If you do, i'll one up you by starting Rats Unlimited LLC, and will provide limitless amounts of rats to those who wish to pay me for said rats. The logo for this company will feature a wacky cartoon version of the Pied Piper of Hamelin. Gonz fucked around with this message at 14:37 on Mar 24, 2013 |

Would there be legal issues if I name my production company "A Thousand Elephants"?

Ghostpilot posted:In keeping with the ninja theme: Godfrey Ho is (was?) amazing. Every once in a while he'd pack a truck full of costumes and props, round up a bunch of "actors" and go just shoot whatever the hell they wanted. Fight scenes, conversations, a big guy in a teflon shooting a fake laser minigun in a village, you know, the works. Then he'd go back home, take his hours of material and through cutting and dubbing turn it into half a dozen movies. You'll see scenes repeat with different dubbing, the same characters being heroes and villains in various movies and so on. If you like "so bad it's good", anything by Godfrey Ho is a rock-solid choice.

ninjahedgehog posted:Is there a version of this with just RDJ and Gyneth Paltrow, without all the other people in the background? Because I think that could be a decent poster. Yep.  Having all the other characters in the background is pointless, and this is definitely a much stronger poster. Iron Man 3 has actually had a really great marketing campaign in general.

Suzuki Method posted:Actually, when I went to go look it up, it seems I am mistaking The Hills Have Eyes 2 poster's controversy with a different controversy. The blood having to be changed to dark brown thing must have been on another poster (I distinctly remember this being an issue), THHE2's poster's problem was that in the first poster, they had someone who was clearly alive being dragged, like this: I guess none of that mattered when the DVD came out.  I seem to recall seeing some original artwork for the first remake that was rejected by the MPAA.

New World War Z poster - I like it, and I'm struggling to think of any other movie which has used the pseudo-monochrome/silhouette effect on this kind of scale before.

It single-handedly tells you everything you need to know re: how the zombies in the movie are different from traditional zombies and looks pretty cool independent of that.

There's also a non silhouette version of that poster. I think both versions are really good. I'm slightly more interested in watching the film now.

I'm just wondering why they bothered basing it on or naming it after World War Z, since I don't recall that book mentioning anything about ant zombies. World War Z was pretty much just a straightforwards Romero rip-off except told in a more realistic documentary style. I like the idea of what they're doing with the film, but calling it "World War Z" at this point, with the direction they've taken it, is meaningless.

I'm worried about this, but for different reasons than you I think. The novel is a telling of how numerous countries dealt with the growing problem and it provided what was, at the time, a unique take on the genre: zombie apocalypse in a different country. That I think is the most interesting thing about the novel, experiencing what's happening in Russia and Israel and China and so on. I feel that the movie is going to be almost entirely centered around the United States and Brad Pitt's family there, with the other countries relegated to "updates" via news clips and things to that effect. That will entirely miss the concept of the novel, and I'm banking on that happening.

From what I know about the film (which is, admittedly little) I don't think much of it takes place in the States at all. I think he's supposed to be overseas with his family when the outbreak occurs. What I found most interesting about the book was less of the actual outbreak and more the reconstruction. The idea that we are a country of mid-level managers and majority of people with any practical skills for rebuilding the country are tradesmen immigrants was nice.

The "novel" is really a collection of short stories. And that's something that's hard to adapt. It would've been interesting to give each story to a different director who could shoot in their own country. I liked the idea that the survivors couldn't really do anything about the zombies in the ocean or the zombies that were frozen so they basically have to stay vigilant for decades. It's really unsettling, especially once you start thinking of real world analogies to that.
