I saw this on Wednesday, but it’s getting so difficult to decide which stories to post and which to hold back on without swamping the front page! So now, on a quieter day…
Clive Owen is seriously hot property just now, and thank the lord. He’s a great talent and he’s been passed over for so long. Now his time has come. There’s also another great aspect to this newfound workload, he’s probably not going to play that B named character I swore not to mention until cast. So no career curse for him.
News from Yahoo came that he’s starring in a new movie, nothing outstanding until you hear the plot:
“Children of Men” takes place in the near future, when mankind has lost the ability to procreate and the world is rocked by the news that the youngest person on Earth — who is 18 years old — has died. As chaos erupts, a former radical (Owen) becomes protector of the most sought-after person on the planet — the first pregnant woman in almost 20 years.
Sounds an excellent premise, and guess what? An original idea?! Oh lord, please say it’s true. Even if this was awful I would go to see it just to boost the figures and vote for originality with my cash. However, it’s not really an original idea, although the setting and premise around the sole protector part is. Still, sounds good. What do you think? Done before just sci-fi, or a promising plot?
