Synopsis: Two young people journey through the dreamlike worlds of Cirque du Soleil to find each other.
Release Date: December 21, 2012
Thoughts: It seems that Cirque du Soleil is absolutely everywhere today. With sit-down shows in major cities and several satellite troupes out on tour, the exposure of the Canadian circus group is as high as it has ever been. The company will get another jolt of attention when they release their collaboration with James Cameron and director Andrew Adamson (The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe) for this 3D fantasy poised to lure families who might not be able to shell out the hefty dough to see a Cirque show live. The trailer is visually stunning (of course) but it does leave me wondering what exactly the audience is in for and how the thrill of live performance will be captured on film. Considering the talent of all involved, I’m not too worried.
Thought that poster looked familiar: http://joethemnmovieman.wordpress.com/2012/12/10/the-silver-bullet-cirque-du-soleil-worlds-away/
Damnit! Here: http://images.moviepostershop.com/a-midsummer-nights-dream-movie-poster-1996-1020197392.jpg
That’s exactly what I thought the first time I saw it, too! I’ve never seen this version of Midsummer but the poster instantly came to mind when I saw the Cirque one.
I’ve never seen it either, but I know that DVD cover very well.
