Reviewed a moving novel today by Michel Faber called "The Book of Strange New Things." It's a curious mix of science fiction and spirituality.﻿

I wouldn't be surprised if we get several different trailers over the next few months, along with "leaked" studio shots, profiles and rumors of cast infighting and making-up. Prepare! ﻿
The trailer for the wildly anticipated movie was released Thursday morning.
