Can Dakota Fanning Save Chris Evans' Life With Her Sass And Visions?

Meredith Woerner — Mon, 26 Jan 2009 16:04:34 PST

Clairvoyant Dakota Fanning and telekinetic Chris Evans are on a mission to save their skins from Cassie's dire prediction, in some new clips from the new mind-bending movie Push.

Push, the movie about a bunch of mind powered teens on the run from the evil Division (which most likely uses the brain powers of vision, telekinesis, sonic screaming and memory-implanting for evil). In these three new clips, see Dakota (Cassie) who has the power to see the future, and Chris (Nick) who has the power to move things with his big mind, fight evil and search for answers. Push, directed by Paul McGuigan, will be out in theaters on February 6th.

It's Heroes — The Movie!

Charlie Jane Anders — Fri, 17 Oct 2008 13:40:00 PDT

The trailer for Dakota Fanning's superpowered teen rebel movie Push has finally come out... and the storyline looks a lot like your fave mutant angst show, Heroes. Except that it looks action-movie awesome, with tons of superpowered people throwing down and telekinesis-assisted gun battles. And it'll only last a couple of hours, which will probably limit the amount of superpowered incest. Details (and spoilers) below.

So yeah, the story revolves around a group of people who were born with uncanny abilities, like telekinesis, telepathy and the ability to see the future. And there's a secret organization that hunts them and wants to make use of their powers. And someone has painted the future, in which our heroes die. So it's up to them to change the future. So far, so Heroic.

Actually, some of the details are a bit different. Chris Evans' character, Nick Gant, isn't just a mutant — he was genetically altered to be a government assassin. His father is murdered, and he swears revenge against the government agency that created him. Hiding out in Hong Kong, he pulls together a group of "rogue psychics" to take down the secret organization Division. As you see in the trailer, he teams up with Cassie Holmes (Fanning), and besides the missing girl, they're also looking for a suitcase that holds the key to defeating Division. Along the way, they learn about Division's newest project, a drug called R16, which could "shift the tides of psychic warfare."

Flame Off! Johnny Storm Says Fantastic Four 3 Is Dead

We may never get to see Sue Storm give birth to Franklin Richards, as actress Jessica Alba has promised. A third Fantastic Four movie is looking unlikely, says Johnny Storm actor Chris Evans, thanks to the negative feedback the first two movies have gotten. Fox has stayed mum about continuing the franchise, and Evans is eager to move on to other challenges. But he'd be up for a cameo as Johnny in a Spider-Man or Hulk movie. [MTV Movies]
