Ultraviolet Movie

While parakkum and I were walking around WonderCon, we passed by the Sony Pictures booth which had movie posters up for Silent Hill and Ultraviolet.
"I wonder if Ultraviolet is based on the TV show", parakkum said as we walked past the booth.

"Probably not. I don't remember chicks with swords with writing on it being in the british tv show Ultraviolet. I think it was supposed to have more of an X-files feel to it." I said.

After watching the trailer, I realized that Milla Jovovich (The Fifth Element, Resident Evil: Apocalypse plays the main character, Violet.
Writer and Director Kurt Wimmer (who created Equilibrium) says that Violet uses a much more accurate version of "Gun Kata" used in Equilibrium. To quote Equilibrium:

"The gun katas. Through analysis of thousands of recorded gunfights, the Cleric has determined that the geometric distribution of antagonists in any gun battle is a statistically predictable element. The gun kata treats the gun as a total weapon, each fluid position representing a maximum kill zone, inflicting maximum damage on the maximum number of opponents while keeping the defender clear of the statistically traditional trajectories of return fire. By the rote mastery of this art, your firing efficiency will rise by no less than 120%. The difference of a 63% increase to lethal proficiency makes the master of the gun katas an adversary not to be taken lightly. "

In Equilibrium, the fight choreographer was trained in hard-style Karate, and modified Gun Kata slightly, so what's shown in the movie is mostly hard-style rather than Wimmer's original smooth, soft-style that he invented in his backyard.
Equilibrium had a really small release in theaters back in 2002. When I went to see it at the theater, there was probably less than a dozen people sitting with me. Equilibrium was a fun movie, and looking at the
Ultraviolet Trailer, I think Ultraviolet will also be fun. It won't win any awards, but it should be a nice visual feast for the eyes.
