I love films that delight visually, and this one doesn't disappoint. With rich landscapes dripping in vivid colors, The Fall looks like a winner in terms of cinematography. In the trailer, a stranger who's bedridden in a hospital tells a young fellow patient a dramatic tale. More like a sweeping epic starring himself and four other valiant fellows. Our storyteller is played by Lee Pace, from ABC's Pushing Daisies, and his buff, extremely gorgeous appearance in this film will sweep away any lingering memories of the meek, troubled piemaker he portrays on the TV series. But what's the movie about?! Couldn't really tell, besides the fine fivesome fighting some odious foe named Governor Odious in a reality-bending tale. It looks like The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, only more colorful.
Release date: May 9.
Chance of box office success: Not the best, especially since it seems to be an indie. But it's got producers David Fincher and Spike Jonze on its side, and that alone could build some buzz.
Should you see it?: Yes -- it looks like a delightful world I'd love to sink into.
