THE BUZZ: Director John Moore (Behind Enemy Lines) is back in his element after stinking up the big screen with a pair of woeful remakes earlier this decade. But don’t video-game adaptations seem so boringly retro in 2008, the year of the superhero? Ditto the normally bankable Mark Wahlberg, who managed to make a worse film than Rock Star this past summer. I think Sony should put Quarantine back in this slot to take on Payne (Screen Gems, Sony’s lower-budget distribution arm, pushed up their buzzing horror remake’s release date once Payne staked out the 17th for his assault).


Here’s the trailer … should I eat my words? While it hits all the standard notes of an action-thriller (with a supernatural vision toward the end of the clip), I appreciate the fact that Fox has chosen to keep the movie’s plot shrouded in mystery for the time being.
