I so DESPERATELY want to see this movie. It looks FUCKING AWESOME. Children of Men by Alfonso Cuaron, who was the director of Harry Potter and the Prisoner and more importantly Y Tu Mama Tambien. He is kickass. The movie looks kickass and it seems to be the highlight of my fall.
Premise: Set in a near future where the human race has lost its ability to reproduce (males have become sterile), England has descended into chaos, until a strict warden, Xan Lyppiatt, is brought in to institute martial law. That order is challenged however, when a woman discovers she's pregnant, with what would be the first child in 27 years, inspiring a group of revolutionaries. The story is centered around an Oxford history professor, Theodore Faron, who is her ex-lover (and Xan's cousin). Is he also the baby's father?
