Childhood's End | Hard Shell.

No teens or mutant teens, take your pick: In the near future, Clive Owen, Julianne Moore, Michael Caine, and Chiwetel Ejiofor look to save the Earth's last pre-born in the dystopic new trailer for Alfonso Cuaron's Children of Men. (Between this and The Fountain, it may be a good fall for sci-fi.) And Michelangelo, Raphael, Donatello, and Leonardo (the turtles, not the artists) get the CGI treatment in the teaser for TMNT. (No Elias Koteas or Sam Rockwell this time around? Bleah.)

Children of Men looks very cool indeed -- I do enjoy a good bleak future. Thanks for the heads-up!

Didn't we read that for a SciFi Interim at GSSM?

Did we? I don't remember it...was this junior year with Den? I only remember reading Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? and Hitchhiker's and watching Brazil (again).

I saw Children of Men tonight. Damme but that's a fine film! Bleak, thoughtful, compelling and all-too plausible -- fortunately, not devoid of humour to relieve the tension. Fine performances all-round (Michael Caine naturally is a bit of a scene-stealer) and a number of OMG scenes. An instant classic.
