Your Poster Is Cool | Never Let Me Go

Mark Romanek’s adaptation of Kazuo Ishiguro’s acclaimed novel Never Let Me Go opens in limited release on September 15th, and judging from the film’s trailer Romanek seems to have crafted a very unique dramatic film. Fox Searchlight has recently released three character posters for the film, and although they are merely the actors faces there is something very haunting and poetic about them. Never Let Me Go stars Carey Mulligan (An Education, Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps), Andrew Garfield (The Social Network, Spider-Man Reboot), Keira Knightley (Pride and Prejudice, The Duchess), and is directed by Mark Romanek (One Hour Photo). Continue on to check out the posters for the film, as well as the trailers for Never Let Me Go and Romanek’s underrated directorial debut One Hour Photo.

Trailer Exam | Mark Romanek’s “Never Let Me Go”

Never Let Me Go

In the wake of a lousy summer at the movies, there has been quite a few excellent trailers pop up on the internet. I recently posted the trailer for Sofia Coppola’s new film Somewhere, and today I present to you the trailer for Mark Romanek’s Never Let Me Go. For those unfamiliar with Romanek’s work, he is the director of the intensely creepy One Hour Photo and some very successful music videos such as: Michael and Janet Jackson’s “Scream”, Fiona Apple’s “Criminal”, and my personal favorite Johnny Cash’s “Hurt”. Based on the trailer, Never Let Me Go seems as it will once again showcase Romanek’s fantastic visual style while also providing source material that will allow him to branch out. The film is based on a novel by Kazuo Ishiguro and stars Keira Knightley and Carey Mulligan. Check out the haunting trailer below and continue on to see Mark Romanek’s music video for Johnny Cash’s “Hurt”.
