Here’s an interesting conundrum. Media Rights Capital has just purchased a script from writer Tony Mosher entitled The Civilian. It’s not based on a comic book, a novel, a short story, a video game, a bubblegum wrapper, a toy, or anything else that previously existed. What do we know about it? It’s about a former soldier who has to shape up and save the day when a weapons convention is taken hostage at the San Diego Convention Center. That is literally everything we know about this movie.
Tony Mosher doesn’t even have a recognizable picture on Google Image and IMDb and Media Rights Capital is so stingy about their image, we had to give you a picture of the Convention Center itself! We may know nothing about this movie until it comes out.
What is going on with the world today? How are we, as an audience, supposed to connect with a film when it isn’t tied in with some other previous form of media? This isn’t fair. The trailer better be really informative or the viewers won’t be able to follow the plot or characters that we haven’t ever seen before. Oh, what’s this? It’s supposed to be in the vein of Die Hard? Oh thank heavens, I can finally relate this to something else and understand it. Yippie ki-yay!
Absolutely nothing else is known about the film besides the original writer and the company that picked it up. Does this stop us from wildly speculating on who will act in it? You bet your gun strapped to your backs it doesn’t! I would like to see Will Arnett become the next action star. If Ben Stiller can pack on the guns for Tropic Thunder, than Will Arnett can bring his sexy voice to the screen. In never-gonna-happen-in-a-million-and-two-years guessing, Emma Watson would be a fantastic action star. But then again, I would watch her count bricks, so my judgement might not be the best.
