The first trailer has arrived online for the remake of Race to Witch Mountain, the one starring Dwayne Johnson (Rock), Carla Gugino and the superb Ciarán Hinds.

When I first heard about this I thought that it was going to be another half baked attempt at a remake, a quick buck with a ready made idea, and now I've seen the trailer I'm not so sure.

It's not fantastic, that's for sure, but there are moments that suggest something a little more than that. There are some interesting moments with the children, a good dynamic with Johnson as their human envoy to Witch Mountain, and some not too bad one liners that are less cheese and jokey and more than a little tinged with reality.

Yeah, it's still what it is, but there's a few more things to it than just a simple kids film don't you think?

Here's the trailer for Race to Witch Mountain, see what you think.
