"The Island" starring Scarlet *DROOL*

[TheCroShow]

So the trailers are out for "The Island" and it looks incredible, and OH BABY Scarlet Johanssen (sp?) looks AMAZING.

anyway, the concept to the movie is not entirely original..i'm trying to figure out where this story has been done before. i believe it was in an episode of a tv show like sliders or quantam leap...does anyone else recall this episode or movie??

from what i can remember, a male character was checking out the line-ups for the atm, and quickly realized you can withdraw any amount you wanted. in his moment of greed the character withdrew a hideous amount of money, as he walked away, a citizen commented, "gotta admire the gamblers," or something to that extent. the character from the beginning "won" the lottery and it was later revealed that he would be killed.

HELP ME! where has this story been done before??

Grivan,

As soon as I clicked on that link I got a message saying my virus detector found and deleted a virus. It was a high risk virus.

That is strange.... It was a link to a full text version of the short story "The Lottery" which someone else has already mentioned.

Sliders did an episode exactly like that. The winner of the lottery received a lot of money, but was to be executed shortly.

Of course, there is also the classic short story "The Lottery" by Shirley Jackson.

I've heard a rumor that, in one scene, she thought it would be more realistic if she were topless, but the director wanted to maintain the PG-13 rating. Needless to say, I won't be seeing it now.
