Any takers for the 'Takers' trailer?

Categories: Movie Trailers

Hey, Matt Dillon! And Idris Elba! And…a trailer that looks like it was made from other trailers’ left-overs. Better luck next time, Michael Ealy, T.I., Hayden Christensen, Zoe Saldana, Jay Hernandez, and Paul Walker. (I’m not sure I wish you better luck next time, Chris Brown.)

Oh yeah, Takers also has the most poorly Photoshopped poster in recent memory.

I love a good heist movie, and rag-tag groups of criminals, and trucks falling in holes (I guess?). Plus I was obsessed with Ealy on Sleeper Cell (underrated) and Elba on The Wire. But this just looks like blah-o-matic 9000 to me, PopWatchers. Are you with me? Or are you…taken with Takers?

    Look at all those talented musicians trying to act: T.I., Chris Brown, Jason Mra– oh, my bad, that’s just Hayden Christensen wearing a ridiculous hat.

      lol poor Hayden’s trying to make everyone forget about Star Wars. Good luck with that.

    I saw this preview at Inglroius Basterds and thought the same thing. I felt like I was watching a preview for a movie made in 1997

    Half that cast would be so awesome in a real movie. Kick the musicians back to the recording studios and find a new script.

    Paul Walker’s looking older.

    Sorry guys – I guess I’m the only one on board with this. Heist Movies have been getting better and better – worth at least a matinee showing….

    I’m am on board. Idris Elba with his natural accent!! I will be the first in line. Maybe the producers saw him in the GREAT rocknrolla and told him to use his natural accent. Also great to see Michael Ealy in something. I felt sorry for him having to star in that awful 7 pounds. He deserves better. The last good movie he did was that tv movie with Halle Berry where they burned up the screen with that chemistry. Chris Brown can suck a c0ck.

    Please get pass the CHris Brown mess with Rhianna/ It is over. The guy is very talented. Whatever happened to forgiveness. I’m sure this movie is going to the great. It has a great cast. So the person who wrote the article at the top, you are an idiot!
