Lockout? Sign Me Up

Morning all,

Is it just me or has there not been a tonne of great news coming out of the movie world lately? It’s probably just me isn’t it? I’ll probably get a whole bunch of links sent over telling me otherwise. Anyways, here’s something to get really excited about. Check out the trailer for Lockout below. Lockout is also referred to as MS One: Maximum Security, but I have no idea why it has two names. Lockout is basically a badass Guy Pierce who goes into space to bring home some important guy’s daughter after she gets stranded in a floating prison… Seriously, if that doesn’t get you going I have no idea what will. Okay, so here’s the real low-down on Lockout. Pierce plays a dude named Snow, who like many an action hero before him, is the best there is, but also a loose cannon. At the end of the day he’s the one that’s going to save everyone, but was there really any doubt? Maggie Grace, you know, the woman who hooked up with Sayid in Lost,  plays the damsel in distress. There’s a bunch of crazy inmates, probably some kind of political strings being pulled and a lot of great action. But here’s the real reason why this is so intriguing to me, Luc Besson had a hand in writing Lockout. Yes that’s right, the same Luc Besson wrote Leon, Taken and The 5th Element. Awesome.
