"Children of Men" Movie Preview

Clive Owen to the Rescue

From Rebecca Murray, About.com

Clive Owen and Julianne Moore star in "Children of Men."
In the dramatic thriller "Children of Men," humankind is facing the very real possibility of extinction. The world's youngest person drops dead at the age of 18 and because of a bizarre infertility defect, people can no longer reproduce. But there is one chance humankind can survive. A woman is discovered to be pregnant and it's up to a reluctant champion to face down those who threaten what could be humankind's last remaining hope.

The premise sounds interesting - I'll bite - and it doesn't hurt that "Children of Men" features a first-rate cast including Clive Owen, Michael Caine and Julianne Moore. The film also has a critically acclaimed filmmaker at its helm. Alfonso Cuaron ("Y Tu Mama Tambien," "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban") directed the movie and adapted P.D. James' novel with co-writers Timothy J. Sexton and David Arata.
