News: Hitting the Silver Screen + '11-11-11' trailer action

‘Saw’ director agrees in theory with Harold Camping
                Darren Lynn Bousman, director of “Saw” 2-4, has some choice words for humanity in the new trailer for his number-themed thriller “11-11-11.” In a nutshell, he agrees with doomsday preacher Harold Camping’s bleak view of humanity’s future.
                Watch the trailer to find out just what he has to say. The clip is less than a minute long, but features some horribly clichéd voice over work. Bousman’s message comes right at the end, so I’d urge you to fast forward.
                “11-11-11” follows an American living abroad who uncovers the terrifying truth about the end of the world. Just picture “The Number 23,” but with 11 instead. Compelling and very umm… original… stuff. I bet you can’t guess when it hits theaters.
                How’d you know?
