The Big Bang is an action thriller starring Antonio Banderas as a private detective searching for a stripper who has a connection to a particle collider. The twist? No one has ever seen her.
Wait. Then how does he know to look for her?
I was really excited for this film when I thought it was a theatrical version of The Big Bang Theory, which is in my top five favorite current TV shows, but it has nothing to do with the show. I hope it turns out that the stripper is really a super genius physicist and she just strips for research or some other retarded reason. Or maybe she’s the ONE stripper who actually put herself through college.
The Big Bang
Tony Krantz is in the driver’s seat for The Big Bang, and you all will most likely be familiar with his work as Executive Producer for 24 and Felicity. He also produced Hiller and Diller, which I initially read as Hitler and Diller, which made me do a double take. How awesome would that show have been? Anyways, he doesn’t have much theatrical experience, hence the hiring of Antonio Banderas (got you again, Banderas!) but I think he’ll be okay.

I would normally be really interested in a detective story like The Big Bang, but the trailer looked terrible.
Our Clever Prediction
The film is getting a limited release, and Antonio Banderas isn’t exactly a draw anymore, except for when he plays a cartoon cat, of course. But who doesn’t love cartoon cats?
