Kevin Costner in "Liam Neeson-style Taken mode":

Why So Blu?

Looks fun in a Taken meets RED kind of way. I hope it's rated R.

Hrmmm. Looks neat. I'm interested.

Luc Besson Producing and Kevin Costner starring? I'm totally in!

^ I noticed you conveniently left out the "McG directing..."

inri222

McG has never made an R rated film. I doubt that bold risk taker of a director is starting to make them now.


From the man who brought you Charlie's Angels, Terminator Salvation & This Means War........

Why So Blu?

Besson usually has a lot of control over his productions. McG is strictly a hired gun and Besson is calling the shots.

Perversely, McG is probably the closest thing to and auteur that's ever worked on anything in the Besson stable. Luc Besson, lord of Eurotrash, proof that B-movie isn't dead just yet. I was one of the few people who didn't like Taken, most of the Besson stuff I've hung around for is because of the Hong Kong guys he's brought along, though I thoroughly enjoyed the District 13 movies. I'll probably give this a rental at the very least.

You shut your whore mouth. The man made Leon.

I like Costner. I'm in.

That film is rather the exception to the rule, but you're right, yes he did. But you're also assuming I think a film being "trash" is a bad thing, which is hardly accurate at all . As Pauline Kael herself said, if you want to be a film fan, you must learn to appreciate "great trash."

Supermallet

Besson has some Eurotrash under his belt, no doubt, but he's far too varied to be pigeonholed.

hanshotfirst1138

That is true, though the ratio of trashy B-movies to everything else is high. I was surprised as hell to see his name on Three Burials, he does occasionally do some more arty stuff too or other genres too.

Kevin Costner, Amber Heard.... count me in. Trailer looked fun...

EddieMoney

Kevin Costner rocks. Will see.

Shannon Nutt

Between Man of Steel, Jack Ryan, and this, it looks like Costner is finally making good role choices again - I'm in for this as well. Looks fun.

Charlie Goose

Costner has made some crappy movies, but I've always liked him. This looks a little too cutesey with his daughter around, but it could be worth a watch.

hanshotfirst1138

Looks like Amber Heard is doing the femme fatale stuff, hopefully the actors will have fun hamming it up.

robin2099

Looks fun. I honestly can't think of a Luc Beeson movie that I disliked so I'm in.

Tarantino

Directed by McG...ugh.

Guess it depends on which Besson shows up. The producer of The Professional, or the producer of Taken 2.

hanshotfirst1138

He was the director of Leon too. I think that's the key difference.

inri222

Best film as a director : Leon
Best film as a producer : Nil By Mouth

Whats the word on this? I can't imagine Costner bringing the goods with action.

Dr. DVD

Heard looks really hot, Besson's efforts are entertaining for the most part, and I have Movie Pass.

I think I might see this on Saturday. I'd like to see Costner taking on this badass spy role like Liam Neeson.
