'Eagle Eye' Teaser Trailer Has Landed!
Filed under: Action, Thrillers, Fandom, Movie Marketing, Trailers and Clips
Oh, that Shia LaBeouf -- isn't he just so damn charismatic? The first teaser trailer for Eagle Eye has just arrived online, and I couldn't help but think of The Matrix while watching it. Remember when Neo gets the call that guides him away from the agents looking for him at the office -- with every one of his moves carefully timed in order to avoid detection? Yeah, well that's exactly what's going on here -- except, apparently, all of it is very real and Shia LaBeouf's character is in a lot of trouble ... even if he has no idea what in the world is going on.
Regardless of the similarities, I'm totally sold -- this looks like it could be a pretty wild ride from start to finish. In Eagle Eye, LaBeouf stars as a young slacker who, along with a single mother (Michelle Monaghan), gets mixed up in a terror cell's plot to assassinate a political figure. Directed by D.J. Caruso, and based on a story from Steven Spielberg, Eagle Eye also stars Billy Bob Thornton and Rosario Dawson. Oh, and it hits theaters on September 26.
Check out the trailer over at EagleEyeMovie.com, then let us know what you think.

The Matrix similarities are there, certainly, but since reading the synopsis, I've always thought that D.J. Caruso and company were following their Rear Window re-do with North by Northwest 2.0.
Whether that's the case or not, I'm a sucker for a chase movie, and more so for Monaghan. Count me in.

Very Matrix-esque. Can't say that's a bad thing though. I think it looks pretty rad.
Could they have displayed the Sprint logo on the phone a bit more prominently though? I didn't quite feel the product placement was obvious enough.

Of the trailers that played before Indy last night, this was the only one I hadn't seen. It certainly gave off a Matrixy vibe, but it looked pretty darn good while doing it. And it has Billy Bob Thornton! And now I find out Rosario Dawson's in it too!! Can you tell I'm getting excited about unexpectedly getting to add another movie to my Want to See list?? Count me in for this one!
