Carriers Trailer Starring Chris Pine
I hadn’t really heard much about Carriers up until Star Trek hit theatres, but now that Chris Pine is starting to get so much attention for his role as Captain James T. Kirk, this project is also gaining momentum proportionately. The story seems like one we’ve seen a few too many times before: a group of survivors struggles to stay alive in the wake of a viral outbreak. That said, I have to admit, the trailer still captured my interest enough that I could see myself checking it out.
One thing I like is the fact that the Z-word is never mentioned anywhere in the trailer, although it certainly seems to hint towards there being a clear zombie element. The similarity to Danny Boyle’s 28 Days Later is unmistakable, but I guess I’m just hoping there will be a new twist somewhere in there. Directors Alex and David Pastor are the latest Spanish filmmakers to get their big break in North America, although indie distributor Paramount Vantage has apparently been sitting on the film for a few years now. Carriers will hit theatres on September 4th; check out the trailer after the jump and see what you think.

If they have been sitting on it for a few years then it can’t be that good can it?

Hmph a movie about Bird Flu. Looks interesting. Glad it didn’t have anything to do with zombies. That genre is played out!
Posted by modesilver on July 3rd, 2009It’s official: I’m sick of zombies.
Everyone has just been raping the genre. The only good things since 28 Days Later have been The Walking Dead and World War Z; but that’s only because they aren’t movies.
