Another Installment in "Movies I Want to See. Soon."

[dewline]

One of the latest entries in getting good CanCon into the movie theatres of Canada is coming up soon: Bon Cop, Bad Cop, from Alliance-Atlantis' distribution arm.

It's a cop movie, a buddy movie, a Canadian movie. One of the writers is Alex Epstein, and there's some advance promoganda blurbs here if you're interested.

Also, one of the two leads is Colm Feore. Yes, the title actor of Trudeau. Who is also the guy who played Richard Adar on Battlestar Galactica not too long ago. Among many other roles. Worth watching for that guy's performances alone, I suspect.

But then, I'm admittedly biased. :-)

The audience (for a preview of Clerks II) applauded the trailer for Bon Cop, Bad Cop. It seemed a little odd to me, since i imagine the police in Quebec and Ontario actually cooperate on a regular basis.

Yeah, but this time, one's a crazy zany guy who plays by his own rules! The other's by the book!

And they're gonna fight CRIME!

No way!

It may not be original, but hopefully it might be well-done. I liked the idea of a corpse lying on the boundary of two jurisdictions.

And speaking of police history...?

I can't imagine that it's never happened in real-world police history before, that kind of crime scene...?

Sure, I've no doubt the police forces involved really do co-operate on that kind of basis. I'm operating on the assumption that we're getting a look at the respective involved police services' "house eccentrics", the exceptions to the rules of the road and the service revolver, if you will.

Besides, Colm Feore, right?

Next up after this one: Shake Hands With the Devil.

Yes, that's right. Guy Dupuis as Gen. Romeo Dallaire.

And after that, Paul Gross' Passchendale, which I understand from the Toronto Star to be in production. He's hoping to have it in the theatres for Remembrance Day 2007, right?
