Matt Lanter might not be a household name – after all, he’s best known for recently cancelled US TV drama Commander In Chief (he played Gena Davis’ son) and a small role on current cult TV hit Heroes. But that’s about to change, as he’s just nabbed the lead in what is sure to be The Best Film Of Whenever It Comes Out – War Games 2: The Dead Code. Yeah, we’re not convinced either. They really are going ahead with this one – director Stuart Gillard calls action for the first time on 20 November – and will find Lanter matching wits against a paranoid piece of US government software convinced that the entire human race is a terrorist threat to be hunted down and taken out. Insert your own joke about George Bush here.

RE: Another pile of MGM shit?
And not that anyone cares, but contrary to what the article says it won't be Stuart Gillard's first film - I i] that honour belongs to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III.   Nobody caring?   Glad to hear it.  Why this for a much-belated 80's sequel?  How about Night Of The Comet 2?  (Actually, I've heard this one is in development...) ... Read More djsmokingjam About me
