The Secret of Moonacre is an upcoming fantasy family movie adaptation of the novel The Little White Horse written by Elizabeth Goudge. The movie is directed by Hungarian-born director Gabor Csupo (who also directed Bridge to Terabithia). It is starring Dakota Blue Richards (the girl from Golden Compass), Ioan Gruffudd, Tim Curry respectively as Maria Merryweather, Sir Benjamin who is Maria’s uncle, and the villain Coeur De Noir.

The Secret of Moonacre is set to be released on February 6, 2009 in the UK. Unfortunately there is no official release date for the USA yet. But I bet a date will be announced soon: after all it does look good.

Here below the first official trailer of the Secret of Moonacre:

The Secret of Moonacre Trailer

Plot:
“When 13 year old Maria Merryweather’s father dies, leaving her orphaned and homeless, she is forced to leave her luxurious London life to go and live with Sir Benjamin, an eccentric uncle she didn’t know she had, at the mysterious Moonacre Manor. Soon Maria finds herself in a crumbling moonlit world torn apart by the hatred of an ancient feud with the dark and sinister De Noir family. Maria discovers that she is the last Moon Princess and, guided by an unlikely mix of allies, she must overcome her family’s pride in order to unearth the secrets of the past before the 5000th moon rises and Moonacre disappears into the sea forever.” (Source: Wikipedia)

Really hope it will get a wider release. I really like this kind of fantasy movie. Besides the whole family can enjoy it! The Secret of Moonacre is worth watching.

I think that with this trailer of Wendy and Lucy we have the trailer of the day! I never heard about this independent movie before, so I discovered it just a few minutes ago via the trailer. And what a great surprise! This is a movie about real life, about how a dire financial situation can break you down…

Michelle Williams (from “Brokeback Mountain”) is incredible in her role as Wendy the lead chracter of this road movie. Just watch this trailer of Wendy and Lucy, and make your own mind:

Wendy and Lucy

The plot:
“A woman’s life is derailed en route to a potentially lucrative summer job. When her car breaks down… ” (Source: IMDb)

Wendy and Lucy is directed by Kelly Reichardt based on a script by Kelly Reichardt and Jonathan Raymond. No official release date yet, let’s hope it will be picked up by a distribution company quite soon!

Vote wisely this November!

Update: a UK release date has been set for February 6, 2009
Hope it will have a US theatrical release too!
