City Of Ember: Fritz Lang's Metropolis 2.0 For The Whole Family

City of Ember trailer, you guys:

Finally, a City of Lost Children for actual children. I think it is high time that young people be instilled with a deep, unrelenting fear of a dank Apocalyptic underworld future. Just kidding, I don't care about young people one way or the other. But with the exception of what appears to be the requisite kids-movie-unconventional-waterslide scene, this looks great. What is with that? Will we ever evolve as a culture to the point where our children do not need an unconventional waterslide scene in every movie to enjoy it? I blame the parents.

Bill Murray? I guess Wes Anderson wasn't using him for anything.

The trailer looks awesome! I cannot wait for this movie to come out on October 10th!
I love that the trailer’s scenery seems to match the dark and ominous imagery of the book, and with the threat of apocalypse just ahead this movie will be sure to keep anyone on the edge of their seat! Plus the combination of Tom Hanks Media and Walden Media is pretty unbeatable whatever they release I’m sure will be amazing!

My name is Blair and I am an official ambassador for City of Ember and I have access to first-look pics of the movie not seen in the trailer, which I would be more than happy to share with you.

I hope I’m not over stepping any bounds by posting on your blog.
Hope to speak with you soon.

Best,
Blair Landon
Official Ambassador

The Hunt For The Worst Movie Of All Time: Round Two Late Additions
