Tony Scott
See It or Skip It: The Taking of Pelham 123
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.
Vast and vacuous; that was the void Duncan Jones discovered when he set out to make his directorial debut, Moon, starring Sam Rockwell. The movie pays homage to the films writer-director Jones and Rockwell watched and loved as children of the 1970s.
“Outland, Silent Running, Alien; these were films I remembered growing up and Sam remembers and we were talking about when we had a meeting about three years ago” Jones, scruffy and excitable, recalls.
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.
We love it when a plan comes together!
Ridley and Tony Scott are bringing The A-Team to the big screen in 2010.
Their company, Scott Free, will be producing and the film will be directed by Joe Carnahan, who we can thank for Ryan Reynolds' hotness in Smokin’ Aces (even though the film was bad) and the film Narc, which was exceptional and underappreciated.
Carnahan stepped into the director’s chair after John Singleton quit the project in October.
