'Salvage' Trailer
Official Synopsis:
Christmas Eve, and the residents of a quiet British cul-de-sac are suddenly plunged into a world of violence, terror and paranoia when a group of heavily armed military personnel storm their road ordering them at gunpoint to retreat inside their homes. Unsure if this is the sign of a terrorist attack, or something much worse, one local mother finds it in herself to desperately fight to save her estranged daughter stranded across the street. However, with growing dread, the residents soon discover that the threat is more monstrous than any of them could possibly imagine, and survival is no longer a guarantee.
The film is out on DVD in Eire & UK 22 March 2010.
Extra Tidbit: The film was primarily filmed on the set of the old channel 4 soap 'Brookside'.

On Christopher Nolan taking a 'godfather' type role for a new Superman film:
"Wouldn't you like to know!"On the possibility of a Watchmen sequel:
"We don't have any plans about that, and as I've mentioned, in the coming months we'll be making a lot of announcements about what our content plans will be, but right now, that's nothing but rumor — and we frankly don't say a whole lot more about rumor than that, so..."
"No, that's all rumor," she said. "I'm not sure where it came from. We'll be looking closely at our whole library and making sure we're looking for opportunities to mine every property where it makes sense, and with integrity, but that's just rumor."

Tarantino Reveals Western Details
'I'd like to do a Western, But rather than set it in Texas, have it in slavery times. With that subject that everybody is afraid to deal with. Let's shine that light on ourselves.'
