 source Quietearth
This weekend saw the UK/Irish release of The Girl Who Played With Fire was released and ever since the movies which all 3 have been made (The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet's Nest out in UK November 26th) Noomi Rapace has become one of the most wanted actress for her protryal of Lisbeth Salander. Its expected Rapace will soon take the step into Hollywood but before then there's still the matter of a movie on the homefront with Svinalängorna (Beyond).
The movie is set in the 1970's about a young womans experiences growning up in a household riddled with abuse and alcoholism, Rapace plays Leena who is now settled with her own family with her christmas shattered by the news of her mother is dying which rolls back the dark memories and first time visit to her mom in her adult life.
There's a great cast of Swedish actors (including Tehila Blad who plays a young Leena, she also played a young Lisbeth as well)  and despite the over dramatic trailer this is actually a very powerful drama which shows why Noomi Rapace is in demand by hollywood. The only shock is none of the big festivals have picked this up especially whose in it but Im sure it will be picked up some festival, however the movie is due to be released in Sweden on November 12th, trailer after the break...

tiff 2010: No Sonic Screwdriver’s here,Offical Trailer For WOMB

 source ThePeoplesmovies
The Playlist have posted online the trailer for the Benedek Fliegauf‘s indie drama WOMB. The movie stars Eva Green, the new Doctor Who Matt Smith , Lesley Manville, Peter Wright and Hannah Murray.
Rebecca (Green) has waited 12 long years to be with her childhood sweetheart again but only to loose him to an accident but now she can bring him back from the dead. The movie isn’t about a woman who can practice voodoo but the controversial look at cloning  and in this case human cloning and the ethical issues the cloning is raised.
The movie has a  mostly British cast with an Germany/Hungary/France produced movie which has been well put together highlighting the acting abilities of the movies main characters, I’m not Matt Smith’s biggest fan on the Doctor who side of things but outside the tardisI actually dont mind him as a actor. The movie does have a gentle charm to it but you do get the sense underneath the dark undertones of the movies subject matter.
Womb has just got itself a US distributor Olive Films so do expect somelimited release of the movie as for UK or Ireland no word yet but the next time the movie will be on a big screen will be next months Toronto Film Festival.
