Evolution
In his latest science fiction/comedy film, Ghostbusters director Ivan Reitman once again deals with a team of individuals fighting the big, scary, and slimy. However, this group, consisting of X Files' David Duchovny, Dude, Where's My Car's Seann William Scott, 7 Up's spokesman Orlando Jones, and Academy Award nominated Julianne Moore, does not battle ghosts and ghouls. Rather, this fantastic four battles the creatures of our evolutionary past after a meteor's collision with Earth sets off a repeat of the world's four-billion year evolutionary period in the duration of a month. Respective
physical and fratboy comedians Jones and Scott will no doubt bring laughs with their traditional slapstick antics. More surprising and perhaps more enticing are the unconventional roles of Duchovny and Moore in a comedy. Judging by the film's trailer, in which Duchovny rocks out in a Jeep with his two male cohorts and Moore trips embarrassingly upon introducing herself to a group of individuals, the two actors are game. The film's tagline reads "Have a nice end of the world." If it succeeds in its goal, viewers of Evolution will have a nice laugh in the process.
