Dan and Conrad slip into some chunky knit sweaters and go underground to explore City of Ember (2008), a post-apocalyptic science fantasy starring Harry Treadaway, Saoirse Ronan, Bill Murray and Tim Robbins. Based on a popular series of novels by Jeanne DuPrau, which became the focus of an intense bidding war when it came time for the film adaptation, the film seems to presage the explosion of young adult dystopian adventures that would follow in the wake of The Hunger Games in the 2010s. But should the film be rekindled, or should the ember be extinguished in the oubliette forever? Find out!
