Legendary director Terrence Malick’s latest film, The Tree Of Life, gets a poster and trailer, and you can see both right here...
Terrence Malick is almost as famous for the paucity of his output as he is for his actual films, but there's no denying that, when he does finally finish editing, honing and crafting a movie, the result is always fascinating.
1973's Badlands still remains my favourite Malick movie (and features one of Martin Sheen's very best performances as oily, leather-clad spree killer, Kit), but The Thin Red Line was a visually stunning meditation on the subject of war, and The New World had moments of brilliance, despite its middling reviews.
For a director who, until five years ago, had only directed four feature films in the space of a quarter century, Malick has become unusually prolific of late. With his current picture, The Tree Of Life, due out next year, his next, top secret movie is already in post-production, and scheduled for release in 2012.
The Tree Of Life, meanwhile, looks like a continuation of the poetic, elemental style for which Malick is famous. Starring Brad Pitt as a stiff-jawed, authoritarian father and Sean Penn as his disillusioned grown son, Jack, the trailer below is full of sumptuous imagery, some of which looks remarkably like the 70s sci-fi classic, Solaris.
The Tree Of Life is due out on the 27 May in the US, with a UK release yet to appear.
