Is that a hot cyber-vamp ass shot or what!!!
Looks like the release date for Ultraviolet, starring Mila Jovovich, has been pushed back from February 24th to March 3rd. Joblo reports the shift, as has other sites such as countdown. I’m not sure why yet - hopefully this just just a position jockying thing due to more other movies opening on the 24th versus the 3rd.
The Matrix bullet shot! Looks cool though….again…here’s to hoping its good.
In any event, it will also be interesting to see the extent to which the studio supports and markets Ultraviolet. I saw the trailer in Underworld: Evolution (which I generally liked), but haven’t seen a lot else on this. The question is especially pertinent considering the complete lack of support for Kurt Wimmer’s last directorial outing, Equilibruim (review forthcoming). Equilibrium was a pretty decent furturistic 1984-style movie oozing with cool, but got absolutely NO studio support. It has only been rediscovered by many on DVD.

Overview: This is one of the many cheesy soft-core porns where a woman in a VR simulation becomes “real” and falls in love with the VR system creator. This genius game designer creates a CD-Rom sex game called “Virtual Girl,” but somehow, the hot chick in the game becomes sentient and wants to boff his brains out. She does every fantasy he desires, and things are great until the programmer realizes he might be cheating on his wife (duh!). He tries to drop her, but the virtual girl then goes all Fatal Attraction on him, and decides to get back at him. The Virtual chick magically transforms herself into a real person in the real world and sets out to destroy his marriage, ruin his job, etc. Truly, there’s nothing all that great here (such as a coherent plot, decent acting and so forth), but there’s at least decent amount of cheesy Skinemax style love vignettes.
