Screenplay writer David Koepp to direct NY bike rider movie

// November 12th, 2009 // No Comments » // What's Poppin

David Koepp is best known as one of Hollywood’s highest paid screenwriters (and one of Spielberg’s scribes). His screenwriting credits include everything from Toy Soldiers, Jurassic Park, and Carlito’s Way, to Panic Room, Spider-Man, War of the Worlds and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

For the last decade he’s been trying to make the transition into feature film directing. He made his debut with the promising Stir of Echoes, but has since followed up with some lackluster efforts, the 2004 Stephen King adaptation Secret Window and the 2008 Ricky Gervais supernatural romantic comedy Ghost Town. Honestly, I think Koepp is a much better screenwriter than he is a filmmaker, and that’s not saying much considering the abundance of lackluster screenplays he’s been involved with in the last 10-12 years.

With that kind of intro, you must be really interested in his next directorial effort (yes, that was sarcasm).

Next up, Koepp will direct a film called Premium Rush, penned by his frequent screenwriting collaborator John Kamps. Aside from working with Koepp on Ghost Town and Zathura, he also wrote Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie. Yup, no snarky commentary needed.

According to Variety, the story follows a 20-something-year-old bike messenger who somehow gets involved in a chase across New York City. And we’re not just talking about a little chase but big budget William Friedkin-style action sequences. Apparently a dirty cop is “desperate to get his hands” on an envelope the messenger received from Columbia University.

I’m always game for another chase movie, especially a film with a budget. Columbia Pictures is apparently fast tracking the project, and casting will begin searching for a leading man immediately. So I’m sure we’ll be hearing a casting and start announcement by year’s end.

Swank soars as Earhart but movie is just a fart.

Story by: Miss. Peliculera

Hilary Swank pimps out a pilot’s cap to become Amelia Earhart, legendary ’30s aviator and folk hero. But in this by the numbers, snoozer of a biopic, the two-time Oscar winner gets lost in them clouds she flies through.

I was a freedom writer now I'm a freedom fighter.

Director Mira Nair gives us a version of the world-famous pilot’s life that adds up to little more than another cheesy love story—with some kick ass aerial sequences.

In 1928, Earhart was the first woman to fly across the Atlantic—although as a passenger not a pilot. It was all a PR stunt concocted by book publisher and publicist George Putnam (Richard Gere), and a few years later, Amelia (married to Putnam) decides she must make the flight solo to prove it to herself and all aspiring women aviators. We know where she ends up after this bright idea, oh right we don’t.

Suddenly, she’s more famous than prohibition and treated like the flavor of the week rapper in modern-day celebrity. But here, we’re fed all this bullshit generic montages and lots of ’30s-style news reels. Lots and lots of newsreels and more fucking newsreels.

Another problem most historical flicks can encounter is being too enamored with it’s subject. Earhart has a minor scandal involving a tryst with Gene Vidal (Ewan McGregor), but a love triangle hardly taints her image—and here it feels strictly Lifetime.

On the plus side, having two-time Academy Award winner Swank as the famous aerial darling—who disappeared over the Pacific Ocean in 1937—ensured at least some level of craft. Despite a recognizable face and stature, she remains a chameleon of the silver screen. Never for a moment do we see Swank; she’s always Earhart.
