And Joel Silver created the Trinity character in the Matrix flicks.
Huh.
The Wachowski brothers must be so grateful to him.
eta: That's a perfect semantic distinction Tom.
It's good to have cargo. Makes us a target for every other scavenger out there, though, but sometimes that's fun too.

Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
His is a far more resonant and rich voice than any of the other actors listed.
I am in love with the man's voice, but Sean Bean can give his profundity a run for its money.
Sean is in the Jodie Foster movie! I'm so all over that!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Yeah, ita, I saw that trailer. Looked damn good, huh?

Eh - both of Tim Burton's Batman movies reinvented everyone's origin to a certain extent. I'm not too concerned about that (especially if it lets Joss cast, say, Gina Torres - not that I'm holding out a lot of hope for that).

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
On the air travel theme, I'm not sure Red Eye looks interesting, but it sure was funny.
I'm just not sure how much watchable horror they can wring out of "my seatmate won't shut up." I mean, do they not have headphones in this movie's universe?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I loved the trailer's shift from romcom to slightly creepy "romantic" to a flash of red and "Wes Craven presents..."
The audience lost it then, and again when the movie's title came up. In a way I don't want to know anything more about it. It was a perfect experience all encapsulated like that.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
I agree with you, ita, on the Red Eye trailer. I was sitting with my friend B watching it, and I kept nudging him and saying "The music's gonna change, dude. Wait. I'm telling you, it'll be a thriller." But I wasn't expecting the Craven-ness. I don't think I want to see the movie, because it would only ruin the trailer. (Which was the only thing that really scared me the night I saw The Ring 2.)

Because I refuse to leave well enough alone, I checked the IMDB entry for Red Eye, and I'm disappointed. It's not horror. As psych thrillers on a plane go, I'm picking Flight Plan.

Aww. That trailer was just so damn unsettling.

Ooh. It was written by Carl Ellsworth (who wrote the "Halloween" episode of Buffy).
