I know, I know, I’ve been lax in keeping up the ongoing FernGEEK Films articles. But this week’s been so huge with film news in the lead-up to the San Diego Comic Convention (Henceforth SDDC), I couldn’t help but bring some of the best stuff to you now.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Finest Hours<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

\"finesthoursposter_large\"<\/a>While it may look like Captain Kirk and Nero have gone back in time to battle the ocean, in something which smacks of A Perfect Storm 2: Storm Harder<\/em>, Chris Pine and Eric Bana lead a solid cast in a true-life adventure, The Finest Hours<\/em> (not to be confused with the recent Aussie apocalypse flick, These Final<\/span> Hours<\/em><\/a>), about a US Coast Guard rescue effort to save sailors from their sinking vessel way out off the coast. Oh, and there’s a storm. You can see the poster for the film to the left (Click to embiggenerize) and the trailer is embedded below. I’m not quite sure how it’ll go with a dual character narrative – those stuck at sea, those sent to rescue them – but The Finest Hours<\/em> is helmed by Fright Night<\/em> remake director Craig Gillespie (he also helmed Lars & The Real Girl<\/em>), and the trailer looks enthralling, if not altogether exciting.<\/p>\n

The film also stars Casey Affleck (Interstellar<\/em><\/a>), Ben Foster (Lone Survivor<\/a><\/em>), Josh Stewart, Graham McTavish (The Hobbit<\/a><\/em>), and Holliday Granger.<\/p>\n
