Alex Proyas is the visionary director of such groundbreaking, thought provoking science fiction movies as The Crow, Dark City, and I, Robot. So what the heck is he doing directing another one of Nicolas Cage’s formula, thriller chillers? I have no idea, but judging from the first ever trailer for their movie Knowing, Proyas hasn’t been able to change Cage’s traditionally banal ways.
I’ll say this for it: At least it looks like it’s well directed. Unfortunately, well directed or not, from the trailer Knowing still sounds like a combo retread of The Number 23 and Next. Not exactly good territory to wander into, though certainly both are movies with plenty of room for improvement. Maybe Proyas can pull it off. If anyone can, he’s the man. Watch the first ever trailer for Knowing:
