Red Band Trailer [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7B__KkLCLM[/media] Sadly, there's no Wikipedia page yet, or at least not an English one. Anywho, this movie appears to be like The Expendables and S.W.A.T. combined. It's also an Indonesian film. The music is by Linkin Park (what is it with more groups doing film soundtracks nowadays?) Final notes: it looks fucking awesome. also: if anyone has any other shit to add, let me know and I'll put it in this post.
looks like a fun movie
Looks like a YouTube music video rather than a trailer. Looks like it'd be fun to watch for the stunts and over the top action.
A remake has already been planned.

The Indonesian film - which revolves around a SWAT team becoming trapped in a tenement block by a ruthless gangster and his deadly henchmen - was one of the most talked about films at the recent Toronto Film Festival. And Screen Gems is currently in negotiations with Sony - who own the film's North American distribution rights - to shoot an English-language version of the film. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Screen Gems are conscious of the fact that the Indonesian fighting style silat is one of the unique selling points of the film, and so would doubtless want to retain that element. However director Gareth Evans will not be helming, opting to shoot a sequel in February rather than tell the same story again.[/quote] Its going to be the exact same case as REC/Quarantine. Waste of money and time.
I really fucking hate the whole "american remake" thing. Make a bad version of a good movie just because a bunch of people can't read subtitles.

Not necessarily bad from what I hear, but pointless. Quarantine was an abomination and Quarantine 2 is even worse.

Each time i look at this trailer it looks more awesome.
