Congress
is pushing a law that would abandon the Internet's First Amendment
-- a principle called Network Neutrality that prevents companies
like AT&T, Verizon and Comcast
from deciding which Web sites work best for you -- based on what
site pays them the most. If the public doesn't speak up now, our
elected officials will cave to a multi-million dollar lobbying
campaign.
Plot Summary: A gritty, fast-paced action thriller, "Shoot 'Em Up" kicks into high gear with a memorable opening scene and never relents. Clive
Owen stars as Mr. Smith, a mysterious loner who teams up with an unlikely ally
(Monica Belluci) to protect a newborn baby from a determined criminal (Paul Giamatti)
who hunts them throughout the bowels of the city. "Shoot 'Em Up" is written and
directed by Michael Davis ("Monster Man") and was released on Sept. 7, 2007. — More here
The
John Woo film was one inspiration. But the
seeds for Shoot ‘Em Up were sown several decades earlier
when Davis was a 6th grader writing his own 100-page James
Bond novels on a typewriter, with titles such as Masquerade
of Death and Spearhead which mimicked the Ian Fleming tone. “I’ve
been dreaming of doing an all-out action movie since then,
whether it was writing my childhood novels or now, animating
and writing a script,” says Davis, who drew 17,000
drawings to create 15 minutes of animation for the film’s
11 action sequences to use as a sales tool, which proved
to be effective, impressing the producers – Susan Montford,
Don Murphy and Rick Benattar (who, like Davis, is himself
a Bond fanatic) – New Line Cinema executives and, ultimately,
the cast. “The animation really encapsulated the high
energy of the picture. It’s been very exciting to see
that process of drawn vision translated to the real vision
on film,” adds Davis.
