As you also said in an earlier post (the one with the dog and cat), it would also be hilarious with the Benny Hill music.

looks like a remake of 'the langoliers'.

With the awesome parodies/tributes just for the trailers alone, this film might be a lot of fun -- a guilty, very guilty pleasure for sure.

So... this (the real film not the parody) is pretty much Tedious Video Game Cutscene: The Movie, now with 300% more green screen reaction shots. I'd feel sorry for the actors if I didn't know about the dump trucks full of money.

It will be. It's primo *Mystery Science Theater 3000* material. I'll post my review as soon as I can.
I've been thinking it would be fun to post my own MP3 commentary tracks for DVDs, a la how the Rifftrax guys are doing it -- this might be the movie to start with, when it comes out on DVD. And when I can find more hours in the day.

I will forgive John Cusack, as long as he uses the shitload of money they surely paid him for this to make more movies like *Grace Is Gone* and *War, Inc.*, which made nothing but are fascinating in interesting ways, even if they don't entirely succeed.
*2012* doesn't succeed, either, of course, not really, but it cost a helluva lot more to make, and it doesn't attempt to say anything at all. But no one with any power in Hollywood will care about how stupid it is when it opens to $75 million (which it will).
Cusack is a smart guy, I think. (I hope. I missed my chance to do the NYC press day for the film, where I would have been able to meet him for the first time.) I really don't want to imagine him as someone who can be creatively satisfied making movies like this. I really do want to imagine him as someone who takes Hollywood for as much as he can in order to make the kinds of movies he really wants to make.
