I found the following article, funnily enough, trying to find a list of unknown sci-fi (I've actually found some real gems previously using this method).

The Top 9 Unknown Sci-fi Films to look out for in 2009

To catch your attention, for the mainstreamers Bruce Willis turns up, and for the sci-fi buffs, there's a Philip K. Dick adaptation. For those who don't know who Philip K. Dick is:

Blade Runner
Total Recall
Screamers
Impostor
Minority Report
Paycheck
A Scanner Darkly

#6 - Surrogates, and #4 - Game, have their trailers being shown with...either ST or T4, can't remember which...and look pretty good.  I will be going to see those.
No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom.
Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.
The Centauri learned this lesson once.
We will teach it to them again.
Though it take a thousand years, we will be free.

The Box official site

Franklyn official (UK) site



Hunter Prey official site

Timecrimes official site

I only just noticed there is a subtle mention of a tenth movie in the Top 9 list. That movie is 9.
The official site is here.



...and in searching for the trailer for that, I realised the list misses what promises to be an excellent film, and certainly a major oversight in that list, District 9.


District 9 is based on the short film by Neill Blomkamp, Alive in Joburg.
Alive in Joburg is available on YouTube, or on the Stash 16 DVD.

There are multiple 'official' sites for District 9.

Imposter was very good and with very well-played twists.

To me, Franklyn looks to be a movie to see at the cinemas. That said, it's out on DVD and Blu-ray in the UK on June 22:

5030305512293 (Retail)

I have Timecrimes on DVD, and only watched it the other day. What I thought at first would be a predictable time travel yarn, actually turned into a more intelligent mind-bending drama. Very good IMO.
