One of the more interesting movies I was looking forward to this fall was MirrorMask. Written by Neil Gaiman (yeah, that Neil Gaiman!!) and Dave McKean (who also directs) the film tells the story of Helena a fifteen year-old girl who is raised in the circus and desperately wants to escape to the real world. Helena becomes trapped in a strange dream world and she must find the MirrorMask to help the White Witch and find her way home. The movie was released in New York on September 30, and in the strictest sense of “limited release” it seems it will not be shown elsewhere. Sony announced plans to release the DVD on February 7, 2006 instead. Great, after subjecting myself to the horror that is The Chronicles of Narnia (check back tomorrow for my scathing review) now I don’t get to see what talented people can do with similar subject matter! I can only assume that Sony was scared off the the pre-hype that Narnia has been getting and didn’t want to go head-to-head for the same audience. *Sigh*
For those of you interested check out the movie’s trailer here and let us know what you think. And if by chance anyone out there has seen this and would care send us a review we’d be eternally grateful (for at least 15 seconds).
