I like how hes moving so fast that his legs have blur lines, but yet the spokes on the bike are crystal clear.

I saw the trailer the other day, we couldn't believe it was a real movie. A courier bike chase scene? Really?

When is Looper coming out

Cool poster. Eye catching. Premium Rush sounds like a sequel to Premium Blend though.

Gayest JGL movie poster since Mysterious Skin.

No, seriously, it looks like he's offering up his rear end.

Why is that a bad thing? Bikes can go places cars can't, the rider is exposed to much more danger just from the environment around them, and it's a somewhat novel idea. Mediocre poster aside, I think it looks quite fun.

Let's ignore Joseph Gordon Levitt's rear end assaulting us and look at Orca posters.

Look at how god damned exciting this thing is.

And now he is happy.

Better than the poster for everyone's other favourite bicyle courier action film

I was a bike courier for a few months, it was a lovely job with no cool chase sequences. I didn't even have a sick waistcoat like Kevin here.

Everything about Premium Rush gives off the feeling of "shelved for 2 years until main actor becomes a draw".

What happens when a movie is shelved for a few months or few years? Do the cast and staff get paid, and how much of their full contract?

I believe you get paid whatever you're entitled to make it, regardless of what the studio does with it after. The only people affected would be anyone whose contract includes a cut of the profit.

That is the one. It's not very good obviously, but it does have a few genuinely unpleasant/frightening moments. I believe Ennio Morricone did the score too so its got that going for it.

Not quite.

I would have also accepted "Gleaming the Cube". Despite the alleged popularity of extreme sports in the late 80's and 90's, the number of action movies based on them is vanishingly small.

It's usually tied to shooting. Some contracts pay you in installments, with the last one being when the filming wraps.

Obviously you don't get any residuals or profit cuts.

With all the focus on agility and speed and delivering packages and JGL's outfit Premium Rush looks like The Scout: The Motion Picture and I am OK with that.

Goddamnit... I was scrolling through the responses thinking to myself, "Aha, I'm going to get to bust out some sweet Gleaming the Cube references" and then you had to go and gently caress it up :colbert:

It also had a good poster campaign:
