Direct Download Link For Youth Without Youth Trailer

Francis Ford Coppola's next, Youth Without Youth with Tim Roth, now has a trailer. This first version comes with an IGN badge, unfortunately.

Tim Roth Is An Abomination

The odd casting continues: after Edward Norton as Bruce Banner and Liv Tyler as Betty Ross, Tim Roth has now been cast as Emil Blonsky in the next Hulk film.

Blonsky's alter-ego is Abomination, a kind of bigger, badder Hulk that never gets to change back to his milder, meeker form (the dynamic isn't entirely unlike that between Spider-Man and Venom). In the comics, he was a KGB agent but I'm expecting that has been changed... anybody out there got a Hulk script I can fact check this against?

Youth Without Youth And The Temple Of Doom

UA are bidding for Francis Frod Copolla's Youth Without Youth - yet another shrewd move on Cruise/Wagner's part. This will win them kudos and, as the film only had a $5 million budget, they would have got it cheap.

According to one exec who saw the film, it was like "an arty Raiders of the Lost Ark" - but if that doesn't sound bad enough, check out Variety's plot summary:

...a 70-year-old who is struck by lightning and suddenly gets younger and more brilliant. His quest: to understand the origin of language and consciousness. By movie's end, he and the love of his life... are literally speaking in tongues.

Tim Roth is playing the 70-year old man, at least when 'younger and more brilliant'; Alexandra Maria Lara the love of his life.
