EW is reporting that Tony Scott’s (Domino) may have his next project set up after The Taking of Pelham 123, its called Unstoppable. Its being described as an action movie on a train, and if Scott can get a cast together quick enough then Unstoppable will be his next film. The story follows a rail company that tries frantically to stop an unmanned, half-mile-long runaway freight train carrying enough combustible liquids and poisonous gas to wipe out a nearby city. Scott is set to work with screenwriter Mark Bomback (Live Free or Die Hard, Race to Witch Mountain) to get the picture in shape to be shot later this year.
An action movie on a train does actually sound pretty cool, but with Tony Scott’s name on it, then its hard to say whether it will live up to the concept. I am not much of a Tony Scott fan. The only films of his that I have liked are True Romance and Crimson Tide, and I can enjoy Domino on a guilty pleasure level. He’s got a kinetic energy that works for most of his films, not so much for some of his blunders. I don’t hate any of his films like most people, overall he’s made more good films then bad films that always have a fast paced slick style.
Do you like Tony Scott? Are you looking forward to The Taking of Pelham 123?
