Brick, Hitting UK Shores Soon

Brick UK PosterBrick is a supposedly this year's 'Donnie Darko'. What a crock of shit. I haven't seen the film yet, so I can't comment, I just hate marketing people trying to build hype by comparing a new film to a previous years 'indie' hit. That being said Brick has been a critical success in the states, and is set to come out in the UK on the 12th of May.

"High school student Brendan Frye prefers to stay an outsider, until the day that his ex-girlfriend, Emily, reaches out to him unexpectedly and then vanishes. Brendan's feelings for her still run deep and he becomes consumed with finding his troubled inamorata. To find her, Brendan enlists the aid of his only true peer, The Brain, while keeping the assistant vice principal only occasionally informed of what quickly becomes a dangerous investigation. Brendan's single-minded unearthing of students' secrets thrusts him headlong into the colliding social orbits of rich-girl sophisticate Laura, intimidating Tugger, substance-abusing Dode, seductive Kara, jock Brad, and - most ominously - non-student The Pin. It is only by gaining acceptance into The Pin's closely guarded inner circle of crime and punishment that Brendan will be able to uncover hard truths about himself, Emily, and the suspects that he is getting closer to."

The uk poster (shown above, source) is quite pretty, but the US Versions were also very nice (Although slightly derivative of Saul Bass's 'Bunny Lake is missing')
