DVD Collectors Online

I just saw the trailer for this online for the first time. It looks like a post apocalyptic action film. Kind of reminds me of the latest Fallout game.  It stars Denzel Washington and Gary Oldman. I am pretty excited to see Washington and Oldman go head to head. 

Any thoughts?

I saw the trailer when I went to see Surrogates.  Not sure if I want to see the movie or not yet.  Maybe.

It looked pretty cool when I saw the trailer on the net, I think i may go an see it when it comes out, depends what else is out at the time.

So it's similar to The Road as well...? From what I have heard The Road is similar to Fallout (3) as well. (Great game, by the way. I recently sold it and am now waiting for my copy of the Game of the Year Edition.)

Weird how sometimes films come out in pairs (Full Metal Jacket vs. Platoon; Armageddon vs. Deep Impact; etc.).

Your right it doesn't seem to take long before a copycat appears. As of right now I am looking forward to both "The Road" and "The Book of Eli". Both have great actors and look really good.

Didn't that just happen with Paul Blart and Observe and Report? 

iven the time it takes to create a movie it's often more freak coincidence rather than copying the other one. E.g.: I would not suspect neither Kubrick nor Stone to making a copycat film of the other...


Paul Blart the Mall Cop? And there is a film with similar theme to that?

Yeah, there is a movie called Observe and Report that stars Seth Rogan. Its a comedy about a mall security guard too.  

I did read somewhere that Observe and Report was actually made first and got shelved for some reason.
