"Race to Witch Mountain" – Preview & Trailer

This looks kind of fun, and I’m guessing it’s a modern remake of the original “Witch Mountain” movies from the 1970′s.

“Race to Witch Mountain” revolves around a secret place in the middle of the Nevada desert called Witch Mountain. It’s known for unexplained phenomena and strange sightings.

When a Las Vegas cab driver (Dwayne Johnson) finds two teens (AnnaSophia Robb and Alexander Ludwig) with supernatural powers in his cab, he suddenly finds himself in the middle of an adventure he can’t explain. When they discover that the only chance to save the world lies in unraveling the secrets of Witch Mountain, the race begins, as the government, mobsters and even extraterrestrials try to stop them.

In theaters March 13, 2009. And it’s nice to see AnnaSophia Robb do something fun for a change; she’s done some pretty heavy movies in recent years.
