Guys check out this trailer and featurette for THE DARKEST HOUR! There's a bunch more new shots to amaze over - got to hand it to Timur Bekmambetov (and my buddy and stereographer Kasimir Lehto), it looks good.
For you music buffs, apparently the first song is 'I Need Air' by Magnetic Man and the second song that drops in (at 00:14) is 'Stress' by Justice (Remixed by Nero).
Here's the storyline: The Darkest Hour follows five young people who find themselves stranded in Moscow, fighting to survive in the wake of a devastating alien attack. The 3D action-thriller highlights the classic beauty of Moscow alongside mind-blowing special effects from the minds of visionary filmmaker Timur Bekmambetov and director Chris Gorak.
Director: Chris Gorak Writer: Les Bohem Studio: Summit Entertainment Cast: Emile Hirsch, Olivia Thirlby, Max Minghella Release: December 23, 2011
Plenty to choose from and many different genres so what do you think? TINTIN is still my number one but don't let that sway your opinion!!Voting is at the top of the page...
How about Martin Scorsese's HUGO? Looks absolutely brilliant! Or that new sci-fi thriller THE DARKEST HOUR that features those new aliens that DON'T look humaniod. How about Tarsem Singh's IMMORTALS?
3D animation is certainly enjoying the extra dimension with THE LION KING enjoying it's second round and sequels and spinoffs in the making in HAPPY FEET 2 and PUSS IN BOOTS. I think PIB will do absolutely amazing business.
Very cool. As I have said before, I think we may finally have a sci-fi movie here that presents alien life forms as truly alien! I have been waiting for this for a long, long time.
If you haven't seen the trailer for THE DARKEST HOUR, definitely check it out.

Wow. Where did this thing come from? Ok well I knew it was coming but this trailer walked right up to me and smacked me in the head. Sure there was some concept art out there a while ago but this trailer speaks for itself! This movie has possibilities written all over it!!
And it's pedigree is exceptional. Produced by Timur Bakmambetov (ABRAHAM LINCOLN: VAMPIRE KILLER), directed by Chris Gorak (RIGHT AT YOUR DOOR), written by Jon Spaihts (PROMETHEUS) and my good friend Kasimir Lehto (UNDERWORLD: AWAKENING) is the Stereographer - these guys know what they are doing and are extremely creative.
This was a native 3D production and they used Sony F-35s with Element Technica Quasar rigs provided by Panavision.
The special effects and 3D are going to be amazing! Can't wait for this one on multiple levels. Emile Hirsch (SPEED RACER), Max Minghella (THE SOCIAL NETWORK), Olivia Thirlby (DREDD), and Rachael Taylor (CHARLIE'S ANGELS - TV 2011) star.
So what has me so amped? Read my thoughts after the trailer - don't want to spoil it for you...
I just can't get over the refreshing angle on an alien species! This is right on so many levels I can't begin to say. So often sci-fi is based on creatures we can relate to (humanoid) and on planets that we can actually live on (Star Trek TOS anyone?), I am so hoping that this one actually presents us with aliens that are COMPLETELY alien! We can see only visible light obviously but the universe is more than that. Finally!! This is like a dream come true if they actually can pull it off and that I am not wrong about the creatures.
