Release Date: February 10th, 2006 Plot Summary: Firewall stars Harrison Ford as bank security expert Jack Stanfield, whose specialty is designing infallible theft proof financial computer systems. But there's a hidden vulnerability in the system he didn't account for... himself. When a ruthless criminal mastermind (Paul Bettany) kidnaps his family, Jack is forced to find a flaw in his system and steal $100 million. With the lives of his wife and children at stake and under constant surveillance, he has only hours to find a loophole in the thief's own impenetrable system of subterfuge and false identities to beat him at his own game. |

February 13th, 2006 Well, as many of you know Firewall opened in 4th place over the weekend with $13.8 million. Here is the results of the top four movies: 1 The Pink Panther $21.7 Although Firewall performed slightly under expectations ($15 - $18 was projected) one good sign is that it did open better than K19 and Hollywood Homicide. Good word of mouth could possibly help Firewall in the long run. Many are have begun speculating as to why Harrison's return to the silver screen after three years was met with a low turnout and here are some things to consider:
There is a good chance that Firewall will build up due to various factors:
Although I was very disappointed at Firewall's opening weekend numbers, I am hopeful that good word of mouth will carry this movie the next few weeks. On the right you'll notice I've added a box office tracking section where visitors can keep track daily on how well the movie is doing. Have some other updates for you and at this time I want to personally thank Grethe for all her help during the Firewall coverage and for keeping me on my lazy feet. She has done a terrific job at keeping forum members and hopefully some site visitors happy with a constant update of the Sound & Vision gallery where people can view videos of Harrison's recent TV appearances. She has also been helpful with updating the main page and coming up with ideas on how to provide visitors with even more goodies/information. Thank you Grethe. In the Sound & Vision gallery Grethe has added Harrison's appearances on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, Conan O'brien, The Early Show plus more. Go check it out and enjoy |

April 25th, 2004 Ford back in his 'Element' According to Variety, Harrison's next movie will be "The Wrong Element", the Joe Forte scripted action/thriller in which Harrison would "play the security chief for a global bank whose family is kidnapped. He's asked to topple his own security safeguards and steal $37 million from the bank to save his family. Then he has to stop the kidnappers, who've created a complex trail that will make him look guilty of embezzlement." From: Variety "Heading back into hero mode, Harrison Ford will topline "The Wrong Element," a thriller to be financed and distributed by Warner Bros. Beacon Communications topper Armyan Bernstein is producing with Jon Shestack. Joe Forte scripted. A director will be signed shortly. Ford and Beacon last teamed on the Wolfgang Petersen - directed hit "Air Force One," a film that was also produced by Bernstein and Shestack, who was a Beacon veep at the time. Here, Ford would play the security chief for a global bank whose family is kidnapped. He's asked to topple his own security safeguards and steal $37 million from the bank to save his family. Then he has to stop the kidnappers, who've created a complex trail that will make him look guilty of embezzlement. Shestack and Forte set the project up at MGM as a spec script, and Bernstein came in after that studio put it in turnaround. They brought it to WB, which snapped it up and will fully finance it. WB exec Jeff Clifford will steer the project. Pic will be the next project for Ford, whose plans to reprise his Indiana Jones role were dashed after he, Steven Spielberg and George Lucas felt they needed a new script. Ford last starred in "Hollywood Homicide." He's repped by UTA and McQueeney Management. "The Wrong Element" will be the first go picture at WB for Shestack, who has a deal at the studio." |
