finde auch, dass der trailer in manchen teilen ein bisschen "zu englisch" aussieht.. irgendwie nicht so professionelle bilder, wie man sie vielleicht von einem hollywoodstreifen gewöhnt ist.. und ich weiss ja nicht.. aber ist der kerl, der cowley spielt wirklich nen guter schauspieler? im trailer siehts so gekünzelt aus irgendwie.
Ich schätze mal nicht...direct to DVD würd ich mal sagen

Der streifen läuft u.a. im Mai in Cannes. Hierzulande wurde der Film noch nicht mal geprüft . Und in der Liste der Filmverleiher taucht er auch nirgends auf,also wirds ne DTV Geschichte. Schmerzlich aber wahr, Filme die die Welt nicht braucht.
Zitat von Heady the 2ndDer streifen läuft u.a. im Mai in Cannes. Hierzulande wurde der Film noch nicht mal geprüft . Und in der Liste der Filmverleiher taucht er auch nirgends auf,also wirds ne DTV Geschichte. Schmerzlich aber wahr, Filme die die Welt nicht braucht.
Vielleicht sollten wir den Film ersteinmal abwarten, bevor man so hart urteilt. Es gibt etliche Hollywood Produktionen, die es in die Kinos schaffen und objektiv betrachtet totaler crap sind. Umgekehrt gibt es auch tolle Filme, denen ein großer Kinoerfolg verwehrt blieb.
Ich habe selbst keine Ahnung, ob der Film gut wird-aber ne Chance geben kann man ihm ja.
Das mag mit sicherheit sein! Keine Frage,aber wenn ich die Story schon lese und dann noch den Trailer sehe....auweia. Aber warten wir es mal ab :D. Ein Review auf meiner Site hat der schonmal sicher *gg*.
Man, Bruce ist einfach zu cool für diese Welt!! =) Guckt euch mal an wie lässig er heute bei der Premiere von Chemical Wedding in Cannes gekleidet war =)
The story begins with the arrival of American scientist Mathers from Cal Tech to supervise the installation of a virtual reality simulator suit at Cambridge University. For the very first time this state-of-the-art piece of equipment is being hooked up to a revolutionary new British supercomputer, the Z93, which unbeknown to anyone, has been programmed with a virus by lab assistant Victor who has reduced the rituals of Aleister Crowley into binary code and infected it with them.
The film time shifts back to when mild mannered university lecturer Professor Haddo (Simon Callow) is willingly persuaded into the suit by Victor for its first trial run. Haddo goes missing immediately after his experience in the suit and turns up the following day at a lecture theatre to give a talk on Shakespeare's "Hamlet" -- except that clearly he is no longer the man he used to be, no longer the meek stammering lecturer he was before his VR suit experience but now an outrageous sexually explicit speaker who urinates on his audience. The film goes on to imply that the Z93 supercomputer virus composed by Victor has actually caused Haddo to become the reincarnation of Aleister Crowley and so begins a tale of the apparent depths of depravity that a person possessed by the soul of Aleister Crowley would sink to.
This is the crux of the problem that this film has -- just what would someone possessed by the late Aleister Crowley do all day long? "Sex and murder" unfortunately is this film's disturbing answer and then just how outrageous can this character become? The implication in the trailer was that this portrayal of Crowley might be tongue-in-cheek or humorous, but the result is far more worrying than that.
Numerous examples of exactly "just how evil could a person possessed by Aleister Crowley be" continue in a procession of visual and conceptual shocks ranging from relatively innocuous excrement deposited on an office desk to the crucifixion of a prostitute. Now, controversial a character as Crowley was, I really must ask what Bruce Dickinson is up to here. I listened to Callow emphasise that his portrayal of Haddo was "Playing the part of someone possessed by Crowley... and not actually Crowley Himself" but I see this as a pre-emptive excuse on his part for what we saw on screen and some of the issues that we might have with it.
As for the characters: shallow, meaningless and undefined. Haddo comes over as nothing and we don't care that he's been possessed by Aleister Crowley (n.b. Simon Callow's performance is a delight -- I just wish the script had been up to it.), Lia the journalist is our damsel in distress and you don't care if she's rescued or not, Aleister Crowley is just pure evil and doesn't deserve to be reincarnated, Victor is just a virus writing geek and got what he deserved.
Deeply offensive, blatantly sensationalist, Bruce Dickinson's script leaves me with questions about the target audience of this film -- fans of Simon Callow (?), fans of Bruce Dickinson (heavy metal fans who will be disappointed by the soundtrack), fans of Aleister Crowley (please note, only those who specifically want to be thought of as evil and twisted) or practicing occultists (who will be annoyed by this film's cold and completely non-spiritual content).
