AWAY WE GO poster
Sometimes my favourite movies from my favourite directors, tend to be those smaller ambitioned projects, those quickly made films that derivative from their overall bigger filmography. Films like Kubrick's The Killing (which I know doesn't really count because it was made before people knew about Kubrick) but Richard Linklater's all in one room movie Tape might be a good example. Anyway I'm long windingly telling you that I can't wait to see this Indie-esque Sam Mendes movie (American Beauty, Road to Perdition, Jarhead, Revolutionary Road). Focus Features have just literally e-mailed me the one sheet for Away We Go, so here it is... Yeah it's trying to be the next Juno, yeah the colour scheme looks like something that would appeal to a five year old, but well, I guess there's a bit of a five year old left within me. If you haven't caught the trailer yet, you simply must. Away We Go opens in June and will be Mendes' putting up his perfect record as a director, aiming for five for five.
