Life Finds a Way

.
Here are a few new pictures of Jake Gyllenhaal in front of and behind the camera for Life, the outer space thriller he's in the Ryan Reynolds and Rebecca  Ferguson et cetera, which have arrived thanks to IHJM -- I'm personally keen on the shots of him slipping out of his jumpsuit alongside director Daniel Espinosa seen below.

(click to embiggen) I'm surprised to see this movie's out in just about six weeks -- it comes out on March 24th. It feels like a Summer Movie, doesn't it? But I guess there's not really such a thing anymore. Oh these mad times we live in!

And a new trailer aired during the Super Bowl...

(thx Mac) You see a lot more of the invasive extraterrestrial species in this trailer and I gotta admit I love the design -- it's reminding me of the underrated horror flick from 2008 called Splinter, which I hope all of you have seen. Anyway I hope it remains a sentient-adjacent slimy blob of tentacles and jelly-like matter, whose only directive is survival at the expense of anything its its way, because that is the sort of shit that scares me more than almost anything. Survival of the gooiest!

Lovecraftian ghoulies aside you'd think that my eyes would be full up with Jake & Mr. Reynolds bouncing around, but I gotta admit I spend each trailer hoping to see more and more of Hiroyuki Sanada, which this trailer really delivers on...

I hope he has something to do besides being "the Japanese one on the spaceship" -- he already did that in Danny Boyle's Sunshine.

Good grief Hiroyuki Sanada is a good looking man! Just looked him up...he's 56 years old?!?!? I'll have what he's having!

Hail Hiroyuki! What a handsome bloke. Hell No though to horse-face Jake whose face seems to elongate a bit more in this trailer. Ryan appears bland in all his scenes so all in all I'll give this a pass.

They blow up the ship in the end, don't they.

The trailer was a good reminder how I can only stand Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool these days. For 90 minutes every two years.
