Gerald McMorrow's Franklyn, a kind of fantasy/sci-fi, head-trip drama starring Ryan Phillipe, Eva Green and Sam Riley (Control), will finally hit DVD and Blu-Ray in the states on 11.17.09 -- courtesy of Image.
Summary from IMDB: "The film is a split narrative set simultaneously in contemporary London and in a future metropolis ruled by religious fervor. It's the story of four lost souls, divided by two parallel worlds, on course for an explosive collision when a single bullet will decide all their fates."
Franklyn was never given a theatrical release in the U.S. It was released on 02.27.09 in the UK and will play at the Toronto After Dark Film Festival this August. Surely, it's a mess, but rarely does a film with this kind of cast, wackiness and all around intrigue go straight to DVD.
