Southland Tales

The film features an ensemble cast headed by Dwayne Johnson, Seann William Scott and Sarah Michelle Gellar, and also featuring Miranda Richardson, Cheri Oteri, Christopher Lambert, Mandy Moore, Justin
Timberlake and fellow film director Kevin Smith. Original music for the film will be provided by Moby.

Plot:....
El Paso and Abilene, Texas have fallen victim to twin nuclear attacks on July 4, 2005 – a catastrophe of unimaginable proportions which sent America into war. The Patriot Act has been upgraded to a new agency
known as US-IDENT, which keeps constant tabs on citizens – even to the extent of censoring the internet and using fingerprints in order to access computers and bank accounts. In order to be able to respond to a
newfound fuel scarcity, the German company Treer designs a generator of inexhaustible energy which is propelled by ocean currents. Unbeknownst to them, the generators alter the currents and cause the Earth to spiral out of control through space, ripping holes in the fabric of space and time.

In Los Angeles, a city on the brink of chaos, we follow the criss-crossed destinies of Boxer Santaros (Dwayne Johnson), an action film actor stricken with amnesia; Krysta Now (Sarah Michelle Gellar), ex-porn star in the midst of reconverting; and twin brothers Roland and Ronald Taverner (both played by Seann William Scott), whose destinies – on one evening – become intertwined with that of all mankind.

Sounds like it might be good this even if a bit strange..also Gellar plays an ex porn star????Ahh yes hope is a great thing ...even the best of things yep Andy Dufrane I agree

Ah this is the one that's taken a long time getting to the screen isn't it? I think it had bad reviews from the critics so it had to be rewritten and scenes reshot.

The story sounds good, though I don't think I'd go and see it.......but I'd get the DVD!

Oh I didn't realise screen were rewritten and reshot babe..it must have got people not liking certain parts..perhaps people were disappointed with not seeing as much flesh from Gellar eh??

I'll probably be the same babe and only rent it or something

I think it was something to do with the ending Luc.....preview audiences didn't like it so it was reshot.

You mean you want to see more flesh

It kind of has that Donnie Darko feel or look to it too doesn't it? That music at the beginning is the Pixies song Where is my Mind which is played in the last scene in Fight Club too

And yes lets see more Buffy Flesh thatsa what I say
