"Never Let Me Go" trailer


Last night was the debut of the trailer for Mark Romanek's adaptation of Kazuo Ishiguro's (author of Remains of the Day) Never Let Me Go, and it looks like cause for celebration. The story isn't made entirely clear, though it doesn't seem too hard to figure out what the "big reveal" is. That said, what I've heard about the book is that, thankfully, it isn't all about the twist, which should hopefully keep the story from being one-note. Mulligan and Knightley seem really good, as do Charlotte Rampling and Sally Hawkins. The only one I'm not sold on is the only major male cast member: Andrew Garfield. He's got the only worrisome scene, which involves him SCREAMING at the sky. Depending on how it fits into the film, it could either be shamelessly melodramatic, or really compelling, but we can't really tell until the film comes out. Still, this one's on my radar for now, and I'm really tempted to run out and buy the book.
