Richard Kelly revealed what many thought was a less than outstanding cut of his sophmore film "Southland Tales" at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival. Since then Kelly has been doing a massive overhaul of the film and it will finally get a limited release this November.
With that said, take a look at the new trailer for "Southland Tales"-- Richard Kelly's second film and his first one since "Donnie Darko."
After Texas was nuked in 2005 America became a strictly enforced country, bordering martial law. Three years later an underground Marxist cult tries to take down the government by force. The story keeps coming back to action movie star Boxer Santaros (Dwayne Johnson), porn star Krysta Now (Sarah Michelle Gellar), and L.A. police officer Roland Taverner (Sean William Scott).
I'm puzzled at the really odd choice of casting for this movie, but it's kind of impressive that such mainstream actors have taken on something so different. The film looks great and appears to have a wonderful fusion of drama, comedy and science-fiction. (Great music by Moby too!) This just may be THE movie of the year-- Limited or not.
"Southland Tales" comes out November 9. Find a theater that's playing it and go!
