First trailer - Bipasha Basu and Josh Hartnett’s epic love saga ‘Singularity’

The trailer of Bipasha Basu’s first Hollywood film Singularity is out. Starring the Hollywood hunk Josh Hartnett and a host of Indian and foreign actors, the film is a time travel epic love saga set in 18th century colonial India, and is directed by Roland Joffe, an English-French film director known for his Oscar nominated movies, The Killing Fields and The Mission.

From the first trailer, which makes for a riveting watch, audiences get to know the characters and feel of the film. The cinematography and locales are awesome. The dark tone of the trailer also exhibits the suspense and adventure in the film. Though the movie Singularity is touted to be a love story between an English officer, Josh Hartnett, and a Maratha warrior, Bipasha Basu, the trailer lacks the element of romance, barring some scenes where Josh is seen helping a hurt and bleeding Bipasha.

Nevertheless it’s a fast-paced trailer of approx three minutes and twenty-eight seconds and also shows a lovemaking scene between actor Atul Kulkarni, who plays Raoji, and actress Tehmina Sunny. Since the movie’s subplot involves murder, deceit, betrayal and revenge, the first trailer manages to intrigue and interest the audiences with its spellbinding moments. Abhay Deol also plays a crucial part in the film, but the actor is missing from the trailer.

Premise of the film: Great Barrier Reef, 2020. After a dangerous dive to save his wife Laura (Neve Campbell) trapped while exploring a colonial British merchant ship wreckage, Jay Fennel (Josh Hartnett), a rugged and attractive marine archaeologist lies brain dead in a Boston hospital.

Fennel's dream-like coma takes us back in time to Pune, India in 1778. The British East India Company is invading the palaces and a young captain named James Stewart (Josh Hartnett), who bears a striking resemblance to Fennel, is about to embark on a dangerous mission. Along the way he encounters murder, deceit, betrayal and revenge. He falls deeply in love with a Maratha warrior named Tulaja Naik (Bipasha Basu), an impossible love which he must fight for. Only the power of a ring can transcend time and save a life.

Here’s the first trailer of Singularity. The movie will premiere at Cannes International Film Festival in May:

First Promo Trailer & On-Set Video for Singularity with Josh Hartnett   

14/05/2012

With Josh Hartnett in the lead, I’ll be game for just about anything, and Singularity has always sounded like something to look forward to. The project has been in the works for quite a while, with Brendan Fraser previously attached, and this year it has finally come a hair’s breadth away from making it to the big screen.

Though plagued with financial difficulties that culminated in the film stopping just short of finishing production earlier this year, The Playlist reported back in February that Belgium’s Corsan Films, who first packaged and pre-sold the film, insist it will be on the market at Cannes this month.

The question we’re now faced with though, getting this first promo and on-set video, is whether Neve Campbell is still a part of the film. For a few possible explanations of why she unfortunately isn’t seen here, keep reading.

Both the trailer and the behind-the-scenes look show some impressive footage – curiously, the on-set video seems to have even better shots than the trailer itself, so be sure to watch that too.

According to Bipasha Basu, it’s not an official trailer, “just a rough clip,” presumably to promote its appearance on the market at Cannes – so if you have any worries about the trailer not being up to scratch, you can lay them to rest.

The on-set video is where the best magic happens.

Written and directed by Roland Joffé, twice Oscar nominee (The Killing Fields), the film also stars Bipasha Basu, Abhay Deol, Simone Kessell, Claire van der Boom, and Shane Briant.

Interestingly, Neve Cambpell’s involvement with the film was noted as late as February this year, but there is no sign of her in either the trailer or the on set video.

Though it’s not official, it could be that because 10% of the film was said to have been left not filmed due to lack of funds, the sections involving Campbell either had to be cut for the film to make sense, or were never filmed in the first place.

The reason being, the film as it was originally imagined had a synopsis that looked like this:

    “Great Barrier Reef, 2020. After a dangerous dive to save his wife Laura (Neve Campbell) trapped while exploring a colonial British merchant ship wreckage, Jay Fennel (Josh Hartnett), a rugged and attractive marine archeologist lies brain dead in a Boston hospital.

    Fennel’s dream-like coma takes us back in time to Pune, India in 1778. The British East India Company is invading the palaces and a young captain named James Stewart (Josh Hartnett), who bears a striking resemblance to Fennel, is about to embark on a dangerous mission. Along the way he encounters murder, deceit, betrayal and revenge. He falls deeply in love with a Marathi warrior named Tulaja Naik (Bipasha Basu), an impossible love which he must fight for.

    Only the power of a ring can transcend time and save a life.”

It’s quite possible, then, that by tweaking the film to only take place in India, 1778, the future-set section of the film could have been edited out entirely (or not filmed in the first place).

I’m hopeful, however, that it’s simply because this is a promo trailer, and they’re either wanting to hold back the 2020 part of the film until a later trailer, or that they’ll film it if they can secure further funding after Cannes.

Exactly when Singularity will be making its way to cinemas – and at this point, it could be ‘if’ rather than ‘when’, but I hope not – is not yet known, and will possibly depend on what happens at Cannes in the next few weeks.

I love Hartnett in everything he’s been in to date, with a great track record that includes the likes of The Faculty, Lucky Number Slevin, Black Hawk Down, and 30 Days of Night, not to mention being instrumental in bringing Sin City to the big screen. From this first footage, we’d be in for a real treat if Singularity does finally make it to the big screen.

Here’s the first promo trailer followed by the on-set video for you to judge for yourselves. More as we get it.

Bipasha on Josh
22 /05 /2012
After her break-up with long-time boyfriend John Abraham, Bipasha Basu is now being linked to her 'Singularity' co-star Josh Hartnett. But the 'Dum Maaro Dum' star isn't really bothered by the rumours.

"Link-up rumours don't bother me any more. At the end of the day, whatever two people have, it is for them to know. The world speculates and let them do that," Biphasha said in a phone interview from Murmansk, Russia.

"All these things are a part of our business and both Josh and I understand that. This discussion of link-ups will happen forever. What is important is that the two people who are being spoken about should know what the truth is and what is not," Bips added.

Bipasha, now 32, started her career as a ramp model and then entered B'wood with 'Ajnabee' in 2001. Since then, she's had hits like 'Race', 'No Entry', 'Phir Hera Pheri', 'Omkara' and 'Dhoom 2'.

After her break-up with John with whom she worked in 'Jism', 'Madhoshi', and 'Dhan Dhana Dhan Goal', her growing friendship with Josh was talked about as a potential romance, but the actress maintains she only shares a working relationship with the American actor.

"It's been great working with Josh because he is immensely talented and he is always very kicked about the work he does. He is a very nice person to work with. We got along very well and we intent to keep in touch. I can easily say that because of this film ('Singularity') , I met an interesting person," she explained.

'Singularity', a period film, is being directed by Oscar-nominated filmmaker Roland Joffe. The film, which kicked off production in Queensland, later moved to India and was shot at places like Gwalior and Orchha in Madhya Pradesh.

After completing the shoot in Orchha, where the temperature was 40 degrees Celsius, Bipasha immediately flew down to Murmansk, where the temperature is -35 degrees Celsius, to shoot for Abbas-Mastan's 'Players'.
