looks cool, but I immediately disliked his salmoning in one of the first scenes
EDIT: now that I've watched the whole trailer, a lot of the things he does are pretty ridiculous, and it actually looks pretty cool. I guess you shouldn't be too critical of a movie like that.
This movie has been made fun of without end on BSNYC.
I usually like Gordon-Levitt's work, but this sounds like it's going to be a pretty generic movie
I haven't seen a lot of bike movies, but the matter-of-fact get here to there fottage in Flashdance is the only footage I've seen that catches any of what I experience.
I'd hope with bike use being more common you would see more of that. I'm guessing that movies will continue to be extended SUV ads. What with cash for product placement and large corporations investing in even most "independent" movies.
So far, I haven't had to use my scary athletic skills to save the world from bad guys yet. Not even once.
Another movie to watch for bikefest in the future
I would watch it. It looks cheesy but fun, like Quicksilver as the bike-in movie this summer.
Gleaming the Cube for millennials?
I like the chain he used to handle the one taxi.
Well, if BSNYC is mocking it, it just must not be cool enough.
When I watched the trailer it looked a bit too much like the Fast & Furious - Bike Version, and those movies suuucked. And I like car chases. There are perfectly acceptable uses for CG, but car chases are not it.
Sony's description in the YouTube link is hilarious. I'm going to have to catch up on BikeSnob.
It will be interesting to see which side of the "mystery package containing mystery powder" game the cyclist gets put on by hollywood.
Fast and Furious + Transporter + Quicksilver + Goonies + Power Rangers= Premium Rush. A horrible movie I must see.
I agree with Mr marv. Im going to see it for sure. and hopefully Ill groan and smile as much as i think I will.
We should all ride to the Southside movie theater to see this when it comes out, except I don't want to wast $8 on this movie.
Isn't some night like Monday $5? That's when I remember going.
Im all for a trip to southside to see the movie. With Flock being over for the season this could be an interesting replacement. I would even be willing to do a saturday matinee so it wont be as expensive (more money to get a beer with after the movie)
From their website
All films $5*, $1 off candy and pop, discounted kid combo
FREE fountain drink with every popcorn purchase
and matinee price is 6.75 but the site doesn't list when matinee is.
yes, i vote monday night group viewing! i finally saw the trailer. looks craptastic! must see!
Looks like it opens in January. (craptastic - lolz). Count me in!
Meanwhile, I really want to see Contagion and really don't want to see the footloose remake.
Oh yeah, It will be bad! I still want to see it!
"fast and? furious: hipster edition"
...and just like I've never missed the premiere of a F&F, I won't miss this either. I wonder if there will be cops outside the theater waiting for pumped up bikers to do stupid things.
+1 on the bike ride to movie theater
People can bring their fixies and messenger bags
@ Nick I can hear the movie line now "I deliver packages a quarter a mile at a time", or "Can you give me a 30 second lesson on drifting bikes"
I deliver my package all over town, but it's seldom ordered
I think Columbia Pictures should kick up some swag for people who show up on bikes. Esp in January.
@andrew Oh yeah, It will be bad!
Drugs could fix that.
Just sayin'
How many times have you wanted to do this to a car? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pn6ie1zCkZU&t=40s
