Ryan Phillippe plays a masked vigilante detective named Preest, who is searching for his nemesis on the streets of Meanwhile City, a monolithic fantasy metropolis ruthlessly governed by faith and religious fervor. Bernhard Hill plays Esser, a broken man who is searching for his wayward son amongst the rough streets of London’s homeless. Sam Riley plays a heartbroken guy named Milo, who is desperately trying to find a way back to “the purity of first love.” And Eva Green plays an art student named Emilia whose suicidal artwork is “becoming increasingly more complex and deadly.”
Sound bizarre? /Film talks about the new SF movie Franklyn.
The split narrative motif has been used before. For example, Bruce Willis and Richard Gere starred in 1997's "The Jackal", each filming most of his scenes without the other actor. The two characters only meet in the movie's finale.
Nonetheless, it's a difficult formula to work with. Some television shows have struggled to make split narrative work right. The timing of scenes has to seem plausible. But by working with parallel worlds and different time periods Franklyn may overcome some of those challenges.
