So, earlier today, I saw a movie called Seeking A Friend For The End Of The World and … well, it wasn’t very good. 

But, fortunately, it was preceded by a trailer for a film that’s got me very excited about the future of 2012.  That film is Joe Wright’s adaptation of Leo Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina.  Just judging from the trailer, it looks like this is going to be a visually sumptuous and intriguing adaptation of Tolstoy’s novel. 

It doesn’t hurt that Joe Wright’s last film was my personal favorite of 2011, Hanna.
