Trailer Watch

It seems that there is an emerging trend of using Nine Inch Nails songs in trailers. First "The Day The World Went Away" in Terminator: Salvation, and now "The Wretched" in A Perfect Getaway. Yes, that is Milla Jovovich. It's nice to see her branch out of sci-fi video games. Also staring is Steve Zahn (Daddy Day Care) who is one of my favorite comic actors. Timothy Olyphant, who played the title character in last year's Hitman also stars. A lot of people slammed Hitman, but he was fantastic in the last season of Damages, so I'm kind of excited to see more from him. However, this movie has very little chances of being good, but it does promise to be fun and not take itself seriously at all. How do I know this? David Twohy wrote and directed it. Keep in mind that he is the writer of Waterworld, Pitch Black, and The Chronicles of Riddick. At this point you may be wondering why Hollywood hasn't stopped him from making movies, and the answer is that he also wrote GI Jane and The Fugitive. His directing credits include Pitch Black and The Chronicles of Riddick. On a final note, no, I don't know why they picked the Nine Inch Nails song they did. It makes absolutely no sense.
