Fall 2004 Movie Guide

They'll probably butcher it, but this one could have promise:

?A Sound of Thunder?
Starring: Edward Burns, Ben Kingsley, Catherine McCormack
Director: Peter Hyams
The story: Based on a short story by Ray Bradbury and set in the year 2054. Ben Kingsley stars as the manager of a time-travel agency that arranges trips for wealthy people who would like to hunt dinosaurs. But when one traveler accidentally steps on a butterfly, the future as they know it may be irreparably changed. Burns co-stars as the lead dinosaur hunter and McCormick plays the inventor of the time travel technology.
The buzz: Hyams (?End of Days,? ?The Relic?) is a B-level action director who replaced Renny Harlin, originally slated to direct. According to SciFi.com, Harlin was let go when he wanted to remove one of Bradbury?s key elements of the story ? namely the butterfly.

I've only heard baaad stuff about that one. It's a shame -- my 5th grade teacher would play radio versions of Bradbury's stories in class and A Sound of Thunder was always my favorite.

Sorry but Alexander looks as dumb as a door knob. Colin Farrell playing Alexander The Great? LoL. He's trying too hard to be the next Brad Pitt :roll:

Yeah, that story was one of my favorite of the 'Golden Apples of the Sun' when I was younger. The movie will probably be a Netflixer though.

I think 2004 is a bad year for classic SF stories/novels turned movies, what with I, Robot and now this. Although I'm assuming ASOT isn't just a script for an original movie with renamed characters like I, Robot was.
 
?The Ringer?
Starring: Johnny Knoxville, Katherine Heigl, Brian Cox, Zen Gesner, John Taylor, Jed Rees
Director: Barry W. Blaustein
The story: Knoxville (?Jackass?) stars as a guy who, when desperate for cash, decides to pretend he?s physically challenged to rig the Special Olympics. Knoxville finds that even though he?s not physically challenged, he?s no match for the other special Olympians.




:shocked:
