International artwork has come in for three films that are all on our radar so we made one big smorgasbord out of them for you. Check out Devil’s Due in Spanish; I, Frankenstein in Italian; and eine doppelte dosis of Only Lovers Left Alive in German.
20th Century Fox’s Devil’s Due, featuring Allison Miller (“Terra Nova”) and Zach Gilford (“Friday Night Lights”) , opens in theaters everywhere January 17, 2014. Penned by Lindsay Devlin, it’s directed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett (Radio Silence).
Synopsis:
After a mysterious, lost night on their honeymoon, a newlywed couple find themselves dealing with an earlier-than-planned pregnancy. While recording everything for posterity, the husband begins to notice odd behavior in his wife that they initially write off to nerves, but as the months pass, it becomes evident that the dark changes to her body and mind have a much more sinister origin.
I, Frankenstein (a Hopscotch Features/Lakeshore Entertainment/Lionsgate/Sidney Kimmel Entertainment production) was written for the screen and directed by Stuart Beattie from a screen story by Kevin Grevioux and Beattie. The cast includes Aaron Eckhart, Bill Nighy, Yvonne Strahovski, Miranda Otto, Socratis Otto, Jai Courtney, Kevin Grevioux, Mahesh Jadu, Caitlin Stasey, and Aden Young as Victor Frankenstein. Look for it in theatres, including IMAX, on January 24, 2014.
Synopsis
200 years after his shocking creation, Dr. Frankenstein’s creature, Adam (Eckhart), still walks the earth. But when he finds himself in the middle of a war over the fate of humanity, Adam discovers he holds the key that could destroy humankind.
Only Lovers Left Alive is hitting Sundance in January and then opening in limited theatres in April via Sony Pictures Classics. Jim Jarmusch wrote and directed the vampire story starring Tom Hiddleston, Tilda Swinton, and Mia Wasikowska.
Synopsis
Adam is a bloodsucker who makes a living as a reclusive musician. He reunites with the love of his life, Eve (Tilda Swinton), a fellow vampire who leaves her home overseas to be with him in the downtrodden Motor City. They eventually get a visit from Eve’s irresponsible sister (Mia Wasikowska), who irritates Adam and eventually causes trouble with the one human – the vampires refer to the living as “zombies” – with whom the depressed music hero gets along.
