February 27, 2009 11:02:56

A clip from "Franklyn" entitled "Relieved of Life" has been found. Less than a minute long, the snippet to the drama fantasy highlights on Ryan Phillippe's Preest while he ponders on what people will do when they are lost and on the crime and action for justice, revealing that he was about to kill a man who has robbed a young woman's life. The clip opens with a glimpse of Sam Riley's Milo and the aerial shot of Meanwhile City.

"Franklyn" is a split narrative set simultaneously in contemporary London and in a future metropolis ruled by religious fervor. It revolves around an intertwining story of four lost souls; Preest, a masked vigilante detective looking for his nemesis on the streets of Meanwhile City; Emilia, an art student whose suicidal art projects become increasingly deadly; Esser, a broken man in search for his out-of-control son amongst the rough streets of London's homeless; and Milo, a heartbroken thirty-something man desperately trying to find a way back to the purity of first love.

Fantastic cinematography, brilliant actors, however, the plot is a bit sketchy and the characters underdeveloped. The story feels blurry but then again so is the human mind. Blurry and confused at times.
