Chris Evans in post-apocalyptic sci-fi “Snowpiercer” trailer (video)  July 6, 2013 - 11:29 AMTPanARMENIAN.Net - A plan to stop global warming has gone very, very wrong in Snowpiercer, which has debuted a new trailer, according to The Hollywood Reported. The post-apocalyptic sci-fi film from South Korean director Bong Joon-ho is set in a future in which a failed experiment to put an end to global warming has resulted in an ice age, kiling off most of humanity. The only survivers live on Snowpiercer -- a train that circumnavigates the globe and is powered by a perpetual-motion engine. A class system has developed, with the poor living in the train's tale and the rich living in the front. One man (Chris Evans) has had enough, and seeks to reach the front of the train to benefit everyone on it. Among those seeking to stop him is the strangely dressed Mason (Tilda Swinton). It's the first English-language film for Bong, known for directing the Korean monster blockbuster The Host (2006). The film lso stars Jamie Bell, Alison Pill, John Hurt, Octavia Spencer, and Ed Harris. Frequent Bong colaborator Song Kang-ho plays Namgoong Minsu, a mysterious securty specialist Evans' character seeks out for help. Snowpiercer is being released domestically by the Weinstein Company, which has not announced a release date. It hits South Korean theaters this summer.
