Butler Plays Game with Crank Creators

[Kaeg]

Has anyone else read info about his new movie from the guys that brought everyone Crank and the illustrious Crank II.

To be honest the trailer looks great, but doesn't it seem like a Running Man for the new millenium?

oh thanks for this, doesn't look to bad

 

[imaperson2]

looks kind of like it would be a sequel to death race, the plot seems similar enough...

hurr durr

 

[Why Are You Crouching Spock?]

Kinda Running Man.
Looks interesting.

I think it looks like garbage in truth, just noisy and crass, kinda like the duo's Crank films.

Not everything has to be high minded pompous philosophy though. Sometimes noisy garbage is just what the doctor ordered.

Why does it have to be pompous ? and where did I even mention that ?
Not my doctor, I don't mind an actioner with little plot like Taken, but this just looks horrid, like something specifically made for the teens.

I wasn't insulting you or anything. I was exaggerating.

Ah ok. Now I get you. When you said garbage I thought you meant in the same way that something like Taken can be considered grbage, but in a good way. Sorry about that.

it's movies like these that will prevent Gerald from being a bigger stsar that he is now.

 

[dark_b]

this looks fantastic. action packed.

but why ludacris? why is he still getting work?

Personally, I think it's those romantic comedies that keep him from being a bigger star, like the one he did with Hillary Swank, and that new one with Katherine Hiegel. Blah! I'll see Gamer in a theater way before I see that suicide inducing dreck.

 

[dark_b]

true true. this movie kicks ass.

Yeah, good point. Also, if Gerard wants to be taken more seriously as an actor, he has to either learn how to do an American accent better, or simply play a Scot in all of his movies. To me, there's nothing more distracting than hearing someone brogue come slipping through at random moments throughout a movie.

 

[Johnny Drama]

I think Butler has sold out far too quickly

Yeah because 300 was 3 years ago and he has done SO much since then

 

[xwolverine2]

this movie was extremely bad...

Gamer is Lamer..

its a ****** version of Deathrace...

 

[Octoberist]

any hot naked chicks running around with guns?

 

[Prison Mike]

I'll see it on dvd just for Michael C. Hall

 

[GhostPoet]

I hate pretty much everything Lionsgate is involved with...so I won't be seeing this.

 

[Fanticon]

this one looked bad...i really have no interest in it...probably gonna wait and rent it. i just hate concepts like this...it reminds me of how out of touch hollywood was with video game based movies back in the 90's.

 

[xwolverine2]

any hot naked chicks running around with guns?

theres plenty...on rollerblades

I'll see it on dvd just for Michael C. Hall

he was ok... he did what he could

 

[xwolverine2]

oh and Zoe Bell was reduced to a tiny cameo... they introduced her then killed her off in 3seconds... she didnt even do any kind of stunt either. lol
what a freakin waste

 

[Episode29]

And what was up with John Leguizamo's role?

 

[Doctor Jones]

This honestly looks terrible. Looks like a forced story with "depth" with the wife and kid, and just looks poorly made.

hurr durr

I know, right?

 

[Soggy]

Joblo gave it a decent review but the guy loves the Crank movies especially the second one (Crank 1 good, Crank 2 terrible), give it a shot on DVD probably.
