Read Between the Parallel Lines
Firstly I would like to offer my apologies to the readers of allonethought (there are literally tens of you out there), it has been a bit quiet on here for a while, I would love to say its because I’ve been getting some much needed rest but that would be a massive lie… anyways…
After the unprecedented success of Carousel last year, Philips have teamed up with Ridley Scott Associates to create the next wave of cinematic innovation. Parallel Lines is the brilliant concept set by Philips which, until recently, was shrouded in mystery and intrigue.
All they let on initially was the directors involved and little hints of what was in store. With names like Jake Scott, Greg Fay, Carl Erik Rinsch, Hi-Sim and old tutor of mine Johnny Hardstaff, fans were left salivating like a pavlovian dog spying a pavlova. Writing on the 25th February Hardstaff commented:
“As you already know, all five films are linked, but I cannot say how just yet. What I can tell you about my film is that it’s a thriller. That is a future film noir in a sense, and that there’s a dark secret at its core.”
In the last 12 days Philips have leaked that the release date is 8th April and, more importantly, that the films are linked by all having an identical script. Each director was given said script and allowed to give it there own unique treatment, resulting in 5 hopefully brilliantly diverse films. Below is a still from Hardstaffs thriller ‘DarkRoom’, plus the latest trailer for all you greedy beasts.
