Three Character Poster For Never Let Me Go – Starring Carey Mulligan, Andrew Garfield & Keira Knightley
Aug 25th
Three striking character posters have been released by Fox Searchlight for Mark Romanek’s highly anticipated film Never Let Me Go. I’ve been looking forward to this film for a good moment or two now, it looks fascinating. Every piece of marketing is just building up even more excitement for me. The movie is based on Kauzo Ishiguro’s much acclaimed novel of the same name – as you can see written confidently on the posters ‘Based on: The best novel of the decade – Time’. They’re some bold word, I hope this lives up to the hype, it looks like it could be one of the most tender, brooding and all around fantastic movies of the year.
Never Let Me Go is a poignant love story, adapted from Kazuo Ishiguro’s bestselling, Booker Prize short listed novel of the same name. As children, Ruth (Keira Knightley), Kathy (Carey Mulligan) and Tommy (Andrew Garfield), spend their childhood at a seemingly idyllic English boarding school. As they grow into young adults, they find that they have to come to terms with the strength of the love they feel for each other, while preparing themselves for the haunting reality that awaits them. Never Let Me Go comes to theaters October 1st, 2010 and stars Carey Mulligan, Keira Knightley, Sally Hawkins, Andrew Garfield, Charlotte Rampling, Domhnall Gleeson, Charlie Rowe, Andrea Riseborough. The film is directed by Mark Romanek.

Aug 6th
The 54th BFI London Film Festival in partnership with American Express, have just announced that this year’s Festival will open on Wednesday 13 October with the European premiere of NEVER LET ME GO, directed by Mark Romanek (One Hour Photo), the film is based on Kauzo Ishiguro’s much acclaimed novel of the same name and is Romanek’s first film since 2002’s One Hour Photo – he was set to direct The Wolfman but left due to creative differences. I think this is a great film to open the festival with, from the trailer this film looks, tender, brooding and all around fantastic, a terrific way to kick off what I’m sure will be a terrific festival. The stars of the film are expected to attend the opening night screening, including Oscar® nominee Keira Knightley (Pride & Prejudice, Atonement), BAFTA winner and Oscar® nominee Carey Mulligan (An Education) and BAFTA TV award winner Andrew Garfield (Boy A, Red Riding).
Sandra Hebron, the Festival’s Artistic Director comments: “’It is a great pleasure to be able to open the festival with a film as accomplished and imaginative as NEVER LET ME GO. It combines impeccable film making, outstanding performances and a deeply moving story, and I couldn’t wish for a stronger or more appropriate opening night.”
Director Mark Romanek adds: “I think I can speak for the entire cast and crew when I say that we are deeply honored and excited to have been selected to open this year’s festival. For me personally, it seems the perfect way to celebrate the conclusion of an incredible filmmaking experience in the UK.”
The full programme for The 54th BFI London Film Festival will be announced at the Press Launch on Wednesday 8 September. I’ll be in attendance throughout the festival, expect to see a gazillion interviews, reviews and random bits and bobs throughout October!
