Not sure if this is all very sci-fi, but endy posted a poster for it earlier, so here’s the trailer to follow-up. The film stars Paul Giamatti as, er, Paul Giamatti. Seems to have a very “Being John Malkovich” vibe to it, and with Giamatti fronting the picture, how could you possible go wrong? Trailer for Sophie Barthes’ “Cold Souls” below.
Is your soul weighing you down? Paul Giamatti has found a solution! In the surreal comedy COLD SOULS, Paul Giamatti plays an actor named… Paul Giamatti. Stumbling upon an article in The New Yorker about a high-tech company that extracts, deep-freezes and stores people’s souls, Paul very well might have found the key to happiness for which he’s been searching. But, complications arise when he is the unfortunate victim of “soul-trafficking.” Giamatti’s journey takes him all the way to Russia in hopes of retrieving his stolen soul from an ambitious but talentless soap-opera actress. Balancing a tightrope between deadpan humor & pathos, and reality & fantasy, COLD SOULS is a true soul searching comedy.
Starring Paul Giamatti, David Strathairn, Dina Korzun, Katheryn Winnick, Lauren Ambrose, Emily Watson, and directed by Sophie Barthes.
