We had the tv on today with no sound, I ended up turning to a short special on E! or whatever about The Island, and until it said "The Island" I thought I was watching Logan's Run.

I think Michael Bay got whiff of Logan's Run remake and decided to beat it to the punch.
I mean, come on, "Jordan 6-echo" is a main character.

What's the deal with that girl calling herself Scarlette Johanson? That always bothers me... there's no way it's a real name.

This movie reminds me of a Matrix meets Logan's run. There's actually a possible ARG since no one else has seemed to mention it here...

Movie based sites have been cropping up all over the place in the past few years, many have puzzles associated with them (gives the fans something to click and discover on the website).

But there is a difference between movie promotional websites and ARG (but imbri or phaedra or addlepated or others are much better at explaining the difference between ARG and promotional games).

Well this topic sure did get a lot of attention. Well, Im a little lazy, but the whole thing with this movie "The Island", you cant say it is a lot like Logan's Run. If it were, the people who have the rights to the franchise would sue the pants off of these guys. Its a lot of Legal stuff, but thats the basic jist of it.

Nah, I'm pretty sure we're just waiting now.

That is, unless someone can find a meaning for "this baby" Laughing

To be honest, The Island sounds more like a remake of the 1979 scifi/horror movie Parts: The Clonus Horror
