One can only ever miss the noise when he has been thrown in silence for too long. This, right now, seems to be the silent phase etching out. The trailer of Rush was intriguing but there has been nothing much apart from that happening recently in the world of Hollywood news. It is a silence I am trying to enjoy, though my craving for some big and breaking story is deepening. The week could very well turn out to be a memorable one if Oblivion, which is releasing this weekend, makes the most of the high-profile cast of Tom Cruise and Morgan Freeman that it carries. The trailers looked good, the story is a bit common though may have more mystery in it, but what the final product will deliver, only time will tell.
Apart from that Andrew Webb and Bryan Singer are finding it tough to stop tweeting about their upcoming movies (which are not coming till 2014!) and while I am keenly awaiting The Amazing Spider-Man 2 and X-Men: Days of the Future Past, the incessant publicity in the production stage itself has started to get annoying. Gone are the days it seems when the movie was made silently, to be followed by a blitzkrieg of marketing involving trailers, posters and interviews of the cast. Now you can invite people to be a part of the movie from quite early on, thanks to the flooding of various online communication channels and directors who find it hard to keep a lid on it! To each his own maybe, but I would like the silent approach to be followed where your work eventually does the talking. So farewell then, as I let silence envelop me again for soon it too shall meet its nemesis... of that I am certain! But even on such days, one can try to be blissful in peace...
