Fringe Thursday 3-24-05: Oldboy and Layer Cake
I think I mentioned this movie in last December. It comes out tomorrow (Friday 3-25-05) in selected theaters in New York and Los Angles.
It's the story of a man who is captured and inprisoned for 15 years without reason. One day he is released with a wallet filled with cash and a mobile phone. While he eats in a Japanese restaurant, a strange man calls Dae-su and asks him to figure out why he was imprisoned. I'm not going to give anymore away after that.
Check out the trailer here.
Based upon the JJ Connelly's London crime novel, "LAYER CAKE" is about a successful cocaine dealer (layed by Daniel Craig) who has earned a respected place among England's Mafia elite and plans an early retirement from the business. Things get complicated when he's asked to do one last favor for the Big Boss.
Layer Cake is produced by the same people who brought us 1998's Lock Stock and Two Loaded Barrels and Snatch (2000). Matthew Vaughn is director on this one, frankly I think they should have tried to get Guy Ritchie. Vaughn is one to watch in the upcoming months, recently he has been recently tapped to direct the new X-Men movie.
Layer Cake is set for release May 13th, 2005. You can check out the trailer here.
