Mutants Unleashed in France: News, Trailer, and Synopsis



French film "Mutants," will see a European release date this May 6, 2009; however, those of us in North America will have to wait for English sub-titles, to placed into the film, before a release date can be expected. Already a teaser and full trailer are available and initial fan reaction is positive. Yet, rumours are circulating that "Mutants," is not as breathtaking as the film appears, from early screenings. Have a look at the first full trailer below and when additional release dates are available they will be posted here.

Sonia, who is expecting a baby, is then forced to fight her worst enemy, the man she loves (24frames..).

See, I never trust trailers like this one because I know how easy it is to make a terrible movie look good with flickering images, audio cues, effects and flashes of action. I'll check it out still though I suppose.

I would rather see this one than the upcoming American remake of "Martyrs."

Hello Zac,

I got your newsletter today and your writing is excellent. I think you need to look into writing as a future career. Nice review on "Doomsday," I thought Rhona Mitra was good in that film as well. I will show my friend your newsletter tomorrow.

And I know you have heard of the "Let the Right One In," American remake, right?

Thank you for your kind words but I think my writing is amateur at best. Anyway, did you like your stand!? I think they're quite cool myself.

Anyway, I think they're going to keep remaking films now. There are seemingly no original ideas in Hollywood, independant film is where it's at.
