“AMERICAN GODS” DEBUTS NEW TRAILER!

“American Gods” posits a different kind of war brewing—one between Old Gods and New.  The traditional Old Gods, with mythological roots from around the world, fear irrelevance as their believers die off or are seduced by the money, technology, and celebrity offered by the New Gods. Shadow Moon (Ricky Whittle) is an ex-con who, left adrift by the recent death of his wife, becomes bodyguard and traveling partner to conman Mr. Wednesday (Ian McShane). But in truth, Mr. Wednesday is a powerful old deity, on a cross-country mission to build an army and reclaim his lost glory.

 

American Gods premieres  April 30th on the Starz network.

Usually male, he’s a timeless archetype in American culture, but the best way to understand his journey for purpose is through film. Westerns (John Wayne’s “Rooster Cogburn”), wilderness epics (Robert Redford’s “Jeremiah Johnson”), and psychodramas (Edward Norton’s narrator in Fight Club) elevate this figure to mythic proportions. But Drifter, directed by Chris von Hoffmann, avoids falling cliche and gives audiences a fresh perspective on a classic narrative.

Every so often in Hollywood, film makers throw at us a movie that looks like one that young children would enjoy, but contain themes that are way beyond their years.     In 2009, the long awaited adaptation of Maurice Sendak’s children’s book “Where the Wild Things Are” finally came to cinemas.  Many were expecting a movie about the adventures of a boy and a few oversized monsters.   What they got was a deep and meaningful piece of art about the emotions that Max, the human main character of the story, goes through and how he must deal with these extreme feelings.  Yeah, this definitely sounds like something a six year old would eat up.  Sarcasm aside, even though the movie was lauded by critics, it left many children and parents, wanting to find a movie to keep their kids occupied for two hours, cold to what was done to the beloved children’s novel.
