america is a nation obsessed with (and delighting in) cruelty and death, it makes sense that its films reflect that.

The actual films were made several years apart, but it's funny to see Glenn Powell in this plane movie just a few months after Top Gun: Maverick.

Iron Eagle was actually done before Top Gun.

Yeah, it's just funny to see the same actor in both is all. This is like if Val Kilmer had also been in Iron Eagle.

I looked into it and apparently, Glenn Powell is the guy who purchased the novel's rights to get this film made and he purchased them right after he finished filming on Top Gun. So, it's probably the case that he had fun and wanted to do more airplane stuff.

He required the other actors to do flight training to experience real Gs, like Cruise did. Though the cockpit photography sounds like it's just normal bluescreen stuff.

Jeez, could they not have picked a better shot for the preview frame? Makes it look along the same quality as *that* Fantastic Four film.

e: oh, watching it... I guess not. I've been neutral on this film the whole time, but my god if that's the best trailer they can cut from it then it's going to bomb so incredibly hard. It looks like it was made over a weekend. All the money and time recreating the house and that's what they got out of it? What an absolute waste.

I really want to hear a interview with Zombie about what he's going for, because I think the look was deliberate and it's just coming off as dated and cheapo to everyone, including people like me who are interested in the movie but just totally put off by everything they've seen so far.

Holy poo poo. How does that look worse than the new Kevin Smith movie? How?!

I'm stunned.

I don't know much about making movies, but is it possible that he planned on making it in black and white, and late in the pre-production game the studio said no, so they had to rush to adapt the sets, props, costumes, and cinematography to be in color instead, and so they had to go with the quickest, cheapest way possible?

I'm just searching for anything to explain what I just saw.

I would also very much like to see an interview with Zombie now. I feel like I need answers.

He went for a very colorful 60’s kind of inspired thing and he just pushed it a bit too hard with a bad camera.

Thinking about it for more than a second, I'm wondering if he is trying for the Robert Rodriguez route with Spy Kids and his other kids movies. Which similarly look just insane.

His solo career has been pretty dreadful in my eyes - so who knows where the magic came from on Sexorcisto and Astro-Creep. That being said, the 1st album has some decent songs but nothing since has even compared.

...I still will see him live though cause the show is amazing and John 5 is a god at guitar

Found an interview from last month where he talks about the colors.

quote:

As he puts it, “I knew that if I went in and demanded ‘This movie’s going to be in black and white or forget it!’ we would not be talking about the Munsters right now, because it would have never happened,” adding a classic Zombie “I guaran-f---ing-tee it,” to drive the point home.

But Zombie didn’t allow this slight setback to stifle his creativity and stop him from putting his own twist on the feature. Instead, he decided to make it overly colorful in a way that he describes as making the colors “hyper-real.” He knew his plan was working when he saw the actors strolling around the set in between takes commenting, “they looked like cartoon characters come to life. They were just so insanely colorful.” From there, the seasoned horror filmmaker knew it was up to him to bring the eye-catching colors full circle. Realizing that he would need to “light the movie in the same fashion,” the director set out to give the flick a “live action cartoon” feel, something that absolutely comes through in the couch scene at the end of the teaser.

Well, IMO it doesn't look like a live action cartoon, it looks like a live-action TV Movie circa 1981.
