Rupert Wyatt's The Escapist was excellent, but I don't get my hopes up. This is Fox after all.

This is a remake of that movie.

This is a remake of that movie.

It's a bit silly that this new movie is still a prequel to the original.

What's even stranger is that in the original 5 films, the last 3 films are all prequels to the first. It's pretty cool, actually. Here's a good timeline for those films: http://pota.goatley.com/prophecy/timeline.htm
