http://www-deadline-com.vimg.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/mcavoy-trance__130103103544.jpgPathé and 20th Century Fox have set a March 27 UK debut for Danny Boyle‘s Trance, the director’s first feature since 2010′s 127 Hours. Boyle, who most recently masterminded the London Olympics Opening Ceremony, said today: “After a mad summer with London 2012, it’s great to get back to the day job; treachery and intrigue on the screen rather than behind-the-scenes!” The psychological thriller stars James McAvoy, Vincent Cassel and Rosario Dawson and follows a fine art auctioneer mixed up with a criminal gang who joins forces with a hypnotherapist to recover a lost painting. John Hodge (Trainspotting, Shallow Grave) wrote the screenplay. Slumdog Millionaire‘s Christian Colson is producer. Pathé has UK and French rights and Fox has the rest of the world on the Pathé, Fox Searchlight, Film4 presentation of a Cloud Eight/Decibel Films production. A U.S. release has not been set

Looks good!! And I'll say it again; Nice to see Rosario Dawson in a (potentially) good movie again.

 

[EML420]

I liked the trailer alot so I will see it and I never realized that Dawson had so many supporters I keep reading comments and what about it being nice seeing her in a potenitaly good movie lol.

 

[DarkSovereignty]

I love me some Rosario Dawson and I love me some Danny Boyle films so I'll be there.

Review: Danny Boyle's 'Trance' Is A Trippy, Twisty, Terrific Thriller

Looking forward to it. A very diverse director.

A trippy variation on the dream-within-a-dream movie, Danny Boyle’s return-to-form crimer constantly challenges what auds think they know.

I'm looking forward to this. I went to see James McAvoy's other film that's just come out, Welcome To The Punch and that was really good as well.

A surprise hit for me. Absolutely engaging and entertaining with a lot to think about. In fact, I'm still thinking about it. Solid performances, great direction and a smart story along with great music make this a film I am happy that I went and saw. Though the occasional tonal shift can be quite jarring sometimes.

4/5

This was definitely a solid and well crafted movie. Whatever problems people may have with the film, I don't think anyone can ever accuse it of being boring or failing to engage.
The film is definitely a thrill filled with enough twists to tie it in a not. Almost every scene places what came before in a new context, and not just the earlier plot points, but basically everything you know about each character. As the Caped Crusader said, the tone shifts can be quite jarring at times but that's not really a criticism. The film benefits from a topsy turvey feeling. I know a lot of people personally who will never be able to level with this film largely because every character is a fairly terrible person in their own way, but weirdly due to the films various twists and contexts, I never felt all of the characters to be off putting at once, if that makes any sense.

I feel that all of the performances were very good in this film and all the actors handled the tone and character shifts quite deftly. Vincent Cassel is great in this and it was nice to see Rosario Daweson in a better role than she has sometimes had the past few years.

This film is very well shot and the set design allows for some very creative lighting that at times reminded me of the Shanghai sequences from Skyfall. Apparently apartments in the UK, at least those belonging to wealthy art thieves are awesome.

While the film did not feature the amount of surreal imagery that I might have hoped, that is definitely a frightening and memorable element of this film. There is no denying that this film comes from the same director who gave us the toilet sequence from Trainspotting.

There's also several bits of fighting and action that I think are very well done. There is one shot in particular that made me actually yell out and cringe more than anything to be found in this year's Evil Dead (and no, its not the shot from the Redband).

I can definitely recommend seeing the film as it is an entertaining time at the movies. 3/5

Side note, the score from Rick Smith is awesome. Very listenable in its own right but perfectly fitting for this film.

http://badassdigest.com/2013/04/10/trance-review/ This is a well written review that while more negative towards the film than my opinion, I believe makes many solid points about some of the issues that can be found with film.

 

[The Jester]

This was the most orange and blue movie I've ever seen. Totally enjoyed it though.

Nut shot?

Agreed. Can always count on Boyle to have fantastic music paired with his film. Though while I liked 127 Hours and Slumdog Millionaire's soundtracks, I'm glad this brought it back to Sunshine and 28 Days Later territory.

I like this. Had Danny Boyle's usual visual flair.

I liked that Boyle filmed parts of London that aren't the usual iconography. Its becoming increasingly noticeable how different London looks when filmed by a British directors or in lower budget movies and Hollywood directed films. Hollywood directors often seem to include shots of Big Ben, Buckingham Palace and Tower Bridge. Native directors film Canary Wharf, East London and the square mile.

I like James McAvoy alot but when he tries to play damaged tough guys I don't find him very convincing. Try as he might playing pill popping shady cops in films like Filth and Welcome To The Punch he still comes across as Mr Tumnus from Narnia playing tough.

I liked the twists in the movie. Some reviewers compared this to inception but I think they are nothing.

Rosario Dawson was great. First movie I've seen of hers in which I really liked her performance.

Vincent Cassel is good as always. Tuppence Middleton is ok in her small role as well.

I always see McAvoy as Steve from Shamless.....t:

 

[Tequilla]

A fun , well shot (even though the teal and orange becomes sorta annoying) , entertaining movie. Cool soundtrack. Does it make a lick of sense ? I have no idea. I just followed the ride. The film is a little bit too frantic to leave any other impression than an hour and a half well spent.

Rosario Dawson...yes. Danny Boyle spreading the goods. What a ****ing gentleman !

Also Mcavoy is one of the few actors who knows how to scream in a movie. He's always very convincing shouting t: He's quite an actor. He has a sort of charm and charisma hard to replicate.

I can't believe it took me this long to see this. It was fantastic! I loved how even though I knew there's more to it right from the start, I didn't see the "twist" until it was revealed. Great performances all around and it's refreshing to see a huge female role like Elizabeth's. Loved this a lot.
