From Variety:Tony Scott has boarded the Fox thriller "Unstoppable," intending to make it the next film he directs.
That puts "Unstoppable" on an express track toward production. Scott is working with screenwriter Mark Bomback to get the picture in shape to be shot later this year.
The drama involves an unmanned runaway train that is carrying a cargo of toxic chemicals. An engineer and his conductor find themselves in a race against time.
Julie Yorn is producing, and Scott will board the project as a producer as well.
Scott most recently completed "The Taking of Pelham 1, 2, 3," the Columbia Pictures drama that will be released June 12.
-His films always have potential, but his directorial style always bothers me a bit...how bout you?

ReplyDeleteI definitely look forward to his brother's films more so than his.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy most of his work from the seventes and I think True Romance is a masterpiece (although that's probably due to Tarantino), but I have not really liked one of his films since. That makes it over a decade and a half without a film I have liked. It's odd that only one of the Scott brothers makes good films at a time. Ridley was great from the late seventies until Blade Runner in 1982, then Tony took over by makng good films through most of the nineties, then Ridley regained control this decade.

* I meant to say that I enjoy most of Tony's work from the eighties, not seventies.

the thing is, he has such potential with his films, but he can never hold a shot long enough to enjoy, among other things
ReplyDeleteThats very true for his action movies. This is the biggest problem I had with the latest Bond movie (too many quick cuts), and why I loved Casino Royale so much because the director knew when to hold a shot for suspense.
