"The Silence" Official Trailer

The Silence begins 23 years ago on a hot summer day, when a young girl named Pia is brutally murdered in a field of wheat.  Now, on the exact same date in the present, 13-year-old Sinikka is missing, her bicycle abandoned in the same spot.  As Krischan, the retired investigator of the unresolved case, and his younger colleague David struggle to solve the mystery of these parallel crimes, Sinikka’s distraught parents are trapped in an agonizing period of waiting and uncertainty.  Meanwhile, their daughter’s fate rips open old wounds in the heart of Pia’s mother, who is visited by an unexpected guest with an eerie connection to her daughter.  The unrelenting summer heat lies over the quaint family homes like a bell jar and behind closed doors, worlds begin to fall apart.

In his strikingly commanding debut feature The Silence, Swiss-born Baran bo Odar adapts Jan Costin Wagner’s bestselling novel with his own unmistakable signature. Mesmerizing performances by top European actors - headed by Ulrich Thomsen (The Celebration, Brothers), Sebastian Blomberg (The Baader Meinhof Complex), Katrin Sass (Good Bye, Lenin!) and Burghart Klaussner (The White Ribbon, The Edukators) - enrich this intense drama far beyond the crime genre.

Superman & Zod Share A Moment In Smallville

When Man Of Steel was shooting in Illinois we were treated with many an on set photo. Superman punching the air, Zod wearing a cloak and looking surprised, and other such mundane glimpses of the Smallville set. The average person wouldn't care about that for even a moment, but to a film fanatic, it's like Christmas morning.

Another shot has just surfaced online within the depths of the SuperHeroHype Forums, courtesy of poster EtherMagic. The photo of Henry Cavill and Michael Shannon enjoying a respite from filming is one of the best on set shots I've seen. Looks they aren't going to be buying refreshments at the 7/11 though.
