Travolta and Jackson`s "Basic" instinct
By Jason Alcorn, Hollywood.com Staff

HOLLYWOOD, September 28, 2001 -- Pulp Fiction fans have a new reason to rejoice: John Travolta and Samuel L Jackson--who both starred in Quentin Tarantino`s 1994 hit--are pairing up again for Phoenix Pictures` new military thriller Basic, set to begin production in November.

Story continues below

Travolta and Jackson will play the leads in Basic, a drama centering on a Drug Enforcement Agency officer`s investigation of the mysterious disappearance of a famed U.S. Army drill instructor and a group of cadets, Variety reports.

John McTiernan (The Thomas Crown Affair) will direct Basic based on the screenplay by newcomer James Vanderbilt.

Basic (2003)

Synopsis: Tom Hardy, an ex-Army Ranger turned DEA agent, is drawn into an ever-widening mystery surrounding the disappearance of the feared and often hated Sgt. Nathan West, as well as several of his elite Special Forces trainees on what appears, at first, to have been a routine training exercise during a hurricane in the jungles of Panama. Only two survivors are found, Dunbar, and a badly wounded Kendall, the son of a high-profile Joint Chiefs of Staff official. Neither is willing to cooperate with Capt. Julia Osborne’s investigation. So base commander Col. Bill Styles calls in ex-Ranger Hardy, an old friend and a persuasive interrogator. Osborne disapproves of Hardy who is on leave from the D.E.A. after having come under suspicion of accepting bribes from local drug traffickers. She is also uneasy when she learns that Hardy once trained under West and hates him almost as passionately as his current recruits. With time running out, Hardy and Osborne call a temporary, if uneasy, truce. Hardy cajoles a confession out of Dunbar, who claims that Sgt. West and the missing Rangers have been murdered and their bodies blown away by the hurricane. When they later interview Kendall, he confirms that the other Rangers and West are dead. But, in almost every other way, his story contradicts Dunbar’s. What happened to West and his Ranger team? And what were they really doing out there in the jungle? As each layer reveals more lies and greater deceptions, Hardy and Osborne inch towards the horrible truth about the fate of the missing Rangers.

Mir ist das heute auch schon aufgefallen - komischerweise werden solche Änderungen auf allen wichtigen Seiten kommentarlos mitgeteilt. Sei`s drum. Vier Kinostarts in QI ! Ein Mega-Quartal deutet sich an! K-19 läuft immer noch in Bulgarien. Nächste Woche laufen acht IM/IEG-Filme weltweit !!!!

"Basic" ist ein militärischer Thriller, in dem ein DEA Agent das Verschwinden eines Ausbildungsoffiziers mitsamt seiner Kadetten während eines Trainings untersuchen muss und dabei einen mehrfachen Mord nicht ausschließt.

Könnte mir gut vorstellen, dass zum Kinostart am 28.03. viele Amis sich mit der militärischen Thematik anfreunden können.Gerade jetzt in Kriegszeiten.
