"Trance" sounds like amnesia fic. I am so there, esp if this rumored casting follows through.

I am SO in love with the art for "Haywire." After all the lazy photoshop crap I've seen that's supposed to pass for posters, this stuff is refreshing and gorgeous and exciting.

Action!Asian who's not all omg kung fu???? What's the world coming to????

It's like a XMFC AU! I wonder who they'll cast as the female hypnotist.

Haywire has apparently been delayed until 2012, so I don't know if the actual posters will resemble these images, but in terms of giving you a sense of what the film will be like, I think they're fantastic.

Maybe the cop and the hitman's daughter will even get together!!! Hot inter-racial couple in my action movie!!!!!

THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT TOO. But I wasn't sure if I should've said it because I am clearly obsessed, but I'm glad that you thought it, too. :D

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. I CAN'T STAND DELAYS. CRIES. I WANT THIS MOVIE NOW.

:OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO The Asian guy... gets the girl? And omg, and it'd be Sarah Shahi, too. HOLY SHIT INTERRACIAL RELATIONSHIP THAT DOESN'T INVOLVE A WHITE PERSON WTF. Actually that happened in Fast Five, too. Though, wait, Shahi is playing Stallone's daughter? I guess her character is gonna be Italian?

The Asian guy... gets the girl? And omg, and it'd be Sarah Shahi, too.

It's just wishful thinking at this point, but it was my first thought when I saw that Shahi had been cast as the daughter. If it actually happened, I think I might explode from the awesomeness.

XMFC AU, surely..

Why does Haywire sound like it has the plot of a half a dozen similar movies even though it might be unique? :\

Is Parade's End set in WWII or WWI? The description of the play sounds like it's set in WWI, or has HBO decided to restructure it for WWII? The whole Edwardian England-->chaos angle might have to change....(Also, this perennial British movie theme would seem tiresome if not for "Tom Stoppard" as the script-writer.)

You are not alone in those thoughts, my friend. :)

I doubt the plot will be all that original, but I am looking forward to seeing that cast at work, and the action scenes which are apparently kick-ass, as you'd expect with a real martial arts expert in the lead role.

Ops. My typo.

Susanna White (Generation Kill, Bleak House) will be directing.

YAYYYYYY!

HBO is good to its veterans. :)
