Still have no idea what Gerald McMorrow’s “Franklyn” is really about? Don’t worry, you’re not the only one. The whole Preest/masked vigilante plot in a future London makes it sound like something along the lines of “V For Vendetta”, but then there’s a whole other angle set in contemporary London, and involves a jilted groom, a suicidal artist, and a priest in search of his missing son. Very confusing. The only thing I can be sure of is that it should look really, really good. And on a budget, no less.

Sci-Fi Trailer: Franklyn
“Franklyn” looks like a cross between “Watchmen” and “V for Vendetta”. Coincidentally (or is it?) both movies are works of fiction by the increasingly nutso Alan Moore. Then again, you wouldn’t have to know the name Alan Moore if you’ve seen trailers for “Watchmen” and seen the actual movie version of “V for Vendetta”, as that’s exactly what “Franklyn” looks like. The fantasy scenarios set in Meanwhile City, anyway. The rest of the film looks more like a drama.
