Feb 16 2006Giamatti Joins Tender Interface

Paul Giamatti and Clemence Poesy have signed on to star in Hungarian filmmaker Ildiko Enyedi's upcoming sci-fi movie, Tender Interface.

The English language sci-fi film, scheduled to shoot in the first half of the year, is about a young girl playing video games who gets dragged back in time to 1939 New York City where the H-bomb is being devised by Hungarian scientists.

Okay, let's pretend for a moment that time travel is somehow possible-- I'll give them that one. So we've got this girl in 1939 who's good at video games. How is she getting involved in the Manhattan Project? I assumed there were security clearances and scientific qualifications necessary to work on the H-bomb. Apparently, being a 10-year-old girl from the future meets those needs. Are we so desperate for a sequel to A Kid in King Arthur's Court that we'll just accept any time traveling kid in any situation?

I'll give them the benefit of the doubt that they must find some way that this plot is in any way feasible, but the moment she starts steering an H-bomb with a joystick I'm walking out of the theatre.
