The Taking of Pelham 123

It's usually a bad thing when a hangover lingers longer than expected (not that we would know, or anything...), but for Hollywood it means box office gold.

The Hangover was the top earning movie for the second weekend in a row, taking in $33.4 million for a total of $105.4 million so far.

Disney/Pixar's Up was a close second with $30.5 million. This weekend's big new film, the John Travolta and Denzel Washington vehicle The Taking of Pelham 123 came in third with a disappointing $25 million. 

It requires a certain caliber of actor to make a film centered on a phone call riveting, but that’s exactly what Denzel Washington and John Travolta do in Tony Scott’s latest film, The Taking of Pelham 123.

After four films together, Crimson Tide, Man on Fire, Deja Vu and this summer’s The Taking of Pelham 123 (which looks awesome), Denzel Washington is reteaming with director Tony Scott for a fifth time.

The pair is reportedly in talks for a new movie, Unstoppable.

Hey, if it ain’t broke…

Unstoppable is reportedly about an engineer who jumps on a train to chase down a runaway locomotive transporting a cargo of toxic chemicals. Supposedly, it’s loosely based on a true story.
