Probably, but you're right The Informant! was enough to use up the exclamation point in title quota for all filmmakers.

Yeah, the effects are decent... dogfights could be fun enough. Movie seems to have absolutely no aesthetic, however. Hardly even looks like a movie - more an assemblage of faces and speeches and CG planes.
 
Not sure what to think. I thought the play was pretty dull, to be honest, but maybe it could make for a good film? Who knows.

POLANSKI’S LATEST OPENING NYFF

With two months until the start of the 49th New York Film Festival, the Film Society has some big news this afternoon. The 2011 NYFF will open with the North American premiere of Carnage, Roman Polanski’s adaptation of Yasmina Reza’s Tony Award winning play, God of Carnage.

The festival will kick-off at Alice Tully Hall here at Lincoln Center on Friday, September 30th and continue at Lincoln Center through October 16th.

Polanski’s new film, set amidst a tumultuous encounter inside a Brooklyn apartment, stars Jodie Foster, Kate Winslet, Christoph Waltz and John C. Reilly. It follows the events of an evening when two Brooklyn couples are brought together after their children are involved in a playground fight.

The Polish-French filmmaker is no stranger to the New York Film Festival. His first feature, Knife in the Water, played at the first New York Film Festival in 1963.

"From Knife in the Water to Repulsion to The Tenant, Roman Polanski has shown himself to be an absolute master at making the most restricted spaces come to dramatic life,” praised Film Society program director Richard Peña today, “In Carnage, aided by four remarkable performances, he has reached a new pinnacle in his already extraordinary career.”

Do you think they tricked Cuba Gooding Jr. by telling him there were snow dogs instead of aerial dogfights?
 
It's based on a play called Farragut North, after the metro station near Capitol Hill. Granted, that isn't exactly marketing gold, but the play was pretty well publicized.
