Exclusive: RT Visits the Set of Franklyn

by Joe Utichi | November 28, 2007

Summary

Just another rainy day in London. The mood at a swanky but down-to-earth eatery in the East End is tense. By the window, a young couple have something of a disagreement. She then walks out whilst he sits back in his chair, resigned to his fate. Someone from across the room yells "cut!" Back to Article

A messianic atheist. Oh the irony.

Man does this sound pretentious.

This movie can be as pretentious as it likes and I'll still be hanging out to see it, I love complicated plots and it stars my favourite leading lady Eva Green looking as gorgeous as ever...and I'm sure given her talent the role will be fantastic too. I can't say much about the rest of the cast except that Ryan Phillipe sometimes surprises and his role sounds interesting.

This sounds pretentious??? Coming from a Tarantino fan I'll take that with a grain of salt. This movie sounds like it could be great; it also sounds like the type of movie that could never be made in America - I mean, look at the reaction the Golden Compass gets for cryin out loud. Can you imagine how the Holy Rollers will react when they hear about this one!? It puts a smile to my face:)

Eva Green has the potential to be every director's muse.

Yay! Sam Riley was amazing in "Control" and I'm sure he's going to be just as amazing in this film. I'm so going to see this when it comes out.

I've seen this last weekend at the BFI festival, and it _is_ AWESOME. Although the sci-fi strand is what stands out the most visually, it is just one of four stories, and that it features so heavily in the initial trailer and reviews will probably turn people off, as you have so rightly pointed out, the religious right for starters. It is _not_ a movie about religion, it does have a point of view but no agenda. It is smart, intricate, brilliantly scripted and acted. It is a thriller that M.Night would kill for, in the sense that all the pieces come together at the end and unfortunately to refute the doubts one would have to give it away. If you like intelligent and original, Franklyn is an absolute delight.
