Today is better the second time around
Another attempt by Michael Bay and his Platinum Dunes team to extend their reach beyond blood & horror, Project Almanac is squarely in the teen sci-fi adventure genre with some time-travel drama at its core. Check out the first trailer below and the latest poster lower down the page.
Presented in a semi-found footage style, the film focuses on a group of friends who stumble upon plans to build a time machine. And because no-one who has ever had access to one of those things in movies can resist tinkering with the past, they eschew trying to stop World War II and instead begin trying to sort out mistakes. Soon, they’re manipulating things even further for their own gain, but naturally come to realise that chrono-hijinks carry a high price. Someone really needed to sit this lot down and make them watch Doctor Who. Or The Butterfly Effect, which would probably have been more of a punishment.
Directed by Dean Israelite (cousin of Jonathan Liebesman, which explains why it got a sneaky shout-out in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles), the film features Jonny Weston, Amy Landecker, Sofia Black-D'Elia, Gary Grubbs and Virginia Gardner. {Project Almanac Poster}
Having made it through a process that has seen it titled variously Almanac, Welcome To Yesterday and Cinema One and watch more than one release date come and go, Project Almanac is finally set to hit our screens on February 6.
