Trailer Bulletin: The Island

by | May 20, 2005 | Comments

Yahoo! Movies brings us an all-new trailer for Michael Bay‘s sci-fi thriller "The Island." A tale of utopian societies, rampant cloning, and desperate escapes, "The Island" hopes to be one of the "out of left field" hits this summer. Ewan McGregor ("Star Wars Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith") stars alongside Scarlett Johansson ("Lost in Translation‘), and they’re supported by folks like Sean Bean ("National Treasure"), Michael Clarke Duncan ("Daredevil"), Djimon Hounsou ("Amistad"), and Steve Buscemi ("Reservoir Dogs").

Controversial big-budget director Michael Bay ("The Rock," "Armageddon") is usually good for some summertime mayhem, and here he’s woking from a screenplay by Caspian Treadwell-Owen ("Beyond Borders") and the writing team of Alex Kurtzman & Roberto Orci ("The Legend of Zorro"). "The Island" hits theaters on July 22nd.
