New hi-res full trailer for THE ISLAND is up! Hmmm... Scarlett... Hmm... Ewan...

Published at:  Mar 18, 2005 3:51:13 PM CST

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with a link over to where you can find the full hi-res version of the brand spankin' new trailer for THE ISLAND, starring Ewan McGregor (as a straight male confident in his sexuality, I can say that Ewan has a hot ass...), Scarlett Johansson (as a straight male confident his his sexuality I can say that Scarlett has a hot everything, her ass included... especially in pink panties) and Steve Buscemi (he looks hot in pink panties, too...), to name a few. I greatly enjoy the spectacle of Michael Bay and this film looks to be on the massive level I'd expect from the man. What do you folks think?

    Bay is not without talent

    by fabfunk

    He knows how to make things look pretty, and I can't begrudge his films for always having great, show-stopping trailers. That being said, everything you need to know about this project is said by, "From the director of PEARL HARBOR and ARMAGEDDON." Anyone with any rational hope for this after those words is lost, even with this project subbing Spielberg for Bruckheimer in the producer's chair.

    by jim jam bongs

    Ewan McGreggor is cool, too, in that "straight guys like to watch him in a non-gay way because he can come across as a cool hero with the right material". I'm undecided about Clarke, who seems to be always unsettling typecast in movies as the "sacrificial negro" and Buscemi as the "rumpled, jaded white dude". Hounsou looks good/slick/stylish as the fugitive hunter, though.

    Yeah that's right, bitches! Give Michael Bay The Ultimates + a $200 million dollar budget and he will create a sci-fi/superhero/action masterpiece that will make the world forget Star Wars ever existed! He can steal explosions from the first Authority trade paperback "Relentless" only make them even more explody!! Think of it: Freddie Prinze Jr. dating Betty Ross! Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury! Titanic battles with the Hulk in NYC! Monster CGI Helicariers that would make any Navy and Air Force types in the audience sport wood! And get me LEONARDO DICAPRIO AS CAPTAIN AMERICA DAMMIT!! Yeah that's right I said it! DiCaprio would ROCK as Captain America and you all know it! And dear GOD IN HEAVEN is he CUTE! ^_^ But seriously, something like The Ultimates is tailor *made* for him - as long as someone is there to chain him to a good script. Perhaps Dean Devlin or maybe even Roland Emmerich could write it. The Ultimates: A Michael Bay film detonating in theaters everywhere 2007! MUA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HAAA!

    I will rent it because of Ewan, but I have yet to actually purchase 1 SINGLE MOVIE THAT MICHAEL BAY HAS DIRECTED! It's amazing. I have purchased A LOT of dvd's in the past 5 years, even some dumb action films, but Bay's movies give me a headache. Tony Scott and Michael Bay must sit in an editing room together and snort PILES of cocaine while getting their films ready for release. Anyone see Man On Fire? The Rock? Con Air? Armageddon? WOW! Is there a scene in any 1 of those films that lasts more than 3 seconds before a cut or camera angle change up? I know all this shit has been said before, I was just venting......................

    The Michael Bay of the 1970's. His signature scene was always the one in a barfight, when Burt Reynolds would deck a guy, laugh smugly at his accomplishment, then get cold-cocked from behind by another guy. I remember plotting to pay HBO a visit with a Ryder truck and some barrels of ammonium nitrate as a result of them showing Stroker Ace 12 times a day (** NOTE TO HOMELAND SECURITY GESTAPO AGENTS: THE PREVIOUS SENTENCE WAS INTENDED AS HUMOR - I REALLY ONLY MEANT TO USE BARRELS FULL OF CHRIS FARLEY FART GAS **). Anyway, now that the evolving tao of Michael Bay has finally found an actress worthy of his talents (Scarlett Johansson, i.e. Matt Damon with tits), does this mean he has found his muse?

    He always talks about James Cameron and how he loves his films. I like Bay, he is an enthusiastic director (on his commentaries) and his films are great. Except Pearl Harbor, that didn't work very well... although it wasn't without merit and not as bad as most people say it is. The Rock is his best film, but The Island does look great... but too much like other films, as in THX 1138... actually, it looks exactly like that film. I wonder with Ewan McGregor gets wanked off by a machine while watching a woman on the screen and Scarlett just flicks her bean in the background??? Probably not.
