rule the fall movie season.
