Pompeii - New Trailer With Maximum Destruction (Feb 2014)

Pompeii, the upcoming historical disaster movie, directed by Paul W.S. Anderson has been released with a new trailer. The finale scene of erupting volcano looks epic. It looks set to be a sad ending movie.

Starring Kit Harrington, Carrie-Ann Moss and Emily Browning, it will be released on 21st February 2014 (in 3D). Before watching the latest trailer, take a look on the synopsis of the movie here (source : GeekTyrant.com):

It’s late summer in 79 A.D. and the city of Pompeii glitters at the foot of the mighty Mt. Vesuvius. MILO, the slave of a shipping tycoon, dreams of the day he will buy his freedom and marry his master’s daughter, COLUMBA. What he doesn’t know is that Columba’s debt-ridden father has promised Columba to a despicable Roman Senator to pay off an overdue loan. 

Milo does know that his friend, the Gladiator NIGELLUS, is being forced to compete the next day in a seemingly unwinnable battle in the Coliseum. As Milo tries to find a way to save his friend, he learns that Columba has been promised to another man and that he himself has been sold to a new master. Just as it seems things can’t get any worse, Mt. Vesuvius suddenly explodes with the power of 40 nuclear bombs, sending a torrent of 1,000-degree ash and smoke into the city. Lava flows down the mountainside, killing thousands. As Pompeii crumbles, Nigellus is imprisoned inside the Coliseum, Columba is locked inside her family’s villa, and Milo is trapped aboard a ship bound for Naples. 

As the people of Pompeii flee the obliterated city, Milo is determined to return to it to save his friend and his beloved Columba. With fire and ash destroying the only world he’s ever known, an ordinary man is tested to his breaking point in this heart-pounding tale of extraordinary heroism.

Now, enjoy the trailer below.

Pompeii - Teaser Trailer Of This Historical Volcanic Disaster Looks Promising (Feb 2014)

First, I must admit that I like disaster movies, especially those involved volcanic eruption (hence, I've watched Dante's Peak [1997] three times and Volcano [1997] two times, all in the cinemas). Thus, you might say that there is a slight bias regarding this post title of Pompeii (as it is a movie revolves around the historical eruption of Mt. Vesuvius). However, I am quite sure you will agree with me after watching this epic teaser trailer.

Dante's Peak (1997)

Volcano (1997)

Directed by Paul W.S. Anderson (whom last brought us the successful franchise sequel, Resident Evil - Retribution [2012]), even with lesser known casts like Kit Harington, Emily Browning and Carrie-Anne-Moss, this disaster-theme movie still worth the wait and I am looking froward to it in 2014.
