A Four Letter Word theatrical Trailer

Last night in all my fun I managed to watch two movies, one I just received from Amazon marketplace, which I've seen already but wanted to own, it's totally funny and just silly. The second I borrowed from the library and the animation and story just blew me away, I usually expect animated movies of this caliber from Disney it's nice to see some other studios have their game face on and is bringing top line animation to the masses. So first movie is A Four letter word which is just a big gay mess, one of the bonuses is the song by singer Adam Joseph I recommend renting this movie or owning it for a guilty pleasure or to bone up on your pink cinema.

The Secret of Kells was nominated for an Oscar for best animated picture, I don't think it won but it should have, I don't know what it was up against but I'm biased, the story is a mixture of fantasy and Irish folklore, but the charm is in the Irish Brogue of the characters and the originality of the animation. I love this picture and may even buy it someday, Tomm Moore the creator of this has a new pic coming up called Song of the Sea, which I'll be sure to check out, from the trailer it looks like a story based on Selkie folklore but could be other Irish mythology just as well.

Wright to helm 'Mermaid' for Working Title of Hans Christian Anderson re-telling of classic tale

Wright to helm 'Mermaid' for Working Title
Abi Morgan adapts live-action version of fairytale
By LEO BARRACLOUGH

LONDON -- Working Title is developing a live-action pic of Hans Christian Andersen's fairytale "The Little Mermaid," with Joe Wright attached to helm.
The story, which has been adapted by Abi Morgan ("Brick Lane," "The Iron Lady"), was inspired by a production that The Little Angel Theater Company staged as part of their repertoire of children's tales using puppets.

The story, which centers on a young mermaid who gives up her life in the sea to gain the love of a prince, was first published in 1837 and has been adapted for the stage and screen numerous times.

This will be the first live-action feature film version to be made in the English language.

Wright previously worked with Working Title on his first three films, "Pride and Prejudice," "Atonement" and "The Soloist."

His most recent film, "Hanna," starring Saoirse Ronan, Cate Blanchett and Eric Bana, is in post-production.
