Ian C Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 Highly recommended from me Grim and gritty, a real good look at the way Britain/the world is going with the current state of affairs massively exacerbated by women becoming infertile suddenly and irreversibly across the world. Tony Blair would be proud of the police state and illegal immigrant camps. Good bit of hard scifi and a view on how society would fall down, and also the best representation of urban combat I've ever seen - it's not sexy or fun, just nasty and grim. -Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 It does sound good, is it an original screen play or based on a book do you know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 Clive Owen is pretty good to be fair Started out doing the short films for BMW (He may have done other work, but agrguably the BMW films are where he made a big impact) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 Started out doing the short films for BMW (He may have done other work, but agrguably the BMW films are where he made a big impact) I remember him from Privateer on the PC.

RobSheffield Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 Erm,i dont know It had a Z4 in it, and he had to driv along as a helicopter shot at him, there was also a dialogue from some chap The premise for them was that 5 directors were given a budget and soem of a particular model of car, and to have Clive drive them. The M5 one had Madonna in it, and another good one was about a wartime cameraman Anyway, sorry, back to topic, Children of men looks really good,its on my 'to see' list for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terribleturner Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 Thought this looked good, think i'll definatly give it a go now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted September 21, 2006 Author Share Posted September 21, 2006 It's an original story as far as I know. Clive was in Chancer and Sharman before he hit it big in adverts And Privateer II - The Darkening, mmm, Mathilda May..... -Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Rob, I've got the BMW Films DVD if you want a copy? No idea where it is at the moment though, most stuff is still in boxes from the house move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Walker Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 The BMW films were wicked. Loved the one in the M5 with Madonna. I'd love a copy of the DVD if your offering Thorin as I too lost all of them except the M5 one a while back. Gaz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Dunno if it would fit on a standard 4.5GB doing a straight copy but I'll find it out and have a go. If anyone wants a copy PM me your address. If there ends up being like 20 people wanting it though I'm gonna have to charge you costs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conrad Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Children Of Men is based on a novel by PD James. I'm really looking forward to seeing it, how have you seen this already btw Ian? I really like Clive Owen, thought he was shit in King Arthur and Sin City but a must see in Closer! Anyone who hasn't seen the trailer go check it out at http://www.empireonline.com/futurefilms/film.asp?id=11091 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted September 21, 2006 Author Share Posted September 21, 2006 A friend of mine gets random free preview tickets, and I'd already suggested going and seeing this with her, by coincidence she got two free tickets for last night Clive was great in Sin City -Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
