Such a superb book. Whoever adapted will get full dap if they can even come close to pulling it off.
Sorry, but “Dogtooth” did it better.
Read this novel. Read this screenplay.
Definitely the feel good movie of 2010.
One of the best books I’ve read in a while. I’m extremely glad that they didn’t try to hide the “twist” in the trailer and make it some sort of sci-fi thriller.
What is the premise we are required to accept here? Not quite clear…
It’s a period reboot of The Island.
Basically, it’s “The Island” — if it were made by Merchant Ivory instead of Michael Bay.
but the screen test is so-so on iMDB
I totally agree, Thinkerbelle.
Seems morose and morbid. Seems like a complete downer without possibly intending it to be.
Either the trailer did a poor job capturing what this film is about or it really seems like it is a bad movie. Shame, really, because i was hoping it might be something I’d watch.
What is Hollywood doing??
does no one here read?! It’s based on an amazing book.
@ Seems Like, Liz, and Anonymous:
Thanks. I love it when people who know help answer questions.
You also helped save me the price of two movie tickets, excluding concessions.
It’s the Island in an English Boarding School.
It’s not supposed to be clear, it’s a mystery.
I can’t help wondering how The Wolfman would have turned out if romanek hadn’t left?
I love all the crowing about how we need originals and how it sucks when trailers give away everything –
Then you deliver that and people get pissed.
It’s an AMAZING book. Great cast. Can’t wait to see it.
Suckit haters. Go see A Team.
Loved the book, but the director in this case may to too cool, cerebral, and emotionally detached (stylistically speaking) to bring Ishiguro’s mannered dystopia to life on screen. I hope I’m wrong, but the trailer plays like Merchant-Ivory, but without the sense of humor.
this trailer looks amazing. i am so sick of all the negativity in these comments. unbelievable. bunch of losers.
Clearly none of you read books.
we see that they’ve all been chipped, and then their headmistress comments something like, “we wanted to see if you’d have souls at all”, so we know they’re some kind of clones who have a short lifespan like the guy in MOON…this is TOO MUCH info already. Yes, it’s presented in a very unfocused manner, but the only part left to the imagination is the climax…are they run over by cars, or do they escape to live possibly beyond the few days they might have left. Yawn.
You people need to read more! Kazuo Ishiguro, incredible novel! Try it!
” It’s the Island in an English Boarding School.”
No, it’s the adaptation of Kazuo Ishiguro’s Booker Prize nominated book. Reducing a brilliant piece of
writing to inane tag lines is the same as saying “Hamlet” is a rebooting of “The Fighting Prince of Donegal.” It over simplifies the subject matter and shows us what is really wrong with the entertainment industry, that no one reads anymore and everything has become a short hand for describing complicated and layered pieces of work. It’s truly sad.
something that engages a few brain cells it seems
This looks great. Why is it “required” that you “accept” the “premise”? For once, a trailer doesn’t reveal every single plot point, and you’re still complaining?
It’s a beautiful trailer (with great music) that tells a story all on its own, yet leaves a significant mystery to discover.
Been looking very much forward to new material from Mark Romanek, an antidote to the traditional “Hollywood” sensibility that some here mistakenly think this film is a part of…
I heard about this film a short while ago – they were advertising it about a lesbian lip lock between Keira and Carey which was intended to turn me on so that I’d want to see the film. Well, that’s the one thing that will make me NOT want to see it. But if that wasn’t enough, watching this totally screwy trailer that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever would do it.
Someone just asked ‘what is Hollywood doing?’ I don’t know. But what they’re obviously NOT doing is making a film I want to see.
And here we have comments that divide the readers from the non readers. Never Let Me Go was a stunning & brilliant book. There are too few modern books that you think about and don’t let go of for days and weeks after you have put it down and NLMG was one of them for me – just chilling. How well it translates to film remains to be seen but Ishiguro’s very serene and almost detached The Remains of the Day was a beautiful film.
This movie definitely has a potential market. Why should it appeal to everyone, especially the dorks who cite The Island and somehow imagine they were in the target audience?
