Yeah, I'd see this for the cast. I remember quite liking the original but don't remember much about the plot, because I have a terrible memory, so will probaby be quite happy to revisit it.
It sounds like it also has something in common with 2003's Spare Parts (Reservni Deli), which is about people smugglers getting refugees across Croatia and Slovenia into Italy, and is one of the most poignant, moving films I think I've ever seen.

I liked The Drop well enough, and it also has Tom Hardy being cute with a cute dog. It's like a feature length version of that Tom Hardy being cute with cute dogs thing that people were talkng about last week.
Nice work. I can't choose. all of those are my favourites.
It was on for quite a while over here but I never got round to seeing it - I have to say the trailer never made me want to, Hardy notwithstanding, there's only so much Gor blimey guvnah faux London this Londoner can stand - and it disappeared weeks ago. It's weird that they would delay it so much elsewhere, there…
I just read a crime thriller called The Killing Moon, so I got a bit confused for a moment by your post. 'That doesn't sound right…' But good to have a good fantasy recommendation, I'm going to try this, it sounds just my sort of thing. After I finish the Saladin Ahmed I'm reading.
I believe it, because Theron is 15 years older than Stewart, and our society is so youth focused. Theron is extremely beautiful, but in real life she'd be ignored by many just because of her age in favour of someone Stewart's age.
All bad things are :(
Oh I didn't know that. I feel bad now.
Oh I hope they do that.
I enjoyed the first one, even while fully aware it didn't hold together. It was sort of like Leverage meets The Prestige, or whatever. I also really fancy both Jesse Eisenberg and Mark Ruffalo, so that helped. So yeah, I'll see the sequel. Also, Daniel Radcliffe! He's cute too.
You see people say tetralogy and quadrilogy, but I think we should resurrect 'quartet' and use that for all these 'four movies based on a book trilogy' things.
but alma means nurturing or kind in Latin, and given the other Roman references - Panem, Caesar, Seneca, gladiatorial stuff etc… I think that's more likely?
A preview has just started at my local cinema but I have to do work :( it's a double bill with the previous one. I really wanted to go (and I could still make it before the end of the ads if I left now) but I shouldn't.
yeah it was just a caveat in case I'm actually agreeing with something I don't actually agree with but only think I agree with…
I loved the ending too. I really hope the film sticks with it. (But I also liked the epilogue and kind of want to see that too.)
There's a few details like that I wish they'd gone with, like the dead kids becoming recognisably the wolves at the end of the first one.
I don't understand the first bit but I sympathise with what I think the sentiment is. some of us miserably childless lonely people tend to think that if you do have the marriage and kids we wish we had, you have no right to complain about anything. I know it's not fair but. I think this kind of counts as a spoiler…
