so what's the word guys? is this the next gladiator or the next gigli??

Well, neither.

It's directed by Michael Mann, who even managed to get some mileage out of Miami Vice. We're used to his gritty street dramas, like Collateral and Heat.

Jamie Foxx, Jennifer Garner, Chris Cooper, Jason Bateman... you could do a lot worse for a cast. Granted, it's not as grandiose as Gladiator, but Michael Mann will never, ever be mistaken for Ridley Scott. Nor should he be.

I think it will do fine, upwards of around $80 million if reviews are good. If not, around $50.

Allow me to correct you Shryke... The Kingdom is only produced by Mann. It's directed by Peter Berg.

I can't wait to see this film in September so i think its going to be great and its got a great cast and a good director in Peter Berg and the test screenings scores are off the charts so that's a good sign.

I haven't seen much out of Peter Berg besides Friday Night Lights so im not sure what to expect. Michael Mann on the other hand is some straight up gangsta, he gets it done. This film would be awesome with him producing, he must have some reasoning for experimenting with Peter Berg.

Did anybody else think that miami vice was just the dumbest effing movie to make money last year. Man that was a big disappointment. Next to alexander that is probably my least favorite colin ferrel and jamie foxx movie.(yes i know jamie foxx did not play in alexander thank god) Anyways I generally tend to like both as actors and miami vice well... sucked big kahonas.

Back to forum. Kingdom looks pretty good. Probably rent it when it comes out cause I know my little four screen ain't gettin it.

Ouch, your four screen will probably get stuck with The Game Plan that weekend.

Sorry for the double post. On the topic of The Kingdom though, I liked trailer 2 (the one that came with Chuck and Larry) better than trailer 3 (the one that's attached to Bourne). Mostly because of the music.

I'd rather see The Kingdom. But the game plan interests me also. I generally tend to like the rock. Except for be cool. Huge let down. Great cast. Crappy movie. Anyways. I'll watch the game plan if it comes to my theater. Depending on my financial status. which isn't to good. I might go watch the kingdom. But considering I have to drive an hour to get to another theater, i'll probably just wait for dvd.

I think The Game Plan is going to be a dissapointment but thats just my opinion. It has some potential.

'The Game Plan' feels like 'The Pacifier' (which I wrongly bet against). I've put it on a slate or two in the August-October leagues -- if I get burned again, at least it was only for $4.

I'm banking on "Kingdom" for a few of my leagues based on a soild trailer looks to be the kind of good box office draw .Late

I gotta agree with you, Crazy. Before Be Cool came out, I got a free Be Cool hat and wore it cuz it fit well. After I actually saw the movie, I buried it in my closet. That movie was absolutely terrible, and I was so ashamed that even wore that damn hat. I still thought the Rock was about the only funny thing in that celluloid travesty, though.

The rock had a few crazy lines in that movie I will admit. Is there any other movie where he has hair other than this.
Anyways. What was wrong with the pacifer. It did what it was intended to do. A good family movie. Just cause it had Diesel in it doesn't mean it was going to be a big action movie. I enjoyed it. Probably my least fav of his but I still enjoyed it.

Nothing wrong with 'The Pacifier,' cRAzY, only my prediction for how it was going to do when released. I thought it had 'disaster' written all over it and of course the movie did tremendously well when released. In short, I ate my own words. 'The Game Plan,' strikes me as being a similiar kind of movie. I got burned once but would rather have 'The Game Plan' for $4 than get burned again! If it fails? I only spent the $4. I can live with that level of risk and investment.
