McG making a Puzzle Palace



Posted by on 28. 10. 2011in Uncategorized


I can say a lot of things about my reactions to film that McG has directed. Few of those things would be positive. I always cringe a little when I read that ‘name’ in a headline, and this is no exception. He’s not working on Ouija this go round, no, instead he’s making a movie about breaking into One Police Plaza.

The director has begun negotiations with Summit Entertainment to step behind the camera for their thriller Puzzle Palace. The film comes from the mind of David Guggenheim, who has another thriller coming out next spring with Safe House starring Ryan Reynolds and Denzel Washington. We’ll get a glimpse of that one with the first trailer before Tower Heist next week, but one can read a synopsis of Puzzle Palace below.
The story centers on a lawyer and the son of a veteran police officer who learns his father is framed for murder. When he finds out that there is evidence hidden that could free his father, he is determined to find it, even though it means breaking into One Police Plaza, the most secure building in all of New York City. He ends up being locked inside the police HQ with crooked cops on his tail.

I think it would be kinda cool to see a movie about someone trying to break into this place, and the subsequent chase. I want to like the premise of this movie but all I see are the letter ‘M’,'c’, and ‘G’ and everything goes straight into the toilet. Are you excited about this project?
