Marina Antunes [Celluloid 01.19.10] trailer news action thriller



I'm not quite sure of what to make of French director Alexandre Aja. He garnered a whole lot of attention with the memorable High Tension which he followed up with a surprisingly good remake of the classic horror film The Hills Have Eyes. Mirrors was a disappointing mess and frankly, I'd pretty much given up hope on seeing anything else from Aja that caught my attention and Piranha 3D was definitely not that movie. And then I saw the trailer.

Jerry O'Connell, Richard Dreyfuss, Ving Rhames, Elisabeth Shue, Christopher Lloyd, Adam Scott and Eli Roth all star in Aja's new film, a throwback to 80s cheesiness complete with awesome cars, over the top "drama" and a Jaws' like storyline that had me grinning from ear to ear. Then there's also the music and the overall look and feel which essentially boils into an over-the-top crazy concoction which spells fun. I. Can't. Wait.

I agree. Aja has captured the feeling of the "Meatballs" era while updating the scares. Plus he brought back Elizabeth Shue. Not too shabby... but Jerry O'Connell? Not a fan.

What....not a Sliders fan? I haven't liked him much since that show. He sort of creeps me out...

Heh, I remember Sliders but I never watched it. Kangaroo Jack, now that's classic O'Connell!

Thing is, I totally get why Aja cast O'Connell. I mean, he's the spring break king, so it makes sense. I just never liked him much as a personality.
