Turistas Vacation Video
Filed under: Horror, Thrillers, 20th Century Fox
Not very long ago 20th Century Fox announced that they'd be creating a new studio division called Fox Atomic, which would service the needs of under-20 moviegoers the world over. (As if the main studios weren't doing a fine job of that already.) On the Atomic slate is a sports spoof, a Revenge of the Nerds remake, and the sequel to 28 Days Later -- but their very first release hits theaters this December, and it's a slick-looking horror confection called Turistas.If you check out the extended trailer at the Fox Atomic website, you'll see a clip that looks like a cross between Hostel, The Descent and Into the Blue, but (despite the lame-o rock music) it's a pretty enticing promo clip all the same. The plot's about a bunch of young vacationers who stumble across some seriously unpleasant folks while backpacking through Brazil.
As Martha reported last month, Turistas was written by first-timer Michael Ross and directed by John Stockwell (hey, he directed Into the Blue!); it stars Josh Duhamel, Melissa George and the stunningly hot Olivia Wilde (pictured), whom I predict will be a big star someday, and I will then look like a genius for having predicted it.

I've been saying the same thing about Melissa George for years. Her role in Dark City turned the whole movie on its head. (See my review for more on that) She's widely considered to be one of the most beautiful women alive today.

I *thought* that looked like the rock-star lesbian from "The O.C." and I wasn't wrong.
This trailer seems to be a afflicted with ADD. It's a horror movie! It's an undersea adventure! Those two things just didn't mesh well for me. I'm interested, but I don't have much faith.
The movie studios have made me a cynic.
