Sam Jackson' Colin Farrell' Must Be SWAT!!
Hey, everyone. "Moriarty" here with some Rumblings From The Lab.
This is one of those question marks for me, and I wanted to go to the trailer party thing that Sony threw last week to talk to Neal Moritz about it. David Ayer (DEEP BLUE and TRAINING DAY) worked on the script, and Clark Johnson (HOMICIDE, THE SHIELD) is the director, so there’s a chance we’ll get some real grit out of the film. I know Harry is still hung up on an early draft that he had a love affair with, but I haven’t read jack or shit so far. I just have this trailer to go on:
Hey Harry. Here's the SWAT Trailer in "glorious Quicktime." Looks neat to me.
CLICK HERE AND HUM ALONG TO THE THEME SONG!!
S.F.In a summer jampacked with CGI and aliens and robots and mutants, I must admit... I’m sort of looking forward to cops and drug dealers and guns. I hope this one works. It’d be a real waste of star power if it doesn’t.
"Moriarty" out.

I would like farrel to have a hit but unfortunately this won't be it. LL cool J doesn't look the same on screen without J Lo in a skimpy pink trench coat. And as for Sammy L, isn't it about time he got back to his roots and out of films from the producer's of "The fast and the furious" and "XXX".

Look, I know this is a summer movie and I am sure it will rake in the dough 'cause of all the explotions and Sam The Man Jackson, but I just can't help but crack up when I see that trailer. I mean in right-wing flicks, SWAT teams are faceless Jack-Booted Thugs. In left-wing flicks SWAT teams are faceless Agents of THE MAN. And, in just about every other Action/suspense/crime/thiller (commedy or drama) movie of the last 25 years or so, SWAT teams are simply cannon fodder. I know in real life these guys are the baddest of the bad, but when I see them in a movie, all I can think of is Keystone Cops in blue Imperial Stormtrooper armor.

You know. Just have a series of terrorist/criminal related vignettes while the bad guys who seem like carbon copies of each other scheme in the background.

DAWN OF THE DEAD. "Wooley's gone apeshit, man!"
-
I mean, unless HULK is an alien or the kids from Spy kids are, but here on't be an aliens his summer.
-
Nah...too lazy. Fuck first posters. Fuck them up their stupid asses...With SWAT boots on...

Minority Report did about $130 million, The Recruit made near $60 (a modest hit), Daredevil did over $100 and Phone booth -- with a budget of only $13 million -- will end-up making over $50. It won't be long before he carries a film to blockbuster status on his own -- maybe Alexander the Great??
-
Doesn't Colin Farrel walking in the subway pointing his gun around remind you of Keanu Reeves in Speed? And Sam Jackson is like a rehash of the guy Joe Morton played in the Speed movies...
-
Neal Moritz should be killed. He makes Jerry Schlockheimer look like Saul Zaentz. Oh well, at least we get to see Michelle Rodriguez smile for once.
-
But Casey's still stuck at the funeral home and Jeremy's writing for the President, obviously heartbroken that Natalie has run off to Stuckeyville with Ed Stevens. Dana and Isaac are MIA, presumably trying to get a new show together or forever battling the evil Luther Sachs.

I'm loving everybody's favourite sportscaster's career change! But it seems that Casey's still stuck at the funeral home and Jeremy's writing for the President, obviously heartbroken that Natalie has run off to Stuckeyville with Ed Stevens. Dana and Isaac are MIA, presumably trying to get a new show together or forever battling the evil Luther Sachs. "I'm Dan Rydell, along with Casey McCall, and you're watching Sports Night, on CSC. Now excuse me while Farrell and I open up a can o' whup-ass..."
