Guy Pearce Is in Space Jail
Or he was in space jail, according to this first trailer for Luc Besson’s upcoming movie Lock-Out. It’s a little difficult to tell, especially when most of the trailer is Pearce talking about how he fucked Peter Stormare’s wife while getting punched in the face by some random thug (while he’s talking, not while he fucked Peter Stormare’s wife — sorry if that wasn’t clear). At any rate, this looks fun, and it’s groovy to see Besson return to sci-fi for the first time since The Fifth Element. If only he hadn’t hired Maggie Grace. She’s awful. She makes Megan Fox seem like Meryl Streep. Hell, she makes mannequins seem like Megan Fox. (Via Blastr)
