I saw a huge billboard for this movie when I was in L.A.:

At the time, I assumed it was for a fake movie being referenced in a future episode of Entourage. But I just saw the same poster in Times Square today, which means Next is an actual thing.

Look at that poster. What’s going on there? Nothing means anything. 

I wish I was there for the pitch:

“Okay, so this one is called ‘Next.’”
“Good title. What’s the tag?”
“‘If you can see the future, you can save it.’”
“Nice. Good tag. Because I can’t, so I won’t, yet I want to, so I’m curious.”
“Exactly. That’s the point. And we want to cast three actors who shouldn’t ever be in the same movie.”
“Smart.”
“The hero should be a creepy old guy, we’re thinking Cage.”
“You’re telling me Nicky Cage can see the future in this movie?”
“Yes.”
“But how do we know that?”
“Because his right eye is all twinkly.”
“Got it.”
“Then we’ll get two women as co-stars. One who is old and respected, and one who is young and has a ton of cleavage.” 
“Great. Make sure the old one wears a windbreaker”
“For sure. No question.”
“Sounds great. I’m really excited.”
“I’m excited you’re excited!”
“What’s it about, again?”
“I don’t know, lava or something? We’ll figure it out in post.”
“Go for it, bro. Here’s a hundred million dollars.”
