In this week for new teasers & trailers is The Book Thief (2013), which is based on the novel by Markus Zusak. The film takes place in Nazi Germany and narrated by death, follows Liesel Meminger's (Sophie Nélisse) relationship with her foster-parents and the children in the neighbourhood, as well as Max, (Ben Schnetzer) a Jewish fighter who hides out in their home during the war. The cast for this film looks pretty good (Geoffrey Rush playing Hans Hubermann, Emily Watson etc.) and as everyone knows the book was superb, so once again, high hopes for this one. Watch the trailer below and decide for yourself whether this will be another hit for the literary/cinematic cross-over universe:
Next up we have Pompeii (2014) starring Emily Browning, Kit Harington & Keifer Sutherland, set in Pompeii in the time leading up to the eruption of the volcano Mt. Vesuvius, focusing around a slave and the woman he loves along with a gladiator who is his best friend. It looks set to appeal to those looking for an epic adventure tale, however there have been so many of these sorts of movies circulating recently, so only time will tell whether this will live up to the intense nature of the trailer or not. I'm unsure of what to make of this one, but what do you think? Will it be worth the wait? Watch the teaser trailer below:
The trailer certainly makes the whole thing look somewhat appealing, but I'm sure audiences will be skeptical as to whether it can deliver a coherent plot line without over-doing it on the action and special effects.
