Here is another upcoming film with great potential, Children of Men, the new film by director Alfonso Cuarón, who directed the audacious, sexy, and yet endearing Y Tu Mama Tambien, the stylish Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban, and not so well-known but nonetheless remarkable Great Expectations and The Little Princess.

Children of Men is adapted from the P.D. James novel of the same name. In a dystopian society in a not too far distant 2027, man’s hope wanes and chaos rules because humanity can no longer procreate and science cannot find the reason or a cure. Then Theodore Faron, a former activist turned bureaucrat, is abducted and agrees to work with his captives to transport a pregnant woman to the sea where a boat awaits her to take her to a safe shelter. The fate of the world lays in this journey to save this woman and the unborn child.

Children of Men stars Clive Owen, Michael Caine, and Julianne Moore.
