Contraband (Beckinsale, Wahlberg) - Blu-ray Forum

GreenScar · 09-18-2010, 06:59 AM

Yes. Beckinsale baby!

Quote:

Every day that goes by without an announced film featuring Kate Beckinsale is a day wasted. Thankfully, today is no such day, as Latino Review reports that Beckinsale will co-star with Mark Wahlbergh in Baltasar Kormakur’s remake of Reykjavik-Rotterdam, freshly titled Contraband. Komakur starred in and produced the original Icelandic 2009 foreign-language Oscar submission, and Aaron Guzikowski is penning the script. The original won five awards from its home country. Here is the logline from Latino Review: The plot centers on a security guard and former alcohol smuggler on the Iceland-Netherlands route who is tempted back into illicit business by a dubious friend after encountering financial problems. Contraband is setup at Working Title.

With the gorgeous Beckinsale and the always excellent Wahlberg in this, I'll probably be in a theatre seat on day 1 to see it.

There is no higher truth.

I haven't seen the happening and every actor gets one mulligan with me.

The problems with that movie had everything to do with M Night Shyamalan. Can't pin that one on any of the actors.

Disclaimer - I'm not in agreement that Marky Mark is the best thing since sliced bread.

Yeah The Happening was atrocious, but look at the other great films he has made. Hell, he received an Oscar nomination for The Departed. The guy is a good actor.

Diesel · 09-19-2010, 08:39 PM

Guys, he bolded the "always excellent" part; he was contesting that

I like Wahlburg most of the time, and Kate is one of the prettiest females on the planet. Who cares about the script..... I'm in!

KilloWertz · 02-05-2011, 02:52 AM

First, how the hell did I miss this thread when it was posted back in September?

Second, I am really glad I finally noticed this. It will be nice to see Kate in (hopefully) something good besides Underworld and the male portion of the cast is quite strong with Mark Wahlberg, Ben Foster, etc.

+1. Kate Beckinsale is not only extremely beautiful, but also very talented. It is unfortunate that her talent gets wasted on mostly awful films. Like you mentioned, Underworld is a big chunk of the best films she has worked on.

Ben Foster and Giovanni Ribisi are some of my favorite underused actors.

When Kate stars in her first 3D film, I go out and see my first 3D film. Will check this one out regardless.

Hope this movie doesn't make the mistake of letting the german language be interpreted as the dutch language, which happens alot.

Samus Aran · 09-29-2011, 08:41 PM

Beckinsale looks to be completely wasted in this movie.

vegeta88 · 09-29-2011, 08:47 PM

Looks like it could be good entertainment. The trailer shows way too much though.

Moviefan1203 · 09-29-2011, 08:49 PM

That was a very underwhelming trailer.

Ite · 11-28-2011, 01:52 AM

Just saw a trailer, looks good and Lukas Haas is in it! Haas rules!

Tom Hiddleston · 11-28-2011, 02:58 AM

I'll watch the original.
