Movietickets.com is reporting that Steven Soderbergh's Haywire (formerly Knockout) is getting a one-week booking at Manhattan's AMC Empire starting on Friday, 10.15. Presumably it'll begin showing the same day in some Los Angeles-area theatre also.

Lionsgate apparently intends to release the espionage action-thriller in January 2011. I don't know what the point of a low-profile sneak booking would be. All I can imagine is that someone at Lionsgate believes that Haywire may be Oscar-worthy. Directed by Soderbergh with a screenplay by Lem Dobbs, it stars Gina Carano, Michael Douglas, Ewan McGregor, Antonio Banderas, Bill Paxton, Channing Tatum and...

HOLY SHIT!  I am definitely going to this.  BUT this is the theatre with bed bugs!   :shock:
Christopher Nolan's directive was clear to everyone in the cast and crew: Use CGI only as a last resort.

Just throw your clothes in the dryer as soon as you get home. Worth the risk!

Now he deleted the story and said AMC is calling it a computer error.  But you can still buy tix.  This is a mystery for ThePlaylist.

Totes. The fighting looks pretty intense but I'll let Pete be the judge on that. I am loving Soderbergh's decision to keep the camera off his shoulder and not go all Greengrass handheld crazy on us . It feels refreshingly composed and Fincherian. Can't wait.

Gina Carano is a dime piece. A straight 10. Just a ridiculously gorgeous woman.





Falling in love is the greatest joy in life. Followed closely by sneaking into a gated community late at night and firing a gun into the air.

If the movie was just this gif repeated for two hours, I would still pay to see it on the big screen.

A new av, perhaps?
We often went to the cinema, the screen would light up and we would tremble, but also, increasingly often, Madeleine and I were disappointed. The images had dated, they jittered, and Marilyn Monroe had gotten terribly old. We were sad, this wasn't the film we had dreamed of, this wasn't the total film that we all carried around inside us, this film that we would have wanted to make, or, more secretly, no doubt, that we would have wanted to live.
