Premium Rush - A movie about biking.

There is a new movie called "Premium Rush" coming out in theaters on Aug. 24. A movie aimed towards the mountain biking and road biking crowd but with a fixie. I know a fixie, but if you have ever ridden a fixie you know its hard to do a trick let alone jump up or off a ledge, and "Wilee" kills it on the streets of Manhattan. I saw the trailer for it and it does not look too bad, I am interested in seeing it. I can already tell there will be a few "yeah right" moments during the movie but It looks pretty cool, bike jumps and explosions, -NICE!

Here is the story from the premiumrush.com website:

Dodging speeding cars, crazed cabbies and eight million cranky pedestrians is all in a day's work for Wilee (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), the best of New York's agile and aggressive bicycle messengers. It takes a special breed to ride the fixie - super lightweight, single-gear bikes with no brakes and riders who are equal part skilled cyclists and nutcases who risk becoming a smear on the pavement every time they head into traffic. But a guy who's used to putting his life on the line is about to get more than even he is used to when his last envelope of the day - a routine "premium rush" run - turns into a life or death chase through the streets of Manhattan. 

I know this will not be the next "Rad" but its good to see they are at least making movies about our cycling lifestyle. Now if we can only get Sony to fund a movie of a few guys being chased down a mountain with some brand new downhill rigs right? Action packed with speed, huge gaps, awesome trails and women. The new #1 hit this summer already. OK, enough dreaming.

I want to see Premium Rush in the theaters hopefully when it comes out or a least next to the release date and try to post a follow up for those who are interested in the movie. If you see it before me please feel free to leave a comment, let me know what you thought of it. By the way check out their website they have a few bicycle games if you need to kill sometime.
