I Could Never Let Go If I Tried

.

There are several movies that I'm looking forward to in the remainder of the year - Black Swan and Piranha 3D are two that pop right to mind! There's a double feature for ya - but none more than Mark Romanek's Never Let Me Go, an adaptation of Kazuo Ishiguro heart-rending novel. I've been going on about this project for almost two years now (first post) and that its release is now only a month and a half away - it's out in limited release on September 15th - seems surreal. I've seen the trailer several times now and it overwhelms me each time. My hopes for this one are in the stratosphere and I'm walking a very thin line of being esctatic with every new thing I see and terrified that it will all go wrong in the end. I haven't had a single reason to think it will go wrong yet, but this has been a brutal year for cinematic disappointment and just general underachievery. Fingers, toes, nethers crossed all goes good.

Anyway! That poster up top is new to my eyes, and via here are a pair of new pictures - one is a behind-the-scenes shot with Romanek directing his cast, and the other's of two very lovely people in character.
