Ok...that's more like it.

Director Baltasar Kormákur CONTRABAND Interview

Got some last minute word of mouth screening invites for this one. Marky Mark, Giovanni Ribisi and Ben Foster...and moral ambiguity. Could be entertaining.

Please let us know how it is if you go. I thought the trailer looked like it might be pretty solid.

Plus, it's got Kate Beckinsale...

Details About Max's Car, And Pics Other FURY ROAD Vehicles, From The New MAD MAX Film!!
Ain't It Cool News: The best in movie, TV, DVD, and comic book news.

One interesting tidbit from the piece:

Also in the collection are several of Max's own pursuit vehicles, made to resemble the ''Interceptor'', a juiced-up Ford XB GT Falcon coupe driven in the original movie. The number of these vehicles suggests Max's car may again meet a fiery end, as it did in Mad Max 2: Road Warrior.

We've known for a while that scripts for two new MAD MAX adventures - FURY ROAD and FURIOSA - were in existence, but late last year we learned that a third screenplay installment also exists. Meaning that if all goes well with director George Miller's latest undertaking (which it certainly hasn't thus far, given the inordinate number of challenges and delays that've plagued the production thus far), we could end up seeing a trio new MAD MAX films instead of just one.

To the best of my knowledge, we've yet to glean the title of that third script. More as we know more...

Brad Parker to Direct Untitled Action Film for Paramount and Bad Robot

Not a ton of info, but that pedigree is nice...

Paramount and Bad Robot are teaming up once more for an untitled action pic, and they’ve settled on Brad Parker to take the helm. Variety reports that the Diary of Lawson Oxford director has been set to head up the untitled action pic which has J.J. Abrams, Matt Reeves, and Bryan Burk onboard to produce. Plot details are under wraps, but Michael Gilio (Carter Beats the Devil) wrote the script. Parker made his feature directorial debut with the The Diary of Lawson Oxford, a horror film produced by Paranormal Activity helmer Oren Peli. The pic stars Jesse McCartney and is due out sometime next year.

Parker has a rapport with Reeves, as he served as second-unit director on the remake Let Me In. He began a successful career directing commercials in the 1990s, working on spots for Nike, Nintendo, and Sony. Bad Robot most recently produced the super-successful Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol, and is gearing up for production start on Abrams’ sequel to Star Trek.
