CITY OF EMBER trailer looks like something I wanna see!

Yeah, I liked this quite a bit - though I was temporarily distracted from the very first sound of the trailer which (and don’t doubt it - I could be 100% spot on here because I played the game about 5 million times), sounds exactly like the sound made when a door opens on the N64 game Perfect Dark.

Anyway, moving on… I dug this trailer quite a bit.

The set designs look good, the movie for some reason has a German esque look about it. Maybe it’s just Metropolis invading my brain but this certainly doesn’t feel like a Hollywood movie despite the presence of Tim Robbins and Bill Murray.

I’m anxious too for seeing the Academy Award nominated Saoirse Ronan follow-up her brilliant turn in Atonement with a leading part.

Has a Guillermo del Toro feel about it, wouldn’t ya say? Love the end tease too.

Look for this one on October 10th (no U.K. release date as yet) from talented 31 year old director Gil Kenan, whose visual animated fest Monster House was a surprisingly entertaining movie back in 06. This is his second movie to date and his first live-action feature. Sure looks to me like he has some talent!

  1. What in the hell is Bill Murray doing in this movie? He looks totally bizarre and out of place here.

  2. The trailer for City of Ember looks awesome! I’m so excited to see this great book series become a real live action/adventure. From the trailer I can already tell the set looks awesomely creepy on a grand scale. Plus the talented cast of actors should put this movie over the top with actors such as Tim Robbins and Bill Murray portraying the villainous Mayor Cole. I cannot wait for October 10th!

    My name is Blair and I am an official ambassador for City of Ember and I have access to first-look pics of the movie not seen in the trailer, which I would be more than happy to share with you. I would love to have your help spreading the word about City of Ember and get the buzz going!

    I hope I’m not over stepping any bounds by posting on your blog.
    Hope to speak with you soon.

    Best,
