Paul W.S. Anderson is the man responsible for guilty pleasure action flicks such as RESIDENT EVIL, DEATH RACE and THE THREE MUSKETEERS, and with those popcorn productions have come a fair amount of critics. Although his directorial efforts thus far have hardly been groundbreaking masterpieces, they have all been thoroughly enjoyable and entertaining.
The same looks to be the case for Anderson’s next film, which is of course the upcoming disaster epic POMPEII. Loosely based on the true story of the infamous volcano’s destructive eruption. At the beginning of the month a brand new trailer for the film was revealed, and now TriStar Pictures have also released the first poster for POMPEII ahead of its February debut .
It seems the only thing wrong with this film is that Anderson’s stunning wife Milla Jovovich is nowhere to be seen, which is unusual given his affinity for collaborating with her after three RESIDENT EVIL films and THE THREE MUSKETEERS. Speaking of which, I wonder if I am the only one who cares what has happened to the upcoming sixth (and final?) installment in the RESIDENT EVIL franchise that Sony has reportedly set for a September 2014 release date?
POMPEII stars Kit Harington, Emily Browning, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Jessica Lucas, Jared Harris and Kiefer Sutherland. The film will be released worldwide on 21st February 2014 , check back with The Hollywood News for more updates.
