don't be dull, be fannish

So, Tom Hardy and Noomi Rapace are about to start filming the movie Animal Rescue together, right? And now they are in talks to star in another film together, Child 44, a Soviet-era thriller...

Daniel Espinosa is directing the thriller, which is set during the 1950s and follows a member of the Soviet police who, while investigating a series of child murders, finds himself the target of his own government’s suspicions.

Hardy would play the Soviet officer, while Rapace would play his wife, who pretends to be a doting partner but is concealing many thoughts and feelings.

Richard Price wrote the script adapting the Tom Rob Smith novel.

They must get along fabulously if they are so eager to be in another movie together so soon. I think it's awesome. I can't wait to see what they do with these parts.

Tom Hardy's attached to a movie called Animal Rescue - and now Noomi Rapace was offered the female lead! How awesome is that? These two seem to have so much fun together, it's sweet! I hope she takes the part, that would be awesome!

As Deadline.com says, Tom will play "a man who wants to shed his criminal path but somehow gets mixed up in a bad heist and a killing resulting from a lost and contested pit bull." He seems very excited about this film and about working with the director, Michael R. Roskam. Interesting...

Once more I have to ask, what people didn't get about the film. Reviewers insist that the movie is confusing, that it doesn't give you any answers, that it just opens many questions etc. and so on. I... don't get what people don't get? To me, the movie felt quite straightforward and easy to follow *head-tilt*

Overall, I liked it. Not as exciting as Aliens, but much better than Alien 3 & 4 - let's not even talk about those messes *cringes* What really made the movie for me was the character of David, played by Michael Fassbender. He was simply incredible. Hands down the best performance in the whole movie. I wasn't sure if he was or wasn't a bad guy, even at the very end. Strange.

Another thing I adored was the core crew of the Prometheus: Cpt. Janek, Chance and Ravel. They were really, really awesome. I admired their courage and their easy camaraderie. And was I the only one who felt slashy vibes between Chance and Ravel? I loved their banter and the smile they gave each other before the crash. In my head canon, they were an item *nods*

The special effects were all kinds of amazing. Wow, just wow! The ships, the star map that David entered... Wonderful! The movie is worth seeing just because of that.

Two things I didn't like: the score and Guy Pierce as Weyland. The music was really bland. Maybe because I usually listen to Last.fm's OST channel and I keep hearing Hans Zimmer's (Pirates of the Carribean, The Dark Knight Rises) and Hugh Jackman's (X-Men: First Class) amazing scores, this one felt so very, very bland in comparison. And what was the use of Guy Pierce as Weyland? Couldn't they simply gotten an old guy to play him? :-/

The ending was interesting - the bit with David and Elizabeth, not the weird alien thing - and I'm curious where Scott will take the story next.
