The Darkest Hour 3D

Tweet

The DARKEST HOUR is the story of five young people who find themselves stranded in Moscow, lead the charge against an alien race who have attacked Earth via our power supply, fights to survive in the wake of a devastating alien attack. The 3D thriller highlights the classic beauty of Moscow alongside mind-blowing special effects.

This is the beginning of an invasion of aliens from outer space, intent on plundering the earth for its mineral deposits. There are some genuinely frightening scenes at the beginning, where a Moscow bridge and the city’s ancient, majestic buildings crumble into the ground, and people snared in the electric tentacles of what looks like floating fairy floss are reduced to ashes.

Sean  (Emile Hirsch) and Ben (Max Minghella), board a plane for Moscow where they discover that their software has been stolen by Styler (Joel Kinnaman), a shonky Swedish middleman purporting to be their Russian contact.

The two men console themselves in one of Moscow’s nightclubs, and are just getting to know two young women on holiday, Natalie , Olivia Thirlby and Anne . Rachel Taylor, when the city is plunged into darkness by a power blackout, and eerily beautiful electric ‘jellyfishes’ start falling from the sky.

The 3D thriller highlights the classic beauty of Moscow alongside mind-blowing special effects from the minds of visionary filmmaker Timur Bekmambetov  (who created the nonsensical but stylistically imaginative supernatural epics Night Watch and Day Watch), who produces the film and director Chris Gorak (“Right At Your Door”). “The 3D helps to create these epic stages for an intimate story. The core is the relationship between people, that’s a dramatic spine of the movie, what makes the movie emotional,” says Bekmambetov.

The Darkest Hour 3D opens in theaters nationwide on January 25 from 20th Century Fox to be distributed by Warner Bros.

Starring: Emile Hirsch, Olivia Thirlby, Rachael Taylor, Max Minghella, Joel Kinnaman.

Floyd Mayweather makes a personal phone call to Manny Pacquiao

Tweet

Floyd Mayweather made a personal call to Manny Pacquiao in the Philippines Wednesday night and discuss a possible megafight next May. 

 

Mayweather adviser Leonard Ellerbe confirmed the call to ESPN while Pacquiao promoter Bob Arum did the same to BoxingScene.com and Pacquiao himself talked with ABS-CBN network about the short conversation.

Reports said that the two men have agreed on one thing if they were to ever meet in the most anticipated fight of this generation – that the purse would be split 50-50.

 

Arum said a more ideal date is May 26 or June 9. He referred to the Pacquiao vs. Mayweather bout as the “Super Bowl” of boxing and therefore, should be treated as such.

“Our idea in doing this Mayweather-Pacquaio fight is that it’s the Super Bowl of boxing , it’s a memorable event, not just another fight,” Arum said.

Pacquiao, 54-3 with two draws and 32 knockouts, has won his past 15 fights over a span of nearly seven years while Mayweather, 42-0 with 26 knockouts, must serve a 90-day jail sentence starting June 1 after a domestic violence conviction.

Mayweather has spoken with Pacquiao adviser Michael Koncz several times in recent weeks, according to all reports.

In case a deal with Mayweather doesn’t go through again (the two sides have failed to negotiate twice before), Arum has already a chosen another fighter for Pacquiao.

Arum did not disclose the name of that fighter to the Times and to Sports Illustrated, but said that he will be among these four: World Boxing Council light welterweight champion Timothy Bradley, World Boxing Association light welterweight champion Lamont Peterson, or a rematch against super-welterweight champion Miguel Cotto; or a fourth fight with Mexican Juan Miguel Marquez.
