Whoo Hoo! Finally, the trailer for Kurt Wimmer's Ultraviolet has hit the net exclusively on the Ugo site. In the lead role is Milla Jovovich who past credits included Resident Evil and The Fifth Element. It looks like Kurt has taken the concept of gun kata from Equilibrium and up the ante on this sci-fi action movie. The studio has afforded Kurt with a larger budget than his last project and it really shows that he put good use with it into the visual effects. As for the action scenes from the trailer, it looks pretty damn cool. Here is the synopsis taken from imdb:
Set in the late 21st century, a subculture of humans have emerged who have been modified genetically by a vampire-like disease (Hemophagia), giving them enhanced speed, incredible stamina and acute intelligence, and as they are set apart from "normal" and "healthy" humans, the world is pushed to the brink of worldwide civil war (a war between humans and hemophages) aimed at the destruction of the "diseased" population. In the middle of this crossed-fire is - an infected woman - Ultraviolet (Jovovich), who finds herself protecting a nine-year-old boy who has been marked for death by the human government as he is believed to be a threat to humans.
Sony and Screen Gems will release this movie threatically on February 24. I'm counting the days till this movie is out.
*drool* it just looks so pretty!
try loading it in Internet Explorer if you use Firefox. That worked for me. Shoddy UGO site....grumble
and the movie looks like fun. Pretty much Equilibrium with a bigger budget. we'll see how it plays out...
who sings the song at the end of the trailer, the song with the female voice?
I don't know, I CAN'T SEE IT! :(
This is the direct link to the file, try copying and pasting into your browser or a download manager.
The female voice is Jem. the song is "24".
Try the hotlink now, bee ... it was a long URL, scrolling off the edge of the page ... it worked fine for me like this ...
Oh, and congrats ... we'll be making the announcement once Nat's got everything firm ...
Eventually the trailer will be up at the official site. I assuming atleast in two weeks if they will attach the trailer with Underworld 2 when it opens.
Well...that looks awesome.
"My name is Violet, I am a Bounty Hunter"
Ok, I'm kidding. But it looks like Wimmer is still watching The Wachowski Brothers, with a lot of Kill Bill/Beatrix thrown in for good measure.
Equilibrium got by a large part on the Charm of Christian Bale, (and to a lesser extent, Sean Bean and Emily Watson)...Dunno if Ms. Jovovich is up to the task, but you'll still find me at the cinema on opening day...I do like this kind of eye candy.
Wow, it took me all day to finally get a computer that would play this damnable UGO-hosted trailer.
I don't know, folks. It looks like this film could make up for Aeon Flux and both those Resident Evil flicks combined.
Kurt Wimmer, I'm glad you're back to surprise us again...
ooo pretty trailer. i love the visual style. it's kind of retro-70s futuristic.
heh, kurt, that's what i was thinking too, about the opening monologue. actually it also reminds me of the opening narration of resident evil apocalypse, especially with the lab scientists and virus-gone-wrong...
still, i'll likely see it. and milla is soooo beautiful...
and, oh yeah, i'm so in love
you have my guns...
Looks: 10/10, This film looks absolutely stunning... a live action Ghost in the Shell.
As for the quoted Dialogue: Erm.... 6/10 and I'm flattering it here. It's just total cheese, Arnie can get away with those lines, but not Milla... but it still might work in a good way. And hot damn, it looks real purdy.
When's it out in Canada?
Actually, the "My name is Violet" thing made me have flashbacks of RESIDENT EVIL: APOCALYPSE and its "My name is Alice" especially because both were with Milla's voice. Does she have to introduce her character by name in every trailer?
I loved Equilibrium.
I can't wait to see this. :)
The trailer is no longer at the site, does anyone have a rip of it yet?
i love milla, she's so versatile!
Does anyone have an alternate link to the trailer, possibly a zip...anything?
this movie looks awesome but why UGO is the only one with the trailer for it is beyond me.
Uploaded the Windows Media version of the trailer to Rapidshare. Enjoy!
