Rollerball
is
the 2002 remake about a culture under global corporate domination. Violent
Rollerball, a track game played with motorcycles and roller skaters, is
the blood sport of society. Chris Klein stars as Jonathan Cross, who races
down San Francisco's steep streets on his back, against traffic, before
moving on to the big time as a Rollerballer. This downtown stretch of Sacramento
Street along Nob Hill, Chinatown, and the Financial District is a featured
location. LL Cool J and Rebecca Romijn-Stamos also appear. Critics hated
this remake, directed by John McTiernan, who also made "Die Hard." The
superior 1975 original was directed by Norman Jewison. Both versions were
written by William Harrison from his story Roller Ball Murders.
