Zephyr_Nova Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 The visual style made me think of The Cell. Is it made by the guy who did The Cell? *heads to google in a couple minutes* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lumpenprol Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 as has been said quite a bit, Tarsem is an impressive visual stylist, but is remarkably inept at creating coherent narrative flow and engaging character interactions. He basically strings a bunch of beautiful postcards together and calls it a film... All his films have strong potential but suck in that vague way it's hard to put your finger on...

Yeah, this, except with The Cell, it's not hard to pinpoint the suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lumpenprol Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 I have to admit I kinda like the Cell, but I know it's not high art. Oh wait, I was confused, the flick in the trailer is not directed by Tarsem, lol. Did anyone see Tarsem's recent Greco-roman bloodbath flick?

Zephyr_Nova Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 It's directed by a guy named Panos Cosmatos, not Tarsem. I just thought it looked like The Cell, I wasn't providing any valid info about the movie itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YO303 Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Who the fuck is Tarsem?? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1534085/ Director: Panos Cosmatos You guys and you inability to check IMBD before making ridicolous assumptions, you all look very foolish now.

patternoverlap Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Reviews for it aren't favorable but I'll go see it in a theater if it is available. The movies it seems to reference are movies that I like (THX-1138, 2001, Phantasm, etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jules Posted February 16, 2012 Author Share Posted February 16, 2012 Set in the strange and oppressive emotional landscape of the year 1983, BEYOND THE BLACK RAINBOW is a Reagan-era fever dream inspired by hazy childhood memories of midnight movies and Saturday morning cartoons. Cosmatos was born in Rome in 1974 to the late Greek movie director (George Cosmatos) and a Swedish experimental artist mother. He spent his early formative years traveling all over the globe before settling in Canada. In 1981, the family lived for a year in Mexico where exposure to the strange local interpretations of American pop culture had a profound and lasting effect on his creative life. Growing up in the isolated suburbs of Vancouver Island during the 80s, he obsessed over the minutiae of heavy metal, fantasy art, and science fiction horror films, which he still does to this day. He then immersed himself in the underground art and music scenes making short films, album covers and music videos with a burgeoning group of influential and groundbreaking artists. Pantos currently lives and works in Vancouver, British Columbia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest beatfanatic Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 I am more excited for the soundtrack since its done by Jeremy Schmidt AKA Sinoia Caves (and perhaps better known as the synth wonder from Black Mountain). Here is a slightly different trailer with better music [youtubehd]nKdWj9-VMzs[/youtubehd] The poster is pretty cool as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
