Describing a post-apocalyptic future must be trendy: there is a a new independent movie titled White Wall that’s presenting a bleak world in which almost all of Mankind seems to have been wiped out by some mysterious virus following a war. The movie White Wall is directed by James Boss.
Upon seeing the director listed in the cast of his own movie I started to think it was but a low budget sci-fi movie. Fortunately I went to the official site and I must admit that I am now caught in the universe of White Wall. I strongly recommend to visit the official site of White Wall (here).
To convince you, just have a look to this first official teaser trailer of White Wall:
Plot:
“A virus has decimated humanity and left the world in squalor and full of violence. Shawn Kors world is confined to a large white wall and he looks for a way out and a cure to the virus, VXII, until he gets close to the truth.
Set in a wasteland enclosed by a large white wall, the last survivor from a brutal child internment camp reluctantly takes on one final bounty hunting job to protect the idyllic life he has rebuilt.”
Here below two stills from the movie (via Quiet Earth):
The movie looks like an artistic take on a potential post-apocalyptic future. Director James Boss shows a real creativity. If the acting is good enough to translate the universe we have a glimpse of on the official site, White Wall could become a cult movie or at least, be a stepping stone for James Boss’ career as film director.
The movie should be released in 2009. No official date yet though, not even sure it will have a theatrical release, but would be great to see this in a theater.

Looks like we have a hardcore sci fi thriller movie ahead with Moon. The film is directed by Duncan Jones and is starring Sam Rockwell with Kevin Spacey lending his voice to some AI robot. The movie Moon should be released in 2009.
Thanks to Bloody Disgusting (here) we have some pictures of the movie Moon with Sam Rockwell:

Plot:
“Astronaut Sam Bell has a quintessentially personal encounter while stranded on the moon for a three-year period.” (Source: IMDb)
It looks dark like the hard core sci-fi movies from the 1970’s and the 1980’s: watching this sci-fi movie will be like going back to my childhood besides going to the Moon!

RACE TO WITCH MOUNTAIN
Plot:
“A UFO expert enlists the help of a cab driver (Dwayne Johnson The Rock) to protect two siblings (AnnaSophia Robb and Alexander Ludwig) with paranormal powers from the clutches of Ciaran Hinds and his organization who want to use the kids for their nefarious plans.” (Source: IMDb)
An interesting sci-fi movie, even if Dwayne Johnson is quite unlikely in the role of a taxi driver turned nanny…
