Jan 29 2009New 'Echelon Conspiracy' (The Amazing Cell Phone-Based Thriller) Trailer!
Good news: There's a new trailer for the magical/haunted mobile phone film, Echelon Conspiracy!
Bad news: It kind of debunks the magicality/hauntedness of the phone by grounding it to the realm of people controlling omniscient computers. Oh, well--nothing can stay perfect forever.
This could still redeem itself if the phone is what's responsible for getting him laid. "Tell that babe you have a well-paying job as an advertising executive..."

I remember when you made fun of the first ad for this movie (very funny) but I think the long version looks kinda cool... Now that they're selling the action stuff and not the phone the movie doesn't look silly anymore... Think I'll check this one out now, so I guess its a pretty effective ad!

aren't bluetooths extremely vulnerable to hacking?

Wow X-Men, don't you feel like a fucking tard?

In Forgetting Sarah Marshall, they make fun of a fictitious movie that's about a cell phone that kills people. To think that the same people who laughed at the absurdity of that premise are probably going to go see this movie. It makes you lose your faith in humankind.

Eagle Eye II. Neat.

So it's Eagle Eye, except the computers are the good guys.

Plus he's like 20 minutes behind the actual first poster and let's hope he has that key-bound or something cause if not, we've got a real psycho on our hands here gentlemen.

That's either the most expensive straight-to-DVD film in a while, or the cheapest theatrical release. How badly filmed was that action? And was Shane West playing slot machines in the backroom of a Target? Weak sauce, as the internet people say.

I'll probably end up renting this, even if it does look awful. The cast is just barely good enough to warrant a rent.
I'm confused, though. How can the NSA's mainframe computer predict when a plane will crash, when a slot machine will pay out and when to bet at poker? Is the dealer hooked up to the mainframe? Is this another shitty Matrix sequel in disguise?

"In Forgetting Sarah Marshall, they make fun of a fictitious movie that's about a cell phone that kills people"
I think they were mocking Pulse but changed computers to cell phones.

@#11, i think in the commentary of Forgetting Sarah Marshall, they said that they weren't making fun of any movie whatsoever, that they were just trying to come up with a really shitty plot for a movie. They made a big deal in the commentary about that because Kristen Bell was in Pulse and she thought they were making fun of her and in reality they had never even seen/heard of that movie.

If the NSA mainframe computer is as powerful as represented it could sned bad data to the airplane or jam it's radar,etc. The slot machine is a machine. It could get in through power lines or maybe beam a signal to it(?). The dealer thing is easier. It could be watching him on camera and counting cards. It could also time traffic lights and mess with someone's Magellan, causing you to get hit by a well-timed car.
I wrote this movie. Sorry.

I think someone really needs to properly de-interlace that trailer

This was already made in france, look up hellphone...

Shane West looks like a retard. Ed Burns is hot! He should have gotten the main part! And kissed Tamara! :) Only will watch because Ed Burns is in it. Will laugh at West! The phone is probably a better actor than Mr. Shane West.
