Snowpiercer

[Mutagen]

Character posters have me kind of excited for this now.

The film is a bit of a wet dream really, bringing together a powerhouse tag-team of South Korean talent in Bong Joon-Ho ("The Host," "Mother") and producer Park Chan-Wook (director of "Oldboy", "Lady Vengeance," "I'm a Cyborg.") for an adaptation of the cult French graphic novel "Le Transperceneige." It's a dystopian sci-fi, with an almost completely frozen earth having reduced the human population to a single society living entirely on a perpetual-motion powered train, the eponymous Snowpiercer. An international cast includes Chris Evans, Jamie Bell, John Hurt, Song Kang-ho, Alison Pill, Octavia Spencer and Ewen Bremner, as well as [Tilda] Swinton.

The Host (the Korean one, not the Stephanie Meyers flop) was an awesome little monster movie, so I'm kind of excited to see what the same director does with this premise and this cast.  I really hope it turns out to be good.

I love Song Kang Ho. So very much. And then there's The Swinton. Got my vote!

I love each and every single one of the cast. I haven't seen The Host but I've heard really good things about the director. I just really want Chris Evans to be in a non-comic book movie that doesn't suck.

Me too! He really pleasantly surprised me as Captain America.

Me too! At some point I decided that I like him and want good things for him--I'm not really sure why, but now that I've made that decision I'm sticking with it. Anyway, I think this movie looks great and I'm super excited about it.

Getting great early reviews! I need this to be released in America now, dammit.

Thought this would play at my local theater since they played the preview the last two times I was there but NO.
Guess I will have to drive 45 miles or wait a week or two and pick it up from the special guy at the flea market.

Any Greecies been yet?

This seems like such a wacky idea for a movie. A train that goes nowhere through glaciated wilderness and never stops? How do they refuel? Where does their food come from?

I saw. I loved. I recommend. Chris Evans is Hawt! Harvey is rolling it out slowly. All shows in LA are selling out (and with good reason).

I am calling this my favorite movie of the year so far. Acting is great, visuals are great. I love the story. I can't recommend it enough. While violent, it wasn't as bloody as I anticipated. Also, bonus- Ed Harris!
