Day 1 through day 365.

 

[Dan]

Looks like B-grade garbage.

More like B-grade awesomeness.

But I'll probably just rent it. I am, after all, someone who thought Taken was just okay. I'll watch this for Guy Pearce having fun and because I'm a sucker for at least watching sci-fi movies (by no means necessarily liking them).

 

[Al-ibn Kermit]

Looks cool, plus how often do you get to see Guy Pearce? I think his last movie that I saw was Hurt Locker where he had like 2 minutes of screentime and then before that was....Memento? At least as far as movies that I've seen.

 

[Expendable.]

New Trailer

The King's Speech, but he wasn't in much of it. And his character was a super douche.

edit: Oh, and this looks like a lot of fun.

 

[Tabris]

That actually looks really fun. It's been a while since we've had a John McLean like action hero.

 

[castlegar]

Great trailer, better than the first. Looks so goddamn fun.

 

[Fallout-NL]

Looks like fun.

First Snow and Ravenous were great as well, in terms of G.P..

 

[Phantast2k]

Looks like a stupid action flick set in space.

I guess someone hit Luc Besson over the head with a baseball bat and he lost all of his talent because of it

In all fairness, he's not directing this. And his production company (Europa) has always had that motto of brainless, cheesy - sometimes awesome, sometimes shitty - action flicks.

As a director, he's done nothing interesting since Joan of Arc. Adele Blanc Sec was ridiculous and trite, Angel-A boasts some of the most stilted acting in French cinema. The Lady looks really promising, though; even if completely out of his typical style. Really hope it doesn't disappoint.

 

[squidyj]

Escape from New York in space?

I'll bite.

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

Can't believe Pearce is doing this shit. LOOKS CRAY

 

[Sent]

I'll watch for Pearce and Pearce alone.

 

[soultron]

I've not been so excited for an action movie in a long time. Looks awesome.

 

[B-B-Bomba!]

RE4 in space. This would have been the best film ever 10 years or so ago. These days, I would agree with Sculli actually.

 

[Funky Papa]

Looks a heck of a lot nicer than I thought. Count me in

 

[Replicant]

Sooo good.

"His name is Fok Yoo", he's Asian. LOLOLOL.

 

[Hot Coldman]

So, what's it called? MS-One, or Lockout? I'm confused.

The second trailer looked much better, Guy Pearce's character seems like a real laugh.

 

[UrbanRats]

It looks pretty standard, but it also looks fun enough.
The Lens Flare is unbearable, though.

 

[DieH@rd]

Looks like fun action movie. Will watch.

 

[Replicant]

I just realized that this is a Luc Besson's film. I glossed over that headline and just saw "Guy Pearce" when I first read it. Oops. Then it's double treat for me because I hope this is as crazy as "The Fifth Element".

 

[Carcetti]

Looks fun, definitely will watch.

 

[John Rabbit]

apparently you glossed over the thread too as besson is not actually directing this film.

 

[Replicant]

Damn it. It sure looks a lot like "Fifth Element" though style-wise.

 

[RedSwirl]

This is the first straight-up sci-fi action movie I've seen in a while. I mean sci-fi action in the same way as... Aliens or Pitch Black but without the horror.

 

[ArjanN]

Escape from New York, except with the space prison from the Riddick game.

From the trailer it looks like it might just be dumb enough to work.

 

[sk3]

First trailer looked like a TV movie, the second trailer gets me a bit more interested due to much more exposition. Best case scenario is it hits a similar vein as Pitch Black. A fun low budget sci-fi.

 

[TheKaeptain]

Looks awesome.

 

[Amagon]

This is gonna be a good movie!

 

[adamsappel]

Looks fun, but that trailer just showed the entire movie.

 

[Hot Coldman]

Looks fun, but that trailer just showed the entire movie.

Not really, seemed to show the basic premise and then EXPLOSIONS and stuff. It's no Cabin in the Woods, at least

 

[Alfarif]

Seriously. how long do we have to wait for "The Sixth Element: Ruby's Rodd"

I would watch this in a heartbeat. Fifth Element is my all-time favorite movie.

 

[jonnyp]

New title: Escape From M.S. One


Escape From M.S. One hits theaters April 20th, 2012.

What's up with all the cheesy, horrible one-liners? The premise was actually pretty cool and I think Pearce is a very good actor but that was just stupid.

 

[Mr_eX]

This is now my most anticipated movie of 2012

 

[Darklord]

Luc Besson? Sci-fi? I'm in.

 

[Kinyou]

The premise seems very similar to the "Escape from NY/LA" movies. I guess that's where the name change came from

 

[WrikaWrek]

It's NATHAN DRAKE

 

[Pinko Marx]

I'm a sucker for Luc Besson movies.
Taken
The Profressional
Kiss of the Dragon
5th Element
The Transporter

Some of the best action flicks ever made.

He was in Kings Speech and The Road for like a second... he was awesome in The Proposition. Really probably the most under-rated actor in existence.

 

[Angry Fork]

Produced by Luc Besson... =(

I wish he would direct another crime film.

I'm a sucker for Luc Besson movies.
Taken
The Profressional
Kiss of the Dragon
5th Element
The Transporter

Some of the best action flicks ever made.

La Femme Nikita too, one of my favorites.

 

[Hot Coldman]

New trailer. So fucking cheesy. "BUT HE'S A LOOSE CANNON"

 

[Genesis Knight]

It's like a remake of Escape From New York. I'm SO IN. It comes out the day before my birthday, too.

 

[jett]

This looks like it could be a good time.

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

So ridiculously cheesy. Can't resist this shit.

 

[Plissken]

If my username wasn't a hint, I LOVE Escape From New York. So they've done what Carpenter won't/can't do, and made Escape from Space. I'll be there opening night!

 

[Submarino Conversível]

I'm in!

 

[Rahxephon91]

Looks ridiculously fun.

 

[Barrett2]

How am I just now learning of this movie. Day. Motherfucking. 1.

 

[Blader]

So this is PG-13.

Probably gonna pass now.

 

[bengraven]

Fuck yes, all over my...

Fuck yes. All over my tongue.

Oh I already commented in here.
