Noomi Rapace x7
Monday, June 5, 2017 at 8:00AM Chris here. Have you been wondering where Noomi Rapace has been hiding? Well, she's been busy getting cloned for her upcoming Netflix film Seven Sisters. (Just kidding, obviously, but just imagine the gifts we could receive if we started cloning actress!)
Rapace stars as septuplets in a world where siblings are outlawed. Raised by father figure Willem Dafoe, each woman is named for the day of the week that they get to go out into the real world, all assuming the identity of one Karen Settman. As if this doesn't sound looney tunes enough, Glenn Close shows up as the bureaucratic villain for maximum camp nefariousness. When Monday doesn't return home, it's up to the rest of the week sisters to find out what happened to her. And you thought your Mondays were the worst!
Seven Sisters will arrive on stateside Netflix sometime at the end of the year (though it opens elsewhere this summer), and I'm already a little giddy for its sci-fi silliness and what looks like Rapace having a good time. In your sci-fi dystopia, what one day of the week would you choose to leave the house?

SEVEN SISTERS should use that "Days of the Week" kids song (to the tune of "The Addams Family") as its theme.
Not sure if this is worth the Netflix subscription. I think I'll wait until the inevitable reboot with Rooney Mara, who probably will get an Emmy nomination for her originality.
Glenn Close should avoid villains for the rest of her life. You don't top Alex Forrest.
Yes, besides the Orphan Black connection, I'm intrigued. Too bad the male villain looks so generically bland and unintimidating (maybe the point? the banality of evil, etc.).
I saw Covenant this weekend, and all I kept thinking was, "Maaan, I miss Noomi Rapace." This is the perfect announcement!
@Joey: yes, that's what I was thinking when I saw Alien Covenant too. Every time I see Noomi Rapace, I think oh, yes, I love her, so fresh and immediate and propulsive.
For day of the week, I would choose "Saturday" so I wouldn't be one of the working sisters and could see all the theatre, dance troupes, concerts, etc that came through town. And I could meet up with my Saturday friends, because I'd like to know lots more people than my familial circle.
Tuesday or Wednesday, depending on whichever day I wasn't working. Fewer people out and about and usually cheaper movie tickets.
I'd kill the rest o the 6 days n leave the house forever as the ONLY Settman! 😂 juz kiddin..
I'll probably be like mon, leave the house n nev come back again.
