John McTiernan’s ROLLERBALL takes
place in the not too distant future, and the future is fierce.
A notorious renegade sport, ROLLERBALL packs arenas all over
the world. A global viewership bets and roots for star players
Jonathan Cross (Chris Klein), Marcus Ridley (LL Cool J) and
their beautiful teammate Aurora (Rebecca Romijn-Stamos) who
skate and motorcycle past opponents to score. Despite the
danger of the game, the real threat lies in team owner
Petrovich (Jean Reno) who sacrifices anything and anyone to
maximize ratings, which are worth more to him than the final
score. In a heroic move, Jonathan and his teammates attempt to
expose the corruption and treachery. It is a risky play and
the penalty is lethal.

Rollerball
Teaser Trailer Time
Dominated
by one, controlled by a few, watched by all...
For their first update, the webmasters of Rollerball's
official
site have rolled out the film's teaser
trailer. This quick glimpse at John McTiernan's
remake begins in blackness with the sound of an
approaching steel rollerball. The revolving
sound underscores the titles: "In the not
too distant future... when nations fight over...
money... power... freedom... their weapon will
be... a 7 pound steel ball." The
accelerating CGI sphere then heads right into
the center of the screen and we're blasted into
a series of shots linked by the unified stomp of
the crowd and players.
Scenes from the film constitute pretty much only the second
half of the trailer, but the quick shots of the game's action
look pretty wild. It's LL Cool J, Chris Klein, Rebecca
Romjin-Stamos, et al. in action. And as the official site
showcases, there are "big hits." The teaser then slams
with the closer "GO BALLISTIC!"
Also added to the official site's main page is another photo
and story about Zhambal Horseman star Jonathan Cross (Chris
Klein). Concerning a rumored trade to the Marauders, Cross tells
Rollerball.com,
"I would be a mad man to trade what I have going for me
here. We plan to take this team to the post season championship
meet and bring home the trophy."
Right now the standing release date for Rollerball is
June 1. Given the poster and trailers' "Summer 2001"
statement, it's obvious there's a possibility it'll
change.
One wonders what the "92" under Aurora's eye
represents. 92 wins, or maybe 92 kills?
