a movie based on what?

my first real post eh? here we go.

this post is about the upcoming movie Push,

i am a comic book fan but even i am getting tired of seeing every movie in the last 5 years being based on a video game or comic book or novel or older movie or tv show or theme park ride or child's feverish nightmare. have we truly used up every original idea.

so imagine my surprise when i saw a commercial for a sci fi movie that looks half decent and find out it is based on a script for a movie. SHOCKING i know. who would ever imagin that in this day and age people in the world want to see something they have never seen before.

that being said it is far from a totaly original idea, group of people with special powers hiding there abilities and living on the run from the government. i can think of a few similar works of entertainment:

Heroes
x-men
Dark angel (especialy the dystopian future aspect)
and about a thousand more

but its not always the story but the journey. i am willing to overlook the overused premis to find out how it is presented in a new way.

please don't let me down.

hopefully when that movie comes out i can watch it and do a review of it to see if it lives up to my own internal hype.
