This looks interesting.



Hollywood has, in the past, rewarded people with sub par ideas, tons of money, fame and the subsequent blow jobs (literally AND figuratively) that come with those things. However, for every Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow , you get a District 9. What does that mean? You say. Well, so glad you asked; see those movies were short films or trailers put together by unknown film makers who went to Hollywood, showed what they had and immediately got a deal to make their movie...or something to that effect. The point is, they were homegrown ideas that had potential. Some met their potential, Paranormal Activity and some fell flat on their face Shoot 'em Up. This trailer featured above is one of those kinds of movies, the director brought this trailer to some meetings and know he gets to be Sam Raimi's sidekick. The movie is tentatively titled Panic Attack! It looks like Cloverfield meets 300 with a bit of Independence Day thrown in there for good measure. I'm not a film maker, so my inner curmudgeon can only be so interested and then something shiny moves into my eyesight. Explosions! It'll be cool to see what the finished product looks like, because this film is one car chase scene on an endless highway away from being a Michael Bay film. Hopefully, they don't go that route and they keep in it Spanish, that way I get to feel all intellectual while reading along to things exploding at a popcorn flick.
