<p><a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/tony-scott">Tony Scott</a>&#8216;s<strong> </strong><em><strong>Top Gun</strong></em> was released in 1986 and was the most successful film of that year. It launched <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/Tom-Cruise">Tom Cruise </a>into leading man status (or at least cemented it post-<em><strong>Risky Business</strong></em>), and also featured <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/val-kilmer">Val Kilmer</a>, Anthony Edwards, and a host of young actors like <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/Meg-ryan">Meg Ryan </a>and <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/tim-robbins">Tim Robbins. </a>It was the ultimate example of the Jerry Bruckheimer/Don Simpson vehicle &#8211; slick, formulaic, but winning. But does the film has a lasting legacy? We&#8217;ll see in 2012 when the film is <a href="http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/top-gun-coming-theaters-3d-234032">supposed to be released</a> in 3-D.</p>
<p><span id="more-153839"></span></p>
<p>There are two things about this that are kind of strange. One is that the post-converted old movies thing doesn&#8217;t seem like much of a trick. <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/star-wars"><em><strong>The Phantom Menace</strong></em> </a>and <em><strong>Titanic</strong></em> are due out in the near future, but we&#8217;re yet to see if audiences respond to this treatment of older films. and this is after the numbers on 3-D films have steadily decreased since the release of <em><strong>Avatar</strong></em>.</p>
<p>The other interesting thing is that though the film has a fanbase &#8211; and is definitely part of the pop culture consciousness &#8211; as a film it doesn&#8217;t seem to be all that special outside of its success. Perhaps it has a stronger following in the sports and military communities (the film helped boost recruitment numbers when it was released), but sequels and remakes have yet to happen, and the film is charming but not &#8220;great.&#8221; Perhaps it&#8217;s unfair to compare its fanbase to genre fans &#8211; who are a very vocal community. We&#8217;ll see if the film has a following if/when the post conversion release happens. If so it would seemingly open the door for post-conversions of films like <em><strong>Speed</strong></em> or <em><strong>Men in Black</strong></em>.</p>
<p><strong>Do you feel the need&#8230; the need for speed?</strong></p>

<p>Denzel Washington and Tony Scott join forces again for the fifth time to make an action film that lives up to its title. <strong><em>Unstoppable</em></strong> is the non-stop action ride you&#8217;re expecting from the duo, with all the explosions, chase scenes, sexy ladies made to appear as &#8220;regular&#8221; every day women, with one attractive, new-comer to pull in the young-bloods. I think there&#8217;s almost no doubt that this film will in fact be unstoppable at the box office.</p>
<p>That being said, does it live up to all the expectations? Find out now&#8230;</p>
<p><span id="more-117789"></span></p>
<h2>Players:</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Director</strong>: <a href="http://screencrave.com/person/tony-scott/">Tony Scott</a> (<a href="http://screencrave.com/2010-11-10/denzel-washington-chris-pine-tony-scott-rosario-dawson-talk-unstoppable/">read interview</a>)</li>
<li><strong>Writer</strong>: Mark Bomback</li>
<li><strong>Actors</strong>: <a href="http://screencrave.com/person/denzel-washington/">Denzel Washington</a>, <a href="http://screencrave.com/person/Chris-Pine/">Chris Pine</a>, <a href="http://screencrave.com/person/rosario-dawson/">Rosario Dawson</a> (<a href="http://screencrave.com/2010-11-10/denzel-washington-chris-pine-tony-scott-rosario-dawson-talk-unstoppable/">read cast interview</a>)</li>
<li><strong>Original Music by: </strong>Harry Gregson-Williams</li>
<li><strong>Cinematography by</strong>: Ben Seresin</li>
</ul>
<h2>The Plot:</h2>
<p><em>Unstoppable</em> is the story about an old veteran train conductor (Washington) who’s about to become the victim of company lay offs due to cutbacks. Pine plays the newbie to the crew, who all the old guys hate because he&#8217;s been hired to take their jobs away. The pair are forced into a life or death situation when they have to divert a runaway train carrying a shipment of toxic chemicals headed straight towards them, schools, children, horses, cows, and anything else Scott could come up with for a train to destroy.</p>
<h2>The Good:</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Denzel</strong>: However silly a plot line may be or a character written &#8211; he has a way of bringing them to life and adding that charisma that always makes you like him despite what&#8217;s going on in the film.</li>
<li><strong>Action Sequences</strong>: If there&#8217;s one thing Tony Scott knows how to do, it&#8217;s action &#8211; which is off for such a soft spoken Englishman. He does a great job at building tension and shooting action scenes in ways that we haven&#8217;t seen before.</li>
<li><strong>The Pace:</strong> If there is one thing this film isn&#8217;t lacking it&#8217;s speed. From the moment it starts the film sets a fast pace keeps it going until <em>after</em> the credits finish. From the fast paced camera movements, to the real life speeding train, this film is literally a non-stop action-ride that won&#8217;t stop even if you want it to.</li>
</ul>
<h2>The Bad:</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>The Story</strong>: Why is it that they only ever try any solution once? Give it a few chances before you throw it out the window! In the end they wind up saving the day with the first idea they had but it takes them SOOOO long to finally do it. It doesn&#8217;t really make sense as to why they had to wait and why it takes a guy with a huge truck and a handle-bar mustache to pull it all off.</li>
<li><strong>The Cliches</strong>: There was just one cliche after another, from the corporate guys playing golf to the hard-working older guy with a wife who has just died. There is nothing new in this film at all aside from the fact that this time they&#8217;re on a train instead of a subway car, a bus or in a car.</li>
<li><strong>Substance</strong>: The actors did their best to bring a sense of heart to the characters they played, but it&#8217;s hard to see past the non-stop action, and manipulative, emotional setups to really engage with them and their experience.</li>
<li><strong>No Real Danger:</strong> Because we&#8217;ve seen this film so many times before, despite the fact that they came up with<em> some </em>twists, there was nothing new about this film so from the moment we meet our characters we know they&#8217;re going to make it to the end and therefore never really worry about the dying in the 50 different ways Tony Scott has laid before them. Without them being fallible we can&#8217;t engage in their story.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Funny Side-Notes:</h2>
<ul>
<li>Watch for the badger that crosses the tracks right before the train hits the horse trailer. It not only shows how fast the train is really going, but it&#8217;s also something you can tell probably slipped into the shot my accident but is one of those perfect blunders. The badger gives one hell of a performance to boot.</li>
<li>In the scene when Chris Pine&#8217;s character appears to be getting pelleted by &#8220;rocks&#8221; they actually used sugar coated cereal which all the local deer would clean up nightly for the crew.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Overall:</h2>
<p>So yes, this film did live up to expectations, it&#8217;s yet another Tony Scott action film through and through. It&#8217;s got one long chase seen from start to finish and that&#8217;s probably the best part about it. I noticed people around me enjoying the film far more than I, which leads me to wonder if this is just not the right film for me. If you like Tony Scott and all his past films and don&#8217;t feel like renting <em>Domino</em>, <em>Days of Thunder</em>,<em> True Romance </em>(probably his best film), <em>Spy Game</em> (not a bad one), or <em>The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3</em> you&#8217;ll probably love this &#8212; it&#8217;s exactly what you&#8217;ve some to love, nothing more and nothing less.</p>
<h2>Rating: 5.5/0</h2>
<p><strong><em>Unstoppable</em></strong> in theaters November 12th!</p>

<p>Last week we spoke with <a href="http://screencrave.com/person/Denzel-Washington/">Denzel Washington</a>, <a href="http://screencrave.com/person/Chris-Pine/">Chris Pine</a>, <a href="http://screencrave.com/person/Rosario-Dawson/">Rosario Dawson</a> and director <a href="http://screencrave.com/person/Tony-Scott/">Tony Scott</a> about their upcoming, non-stop, action-thrill-ride, <strong><em>Unstoppable</em></strong>. This commences the fifth time that Washington and Scott have joined forces to create a movie together. It seems like as long as you have these two together, add a few explosions, a chase scene, a sexy lady (dressed to make her look like a &#8220;regular girl&#8221; &#8211; tip boys, Rosario Dawson will NEVER look average), and you are in fact unstoppable at the box office! Throw in a sexy new-comer and you&#8217;ve got it made.</p>
<p>Check out the interview with the cast and director below&#8230;</p>
<p><span id="more-116266"></span></p>
<p><strong>Dialogue and lingo, was it all in the script or did actors do additional research?</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>Tony Scott: I like to give validation with the lingo, we put that in the script, sometimes we embellish it and sometimes we trim it back.</p>
<p>Rosario Dawson: I think that falls into the research category, I spent a lot of time talking to Marin Alexander who we had chosen to be the background person for Connie’s background. We drilled her, she was constantly talking to Tony, we’d go over the transcripts. A lot of time we’d ask her, “what does this mean?” so I knew what I was talking about…also the energy behind it. Is this important, is this not important? Because all of it, as technical as it sounds, sounds really huge – but she’d be like, that’s actually pretty simple, don’t emphasize that.</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>Tony, what was more challenging for you on this film – to shoot or edit?</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>Tony Scott: Shoot. I love the challenge. This is the biggest invention of my life. We did major stunts, it was a very dangerous movie to shoot. If you so happened to be looking the wrong way at the wrong time…my goal was to not be inhibited by “NO IDEA til 3:25” and then, you gotta watch it at the same time and don’t get in the way of the performance of the guys. But I think shooting in real life situation helps actors, because they’re competing against the noise and the wind and with that comes mistakes or things that shift and change.</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>Denzel, do you enjoy playing average guys?</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>Denzel Washington: Wasn&#8217;t that average of a guy. I don’t know what that means, so I don’t worry about that. There’s nothing average about someone who can control a 100 thousand ton machine, make it stop or risk his life to do it. I’m not the average guy. What they did was not average. I don’t look at it that way – like you put him in a slot before you start.</p></blockquote>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-117068 aligncenter" title="unstoppable11-1-10-b" src="http://screencrave.frsucrave.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/unstoppable11-1-10-b.jpg" alt="unstoppable11 1 10 b Interview: Denzel Washington, Chris Pine, Tony Scott, Rosario Dawson talk Unstoppable " width="500" height="333" /></p>
<p><strong>Chris was there anything interesting thing you learned from real workers?</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>Chris Pine: It was interesting and frightening when we went to the rail yard in LA, they said the most dangerous thing isn’t out on the track, it’s in the yard &#8211; Because the trains can be so quiet and seemingly innocuous, but of course they’re thousand ton beasts. I remember this one guy telling the story that this guy got surprised on the track, and the train was only going 3 or 4 miles per hour and pinned the guy. And they had to call the family out because the guy was still alive as he was pinned, they said their goodbyes, and the train separates from the guy, he passed away…I mean, that’s how dangerous these things are. Everyone we talked to had an experience, whether it was a conductor or engineer, with life and death stuff. People trying to cross the tracks, there’s no emergency stop button – a lot of people have experience traumatic events.</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>Denzel Washington: It was great to get to drive the train. Everything on them hurts. You know? You step, you hit your knee&#8230; It was dangerous all the time. I was always more nervous because Chris and I were looking forward, and you have all these guys n the platform going 50 mph, we could see what was coming – they couldn’t. It was just trippy. I couldn’t imagine making this movie on green screens.</p>
<p>Chris Pine: It’s a credit to Tony, really. Everything was practical. Not only were we on trains, on the tracks moving &#8212; we had 2 trains, one train that looked like the train, that one was chopped up so that cab could be circled by this 360 camera so we could run scenes over and over again and feel like we were driving the train and not be hindered, and run the scene. It was such a freedom and a liberty to be able to do that.</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>Was that really both of you running on the trains?</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>Chris Pine: I didn’t have a stunt man.</p>
<p>Denzel Washington: I had seven. I remember reading it way back and thinking why does the other guy get to jump on the train? I want to be that guy. And we kept working on the material and then I started thinking… I shouldn’t be the guy jumping – Chris should be! I see why he’s the guy! We had very experienced stuntmen, the guys that did <em>Casino Royale</em>…</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>Tony Scott: [Denzel] has a fear of heights. So we had him up at 25 ft on a 50 mph train, it wasn’t an easy task to get him up there. Chris was down there between the two trains, it’s actually sugar puffs, the potato flakes…what we want is a snow storm, and I thought we can’t have a snow storm this time of year. We re-created a rain storm with sugar puffs and potatoes.</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>What was the hardest scene to shoot?</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>Tony Scott: The scene when I’m dealing with performances, when I’m actually looking at the guys and hoping I’m covering them the right way. This is about two guys resolving their difference through the course of this journey &#8211; which is great. You’ve got the beast, you’ve got the guys coming to terms with who they are and their differences. It’s great in terms of the drama of these two different worlds.</p></blockquote>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-117069 aligncenter" title="Unstoppable-Close-Up-Denzel-Washington-24-8-10-kc" src="http://screencrave.frsucrave.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Unstoppable-Close-Up-Denzel-Washington-24-8-10-kc.jpg" alt="Unstoppable Close Up Denzel Washington 24 8 10 kc Interview: Denzel Washington, Chris Pine, Tony Scott, Rosario Dawson talk Unstoppable " width="499" height="313" /></p>
<p><strong>Denzel you’ve worked with Tony five times, what is it about him that keeps you coming back and do you feel like you have a short-hand with one another now?</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>Denzel Washington: I learn and know that I cannot do what he does – what he does is make films. I’ve directed a couple of films but it’s got nothing to do with what he’s doing. I’ve learned so much from him. There’s obviously a short hand, he knows how I like to work, I know what he likes to do. He knows I like research, so he’s gonna have a ton of stuff long before we start…things like that.</p>
<p>There’s never been complacency –both of us are always reaching for something different, we never repeat ourselves. Every movie I do, every day I go to work I say how I look at this world and these characters in a different way. Denzel does the same – he reaches back inside of himself and finds a different aspect of his personality. Every character is very different.<strong> </strong></p></blockquote>
<p><strong>Chris, you must be dealing with offers of a different scale after <em>Star Trek</em>, how are you choosing roles?</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>Chris Pine: I’ve been very blessed and it’s such a shock to me that I get to sit and have people ask questions and seem interested in who I am and what I do. To answer your question, it’s afforded me the luxury of choice, to cherry pick for I don’t know how long but I’m in a time right now where I can at least say yes and no to certain things. I think the guiding principle to me is working with people – is seizing the moment – working with people who I want to work it. That’s Tony, that’s Rosario, that’s Denzel…</p></blockquote>

<p><strong>Rosario, your character is under a lot of stress but handles it collectedly- can you talk about creating your character?<br />
</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>Rosario I think there was something really amazing that we had the opportunity to create with her. There’s a lot of clichés about a woman in a man’s world, about a woman with high power and how she should behave. We walked that line very well and were very clear about what we wanted Connie to come across as: someone very sensible and very capable. Not a woman in a man’s world, just the right woman for a very stressful situation.</p>
<p>Tony Scott: When she goes in the bathroom we see how she’s really feeling. That moment was carefully put in there. So you could actually access what was really going on – the rest of the time it was cool, calm, and collected.</p>
<p>Rosario Dawson: We had conversations [about how she was to expresses] the frustration of being in this control room miles away from where this action is and how you just wanted to show as calm and collected as she is if she could physically propel herself out a window and pull the lever on the train, she would. I think that was something we really played with to show how her levels of emotions were – it is a high stress situation, because she’s in charge. Your options disappear as the time goes by. You don’t have time to freak out, you have to do the next thing that’s going to save lives.</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>How much time did you spend with people you were playing?</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>Chris Pine: Yes, Terry and Jess came here and we went to the pig and whistle and had a couple beers, talked. It was great to get a sense of – their dynamic in real life, they were married together for a while in the sense that they were conductor and engineer together. They were the couple. What’s really interesting is that hierarchy in the train is very real – those guys that are old heads and have been around for a long time demand a certain level of respect. Just because the newbie’s gone to school and learned to do his job doesn’t mean he knows all the ins and outs of the job in practicality. They told the story of the newbie coming in and pressing his luck, trying to show the old guys how it was done…he was in for a world of hurt.</p></blockquote>

<p>We thought we were done with this! A couple weeks ago we <a href="http://screencrave.com/2010-10-14/tom-cruise-gearing-up-for-top-gun-2/">reported</a> that<a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/top-gun/"><strong><em> Top Gun 2</em></strong></a> might be in the pipeline for director<a href="http://screencrave.com/person/Tony-Scott"> Tony Scott,</a> producer<a href="http://screencrave.com/person/Jerry-Bruckheimer"> Jerry Bruckheimer</a>, and star <a href="http://screencrave.com/person/Tom-Cruise">Tom Cruise</a>. What started out as speculation has been confirmed by Scott, who says the sequel is in the works and he&#8217;s locked and loaded!</p>
<p><span id="more-115700"></span></p>
<p>According to <a href="http://www.hitfix.com/articles/exclusive-tony-scott-doesnt-want-a-remake-or-reinvention-for-top-gun-2">HitFix</a>, Scott has confirmed that he&#8217;s on board with <em>Top Gun 2</em> but the film is very much in its early stages. As we previously reported, the film would have Maverick depressed and disappointed at the current state of <em>Top Gun</em>. Sources claim that screenwriter <a href="http://screencrave.com/person/Christopher-McQuarrie">Christopher McQuarrie</a> has spoken with Cruise about reprising his role, and he said  he would do it as long as it wasn’t too “obvious.”</p>
<p>Scott says the story will center on the modern day Air Force, which doesn&#8217;t really give us a lot of info regarding the plot. He just said he was inspired by &#8220;These computer geeks &#8212; these kids play war games in a trailer in  Fallon, Nevada and if we ever went to war or were in the Middle East or  the Far East or wherever it is, these guys can actually fly drones.  They are unmanned aircraft.  They operate them and then they party all  night.&#8221;</p>
<p>We&#8217;re not sure what that means, but it sounds like he wants to get these young men and women out of the classroom and into the air. We can&#8217;t say that we&#8217;re %100 ecstatic about this sequel, but we&#8217;ll take anything that keeps Scott away from runaway trains, buses, and cars.</p>
<p><strong>What do you think of Scott returning for Top Gun 2?</strong></p>

<p>The first trailer for <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/Tony-Scott">Tony Scott</a> and <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/Denzel-Washington">Denzel Washington&#8217;s</a> umpteenth collaboration has been released and it&#8217;s called <strong><em>Man on Fire</em></strong>, we mean <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/The-Taking-of-Pelham-123"><strong><em>The Taking of Pelham 123</em></strong></a>, no we mean <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/Unstoppable"><em><strong>Unstoppable</strong></em></a>. Yes, it&#8217;s <em>Unstoppable</em> and it co-stars <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/Chris-Pine">Chris Pine</a>. It&#8217;s one of those movies where the older, more experienced character has to take the young buck under their wing to show them the way. And in this case, if Pine&#8217;s character doesn&#8217;t learn quickly he&#8217;ll end up dead. Take a look at the trailer&#8230;</p>
<p><span id="more-100190"></span></p>
<p><img src="http://screencrave.com/wp-content/plugins/flash-video-player/default_video_player.gif" title="Denzel Washington, Chris Pine in Unstoppable Trailer" alt="default video player Denzel Washington, Chris Pine in Unstoppable Trailer" /></p>
<p>The trailer for <em>Unstoppable</em> pretty much proves that Tony Scott has lost his mind. He can take a simple premise about two guys trying to stop a train crash and turn it into something ridiculously fantastical. Fantastical to a fault! We have 8 freight cars of hazardous chemicals plowing through a town with school children, farm animals, and buildings, and somehow Washington&#8217;s character is acting like this is a typical day on the job.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s also <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/Rosario-Dawson">Rosario Dawson</a> playing a tight under the collar agent trying to contain this runaway train but unfortunately she&#8217;s surrounded by idiots. This movie really makes small town people look bad. After watching this trailer, we&#8217;ve come to the conclusion that <em>Unstoppable</em> needs to be stopped.</p>
<p>The film rams into theaters on November 12th.</p>
<p><strong>What do you think of the first trailer for Unstoppable? Are you interested in seeing the movie?</strong></p>

<p>A while ago we learned that<a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/Shia-Labeouf"> Shia LaBeouf </a>was set to star in a legal drama in the long running John Grisham films series. The movie is called<a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/The-Associate"><strong><em> The Associate</em></strong></a>, and it&#8217;s been a while since we&#8217;ve heard anything about it besides the actor&#8217;s casting. According to a report from <a href="http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/movies/2010/08/tony-scott-john-grisham-the-associate-shia-labeouf.html"><em>The Los Angeles Times</em></a>, it may have finally landed a director in the form of <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/Tony-Scott">Tony Scott</a>.</p>
<p><span id="more-99916"></span></p>
<p>Their sources claim that Scott is only a few steps away from helming the novel adaptation, which is a conspiracy-thriller (no surprise there) that&#8217;s been set up at Paramount for a while. We learned back in December of 2008 that LaBeouf would <a href="http://screencrave.com/2008-12-02/news-shia-labeouf-is-the-associate/">play the lead</a>, and then a couple months later that <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/William-Monahan ">William Monahan </a>would <a href="http://screencrave.com/2009-02-17/william-monahan-to-adapt-the-associate/#more-11281">pen the screenplay</a>.</p>
<p>Almost two years have passed and we&#8217;re just now hearing talk of a director, which is strange considering the amount of talent attached including super-producer <strong>Lorenzo Di Bonaventura.</strong> Even though Scott&#8217;s deal hasn&#8217;t been confirmed, it&#8217;s said to be in the works. <em>The Associate</em> is about &#8220;a young lawyer blackmailed into taking a job at a high-profile firm to pass along secrets to a shady defense contractor.&#8221;</p>
<p>Who wants to see LaBeouf running around in a suit all day trying to escape a higher power? Wait a minute, wasn&#8217;t that <em><strong>Eagle Eye? </strong></em>Hold on, we might be remembering a scene from the <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/wall-street-2"><strong><em>Wall Street Money Never Sleeps </em></strong></a>trailer.</p>
<p><strong>Do you think Scott should direct The Associate?</strong></p>

<p><a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/Tony-Scott ">Tony Scott </a>has been developing a big screen adaptation of the book <strong><em>Hells Angels</em></strong> for the past few years but it&#8217;s taken a back seat to some of his more recent projects like the upcoming action flick, <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/Unstoppable"><em><strong>Unstoppable</strong></em></a>. According to <a href="http://www.deadline.com/2010/05/mickey-rourke-in-talks-for-double-feature-with-tony-scott/#more-38382">Deadline</a> there&#8217;s been some movement on the <em>Angels</em> front that involves the casting of Oscar nominee<a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/Mickey-Rourke"> Mickey Rourke</a> and one of the stars from <strong><em>Transformers</em></strong>.</p>
<p><span id="more-82676"></span></p>
<p>According to the site Fox 2000 is currently in negotiations with Rourke to star as <strong>Sonny Barger</strong>, the founder of the famous Oakland Hells Angels Motorcycle Club. Last year it was revealed that Scott and <strong>Stephen Gaghan </strong>were developing the film&#8217;s script and now we&#8217;ve learned that <strong>Scott Frank </strong>has been brought in for rewrites.</p>
<p>Besides Rourke, sources are saying that Shia Labeouf&#8217;s name is also being thrown around for a part. We don&#8217;t know how and we don&#8217;t know why but it&#8217;s out there. Even though Rourke doesn&#8217;t look anything like Barger we can buy him as an ex-con and a biker. Labeouf on the other hand is questionable.

<p><a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/tony-scott/" target="_blank">Tony Scott</a>, director of films like <strong><em>Top Gun</em><span style="font-weight: normal;">, </span></strong><strong><em>Days of Thunder</em><span style="font-weight: normal;">,</span></strong> and <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/the-taking-of-pelham-1-2-3"><em><strong>The</strong></em> <em><strong>Taking of Pelham 1 2 3</strong> </em></a>remake (i.e.: he’s the guy that makes older brother <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/ridley-scott" target="_blank">Ridley Scott</a> say, “Dude, what’s <em>wrong</em> with you?”), is setting his sights on his next film, a long-gestating passion project elegantly-titled <em><strong>Potzdamer Platz</strong></em><strong>.</strong></p>
<p><span id="more-76473"></span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.deadline.com/2010/04/scott-plots-potsdamer-platz-with-javier-bardem-jason-statham-and-mickey-rourke/?utm_source=twitterfeed&amp;utm_medium=twitter" target="_blank">Deadline</a> is reporting that the film, set to star <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/javier-bardem/" target="_blank">Javier Bardem</a>, <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/jason-statham/" target="_blank">Jason Statham</a> and <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/mickey-rourke/" target="_blank">Mickey Rourke</a>, tells of tale of “two soldiers in a New Jersey-based crime family who try to expand internationally.”  It sounds fairly interesting, albeit a little vague; however, it can’t really be any worse than anything Scott’s done in the past (I’m looking at you <strong><em>The Last Boy Scout</em></strong>, <strong><em>The Fan</em></strong>, and <em><strong>Domino</strong></em>).</p>
<p>Even further, the site goes on to report that the director is trying to get his <strong><em>Crimson Tide</em></strong> star <strong>Gene Hackman</strong> out of retirement (Hackman hasn’t acted since the horrors of the 2004 <strong>Ray Romano</strong> vehicle, <strong><em>Welcome to Mooseport</em></strong>). Though not likely to happen, it would be nice to see Hackman act one last time and not with the star of a defunct CBS sitcom.</p>
<p>Having worked and developed the <em>Platz</em> script/ project since 2000, Scott is currently shopping it to financiers and studios—expect it to be the follow-up to his fall film, <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/unstoppable" target="_blank"><em><strong>Unstoppable</strong></em></a>, starring <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/denzel-washington" target="_blank">Denzel Washington</a>.</p>
<p><strong>What do you think? Are you looking forward to this new project?</strong></p>

<p>What in the world does the younger Scott brother have up his sleeve? Earlier this morning we told you about <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/ridley-scott">Ridley Scott</a>&#8216;s desire to work on the <a href="http://screencrave.com/2009-10-29/ridley-scott-talks-alien-prequel-timeline/">prequel</a> to the sci-fi classic, <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/alien"><strong><em>Alien</em></strong></a>. Now we&#8217;ve learned via Variety, that his sibling<a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/tony-scott"> Tony Scott</a> wants to direct a film that centers on Chippendale dancers!</p>
<p><span id="more-45834"></span></p>
<p>The trade is reporting that Scott is attached to direct a film based on the rise and fall of &#8220;Steve Banerjee, the man responsible for creating Chippendales, who was consumed by excess and competition when the male strip clubs became a phenomenon in the 1980s.&#8221; He will also serve as a producer on the film, that will have a script written by Lisa Schrager.</p>
<p>Oddly enough, Schrager also penned the screenplay for the Paramount based Heidi Fleiss story entitled, <strong><em>Pay the Girl</em></strong> and a Universal feature called, <strong><em>Gangsta Bitches</em></strong>. I&#8217;m starting to see a theme with her work, and it looks like a Chippendales movie is right up her alley. The film&#8217;s story will follow the humble roots of Steve Banerjee from a gas station attendant to a nightclub owner, who eventually becomes the founder of the famous dance troupe.</p>
<p>Similar to the tone of Scott&#8217;s previous film<em><strong> </strong></em><strong><em>True Romance</em></strong>, this story will take a darker turn when it examines the paranoia that took over Banerjee&#8217;s life. He eventually hired a hit-man to murder his top choreographer when negotiations went south, a move that landed him in jail where he stayed until his death.</p>
<p>How depressing?! Chippendales was all the rage back in the day. Remember the famous<a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/patrick-swayze"> Patrick Swayze</a> skit from <em>SNL</em> with <strong>Chris Farley</strong>? The male strippers made a way into main stream media without being overtly offensive, just oily and tan. This is a brave move for Scott considering his last few films have been carbon copies of each other.</p>
<p><strong>What do you think of Tony Scott take on the Chippendales story?</strong></p>

<p>Oh how the tide has changed! I remember when there was speculation about whether or not <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/tony-scott"><strong>Tony Scott</strong></a>&#8216;s <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/unstoppable"><em><strong>Unstoppable</strong></em></a> would get made. Now, Fox is throwing in cast members left and right. The film is headlined by <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/denzel-washington"><strong>Denzel Washington</strong></a> and <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/star-trek"><em><strong>Star Trek&#8217;s </strong></em></a><a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/chris-pine"><strong>Chris Pine</strong></a>. Just yesterday we reported on actress <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/rosario-dawson"><strong>Rosario Dawson</strong></a> joining the cast, and now two more actors have hitched a ride on this train. Find out more on the story below.</p>
<p><span id="more-33557"></span></p>
<p>According to THR,<strong> Kevin Dunn</strong> and <strong>Jessy Schram</strong> have signed on to co-star in <em>Unstoppable</em>. Schram will star opposite Pine as his estranged wife, while Dunn will play the boss of Dawson&#8217;s train dispatcher character. The film is scheduled to start production this fall in Pittsburgh. Mark Bomback wrote the screenplay that Scott will direct from, while Julie Yorn is producing alongside Scott and Mimi Rogers</p>
<p>The story focuses on a veteran train conductor who’s about to become the victim of company lay offs due to cutbacks. Pine will star as the young engineer who’s been hired to take his place. The pair are forced into a life or death situation when they have to divert a runaway train carrying a shipment of toxic chemicals headed straight towards them.</p>
<p>Most of you probably remember Dunn as the father of Sam Witwicky in both <em><strong>Transformers</strong></em> films. He&#8217;s a well known character actor who I absolutely love. I&#8217;ve seen the man do drama and comedy without a single hiccup. I like to see people with actual talent get steady work.</p>
<p><strong>What do you think of the latest additions to the Unstoppable cast?</strong></p>

<p>The <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/tony-scott"><strong>Tony Scott</strong></a> action-thriller <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/unstoppable/"><em><strong>Unstoppable</strong></em></a> is just that. This movie was put in production, then halted, and now it&#8217;s back again and with a new cast member. According to <a href="http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=58175">ComingSoon</a>, <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/rosario-dawson"><strong>Rosario Dawson</strong></a> has signed on to co-star in the film. If you&#8217;ve been following the story of this project then you know it reads like a train wreck. Find out what Ms. Dawson has just gotten herself into below.</p>
<p><span id="more-33103"></span></p>
<p><em>Unstoppable</em> co-stars <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/denzel-washington"><strong>Denzel Washington</strong></a> and <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/star-trek"><em><strong>Star Trek</strong></em></a> alum, <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/chris-pine"><strong>Chris Pine</strong></a>. The story focuses on a veteran train conductor who’s about to become the victim of company lay offs due to cutbacks. Pine will star as the young engineer who’s been hired to take his place. The pair are forced into a life or death situation when they have to divert a runaway train carrying a shipment of toxic chemicals headed straight towards them.</p>
<p>If this sounds like every other Tony Scott film it should, because it does fit that infamous format. Yet, after he tried it out with this year&#8217;s <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/the-taking-of-pelham-1-2-3"><em><strong>The Taking of Pelham 123,</strong></em></a> the studio got a little scared. The film bombed and they wanted to cut back <em>Unstoppable</em>&#8216;s budget BIG time. Washington decided to walk, because he wasn&#8217;t willing to take a pay cut.</p>
<p>Fox asked the actor to shave 4 million dollars off of his 20 million price tag and he declined. They also asked Scott to reduce his 9 million directors fee to 6 million, as well as other various price cuts. Their overall goal is to bring the film’s budget down from the initial 107 million to the low 90 million dollar range.</p>
<p>After a few negotiations here and there, the film has been put back on the right track and Denzel, Chris, and now Rosario are all in tow. No specifics have been released about Dawson&#8217;s character, but I&#8217;m assuming she&#8217;ll be on the train at some point. It&#8217;s a broad guess, but I think I&#8217;m right.</p>
<p><strong>What do you think about the lastest casting addition to Unstoppable?</strong></p>

<p>Has <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/denzel-washington"><strong>Denzel Washington</strong></a> gotten sick of riding the <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/tony-scott"><strong>Tony Scott</strong></a> merry-go-round? Washington was signed on to star in the upcoming action thriller <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/unstoppable"><em><strong>Unstoppable</strong></em></a>, but according to <a href="http://weblogs.variety.com/bfdealmemo/2009/07/washington-gets-off-the-train.html">Variety</a> that train will never leave the station. Sources are stating that the actor officially withdrew himself from the film after waiting three months for the go ahead from 20th Century Fox. The studio is financing the film, but has been taking their sweet time to come up with a finalized budget.</p>
<p><span id="more-27107"></span></p>
<p>Many things factored in to Fox&#8217;s reservations regarding <em>Unstoppable&#8217;s </em>budget. The first thing being the poor box office reception that the previous Washington- Scott film, <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/the-taking-of-pelham-1-2-3"><em><strong>The Taking of Pelham 123</strong></em></a> produced. In an attempt to avoid another disappointment the studio has been cutting costs left and right. Apparently they asked Washington to shave 4 million dollars off of his 20 million price tag and he declined. They also asked Scott to reduce his 9 million directors fee to 6 million, as well as other various price cuts. Their overall goal is to bring the film&#8217;s budget down from the initial 107 million to the low 90 million dollar range.</p>
<p>Washington was set to star as a veteran train conductor opposite <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/chris-pine"><strong>Chris Pine</strong></a> as his young replacement. The two men would be forced to work together in an attempt to stop a run away train filled with chemical cargo. It&#8217;s not like we haven&#8217;t seen this plot before, so it&#8217;s not as if Washington walked away from anything special. It sucks for Pine to have lost such a talented co-star to work with so early in his career, but I&#8217;m sure they&#8217;ll find a replacement. Fox hasn&#8217;t given up on the film, and are still trying to make it work. I personally think Washington made the right choice. I don&#8217;t know how many more Tony Scott films I can watch with him at the center playing the same character, he&#8217;s so much better than that.</p>
<p><strong>Do you think Washington made the right choice by leaving Unstoppable?</strong></p>
