Darth Vader and Billy Elliot do the teleport thing

Directed by Doug Liman.

That's enough these days to get me into a movie theater.

Throw in a cool as hell trailer with people teleporting all over the place and I'm in. Not to mention a killer cast including Hayden Christensen, Jamie Bell, Samuel L. Jackson and Diane Lane.

I think we might have a cool flick brewing here...



If you don't know your Doug Liman movies, here's a primer. You've probably seen some of these already:

Swingers
The one that put Liman on the map. Guys hanging out in LA being cool.

Go
Some rip on this gem of a flick, calling it Tarantino-Lite. I call it great fun. This is a warped trio of intertwined stories that never quite lets go. I can rewatch this endlessly. The soundtrack alone was in my cd player for years.

The Bourne Identity
Matt Damon skyrockets to action stardom. Liman created the handheld "realism" that would define the blockbuster Bourne series. His casting of Franka Potente as a strong love interest proved inspiring enough to haunt everything Bourne does in the sequels.

Mr. & Mrs. Smith
Movie star romances usually equal the box office kiss of death. Not this time, Liman and Brangelina beat the odds with a fun, sexy action romp that never took itself too seriously, but seriously entertained.
