I’m voting for a new law that bans Joel Schumacher from making big budget movies, as when he’s working with limited resources, such as on Veronica Guerin, Tigerland, Flawless and Phone Booth, be normally comes up with something interesting, but give him loads of cash, such as on his Batman movies and Phantom Of The Opera, and the results are hideous. Twelve thankfully looks like it could be one of the former, as despite the presence of Gossip Girl hunk Chase Crawford, it appears fairly gritty and more intriguing than your usual teen flick. The film follows a high school dropout turned drug dealer. His lucrative life sours when the dealer’s cousin is brutally murdered on an East Harlem playground and his best friend is arrested for the crime, although as the film suggests, there’s a bit of romance thrown in as well. The trailer that’s just popped up online is actually a promo designed to get distributors interested in the movie, but it’s well worth a look. As yet no release date has been set for the film.
