Quaid, Whitaker find Vantage Point
The new international trailer for conspiracy thriller Vantage Point
Vantage Point is a film thats slowly creeping up on us. The thriller opens in six months and nobody seems to be making much noise about it despite it having an excellent cast that includes Dennis Quaid, Matthew Fox, Forest Whitaker, Sigourney Weaver and William Hurt. This plot synopsis comes courtesy of Coming Soon:
In Columbia Pictures' "Vantage Point," Thomas Barnes (Dennis Quaid) and Kent Taylor (Matthew Fox), are two Secret Service agents assigned to protect President Ashton (William Hurt) at a landmark summit on the global war on terror. When President Ashton is shot moments after his arrival in Spain, chaos ensues and disparate lives collide. In the crowd is Howard Lewis (Forest Whitaker) an American tourist video taping the historic event to show his kids when he returns home. Also there is Rex (Sigourney Weaver) an American TV news producer who is reporting on the conference. It's only as we follow each person's perspective of the same 15 minutes prior to and immediately after the shooting that the terrifying truth behind the assassination attempt is revealed.I know someone who's read the script for this one and they have nothing but high praise for it. They describe it as 24 meets Lost. We see the same event unfold through different character's perspectives, with each POV moving the plot a little further and more clues being revealed before everything is tied together in a very cool way for the finale.
