Danny Boyle’s next flick, Sunshine really has me intrigued. It returns the director to the thriller genre while reteaming him with 28 Days Later star Cillian Murphy. The movie takes place as the sun is dying, following a team of scientists on a vessel traveling towards the sun in an effort to rekindle the dying star. An accident and an encounter with another vessel quickly turns the team’s mission of rescue into one for their own survival.
Unfortunately Sunshine has already suffered several setbacks, being delayed from it’s March release and bumped around continually. At one time three different sites had three different release dates for the movie, ranging from a vague “Fall” to a December listing. Now the movie is only a month away, coming out July 20th… assuming it doesn’t get bumped again.
One thing is promising for the movie: a new poster. ShockTillYouDrop.com has gotten a look at the new poster from Fox Searchlight. Take a look at a smaller version of the poster below or click here to see a bigger version. Do take note however: despite a release date only a month away, the poster still has a vague “Coming Soon” printed on it. Is there another move forthcoming?

I'm thinking they'll honor the July 20 American release date (so as to show support of the film's premiere at the Los Angeles Film Festival), but the "Coming Soon" implies that someone (I count myself in this category) is still hoping that Boyle and company will go in for extensive rewriting and re-cutting of the final third, where Alex Garland's bare-bones, depressing, and dicey screenplay falls all the way apart.
