    Horrible thought (one amongst many) ....

    Given Hollywood's propensity to duplicate career paths (over and over again), does this mean that the next Sarah Connor (in McG and Bale's, oh-so-awaited, Terminator 5) will be played by THE Mary-Kate Olsen?

    PS Does this mean that Sarah will discover that she has a long-lost twin?

    Hmm. Tricky. If he leaves the room, how can they talk to him anyway? Also, judging from the trailer, most of them spoil their papers so I guess they get "disqualified" which I presume means "killed".

    Isn't it interesting though, how they all stress out and turn on each other instead of just sitting there for 80mins following the rules. Because that is what I think is the twist. All they have to do is not talk to the invigilator or the guard and don't do anything with their paper so it remains unspoiled - that means not even writing on it. So easy. (and logical, if you have seen The Cube and know what they should have done in that. Its always the simplest solutions that get overlooked. We humans like to complicate/over think things.)

    @astrogirl: Yeah, seems like there's some other unwritten "rule" that's not been explained... why not just wait till the timer is up?

    Also, the rule "don't spoil your (own) papers" -- but it says nothing about spoiling other people's papers, does it?

    Looks like it will have some kind of vague, philosophical ending... but I'm cool with those, if done right. All in all, looks interesting.

    @astrogirl: @Bigdamnhero: Yeah, it feels like some kind of commentary on blind ambition--like, if you're the kind of person who's go-gettery enough to get to the final stages of the exam, so ruthless and cutthroat and what have you, there's no way you can just sit still knowing that the seven other candidates have an equally good chance of winning the competition as you.

    Ok, as I've got my law school finals coming up in a few weeks, Exam freaks me out.

    That being said, really reminds me of Cube, and Cube was fucking awesome, so I'm game.

    Personally, I'm disappointed there's a movie titled "Beastly" coming out and it doesn't involve this guy.

    Is it wrong I found the guy in Beastly (accidentally typed "bweasty" and will probably start calling it that) hotter after he was made ugly?

    In The Exam trailer I love how quickly this little confined space thing turns into violence, torture, and I'm assuming, murder.

    In all honesty the second one of those douchey looking alpha males tried to take over most of the peeps probably would've been like, "you know what? This job isn't worth a sociological experiment to see how disgusting humans in competition can be" and walked out the door.

    The Exam reminds me of Naruto, In Naruto they are forced to take a exam and the questions are impossible to solve and the whole point was to learn how to cheat. so i bet in the end of the movie answer is BLANK cause the question is blank.
