Released in Canada last year, the French-Canadian hit comedy, Starbuck, was received with brilliant reviews – you can read our review here – and has since prompted a Hollywood remake, starring Vince Vaughn, which is due out in Autumn 2013.
The original will be released here in the UK next Friday, and after catching the UK trailer last month, we’ve got an exclusive clip from the upcoming comedy to share.
“At 42, David lives the life of an irresponsible adolescent. Twenty years earlier, he’d provided sperm to a fertility clinic in exchange for money. As his on/off girlfriend tells him she is pregnant, he also discovers he’s the father of 533 children, 142 of whom have filed a class action lawsuit to determine the identity of their biological father, known only by the pseudonym Starbuck.”
Patrick Huard stars in the eponymous, anonymous lead, alongside Julie LeBreton, Antoine Bertrand, Dominic Philie, Marc Bélanger,...

Released in Canada last year to excellent early reviews, Starbuck has spent the past year on the festival circuit, coming away with a handful of awards to its name, and earning plenty of praise – you can read our review here.
Already set for a Us remake, with Vince Vaughn attached in the lead, the original Quebec-made comedy will be released in the UK next month, and now a great new trailer has arrived.

An intriguing but failed attempt at episodic filmmaking, "Cosmos" takes six separate stories from six different directors and attempts to interweave them, the only common thread being the character of Cosmos, a Greek taxi driver who appears throughout.
Unfortunately, most of the episodes fail to resonate, and the most striking thing about this Canadian effort, showcased at the New Directors/New Films festival, is the gorgeous black-and-white cinematography by Andre Turpin, who also directed the best episode.
Shot in and around Montreal, the film's stories have a fragmented, wispy quality that makes them almost instantly forgettable. The most entertaining episode, Turpin's "Jules and Fanny", concerns the reunion of two former lovers after many years. Fanny (Marie-France Lambert) is now a successful lawyer, and Jules (Alexis Martin) is the translator for a deaf woman who figures prominently in one of her cases. But the amusing story line mainly revolves around whether Jules will get to take a peek at Fanny's new, surgically augmented breasts.
That gives you an idea of the film's weightiness. Denis Villenueve's "The Technetium" concerns a filmmaker's freak-out during a television talk show appearance. Jennifer Alleyn's "Aurore and Crepuscule" depicts the platonic romantic encounter between an older man and a beautiful young woman. Manon Briand's "Boost" presents Cosmos' efforts to help a young girl who experiences car trouble while trying to reach a friend who may be HIV-positive. And Marie-Julie Dallaire's "The Individual" is a would-be suspenser about a seemingly innocuous young man who spreads terror.
Cosmos (Igor Ovadis), the engaging Greek taxi driver, shows up to little effect in each of these vignettes and even gets one of his own, in which his taxicab is stolen and a slapstick chase ensues.
Although it contains some effective performances and certainly looks good, "Cosmos" comes across as both underwhelming and pretentious, a fairly deadly combination. Considering that it enlists the talents of six different filmmakers, the end result demonstrates a surprisingly low ratio of quality.
