Renegade Reverse Engineering - John Woo Style

MankyD writes "Just saw the trailer to a new John Woo film over at apple.com called PayCheck. Written by Phillip K Dick of Blade Runner and Minority Report, its a story about a top notch reverse engineer (Ben Affleck) who, after a quick memory wipe, finds trying to piece together the mystery of his past. It's also got Uma Thurman as the female lead. Unfortunately the website isn't up and running yet, and the premise of the movie seems a little far fetched, but this still ought to be a fun one."

To keep this post on-topic, I will now comment on the article:

This looks like it could be a great film. I was too disappointed in Minority report, but the concept of a reverse engineer with amnesia is amazing! I can't wait to pluck down my 8 bucks to the MPAA.

Should NOT be advertised on slashdot

I won't let my kids watch movies, and I certainly don't watch them either. TV's one thing (Discovery channel, etc.) but I'd rather they read information and learn via the Internet or books than stare at some drug-using immoral Hollywood "stars" as they stumble through their lines on screen while we pay $9 for a ticket and $5 for a Coke and $6 for popcorn.

Spend time outside or something. There's so much more to life, and the Universe, than movies. I blame Slashdot, I blame ThinkGeek, and I blame everyone and anyone who's ever dramatized actors or rockstars or athletes. What ever happened to using one's brain? Society is heading down the tubes. Where are family values? Where are the American jobs?

mmm. . . Astroturfalicous!

C'mon guys, I can see the ad for this movie if I go to the Apple trailers site, a site dedicated to advertising. I don't need to see ads posted as news on this putatively news site. Given the size and interests of /.'s readership, I understand why studios and production companies want to start phoney "grassroots" buzz about their films here, but do the editors really have to accept the story submissions?

Grammar, and Ben-Lo

First, dear god someone get me a supercomputer so I can begin to parse that atrocious sentence.

Second, Ben-Lo's (aka Bennifer) career is done, I don't know why anyone would cast him in anything - he's made a joke of himself.

Umm...

[magores]

Just my opinion, but it is not possible for me to suspend belief long enough, or well enough, to ever believe that Ben Affleck is "l33t".

Total mis-casting.

Next thing you know, someone will get the idea to cast a retarded Texan in the role of President.

No, [...]

[troff]

[...] bullshit! 'Cause I (Ben Affleck) wasn't WITH a hooker today! Ha haaa! ... or... was I...? Maybe if I check my blog...

Re: Chasing Amy was top of his game?

[autopr0n]

It's sad to think that for $15,000 (give or take), I can make a 35 minute short which will be much more entertaining than this (the script is ready, it's nearly completely cast, all we need is a location and financing).

that's a bit presumptuous, isn't it? Maybe your movie would suck? Have you even seen gigli?

Can't wait...

[AlternateSyndicate]

Nothing says BEST MOVIE EVER like an emaciated woman, an uninteresting lead, and lots of doves. Oh and computers. Computers always make great plots... always.

I mean... come on, Swordfish and Antitrust didn't suck that much...

Oh.

Wait.

They did.
