Spy Hunter film hits oil slick, smashes into wall; 3 dead, 7 injured photo
     Paul WS Anderson

Ok, maybe I'm being a bit melodramatic. After all, the news I just came across isn't even Boll-ian in nature. Still, having Paul W.S. Anderson now attached to direct the upcoming action-racer-to-film adaptation is the Hollywood equivalent of having your little brother trip over the controller cable right when you reach the boat level. Unfortunately, your parents are home, and they're still upset about last week when you broke his nose over a game of Gyromite.

You may remember Mr. Anderson from films such as Aliens vs Predator and Resident Evil. Two flicks that should have been amazingly fantastic, yet managed to bore the hell out of anyone lacking a cocaine nosebleed. If you need it stated more simply, Paul managed to make the Predator, a creature defined primarily by his ability to have sex with your mom, punch your dad in the face, and steal your brother's Camaro, all while invisible and shooting razor-sharp nets, boring!

This does not bode well for Spy Hunter ...

You're crazy. The way that The Rock stares mockingly, and hits someone, and then stares at them mockingly, and then makes a witty comment, and then STARES AT THE MOCKINGLY!

I have to go change my pants now.

Yes I want to tell him... your mouth looks like a vagina!!!!! But honestly, your vagina was much easier on the eyes in the original Predator than Retard Aliens vs Emo Predator vs Ethnic Woman

I just wish people would stop watching video-game based movies, then maybe, just maybe, this all would end. Hell, who am I kidding, that Halo is going to rape the human race while making millions.

I'm still surprised they jumped the gun and released the game based on the movie, that still hasn't been released. I haven't played it yet, but the last time a game that was made based on a movie, that was based on a game sucked bollocks. Yeah, remember Street Fighter: The Movie Game? It was horrible, beyond anything I ever played.

But back on topic, I'm not sure how they're going to do a story on SpyHunter. All I remember about the arcade game is it was an overhead racing type game where you blast baddies on the road.

What's next, a movie based on Road Blasters? o_O
