Trump posted:David Thewlis and especially Ghassan Massoud owned the screen everytime they appeared. I felt the same way about Troy, but that was more due to them somehow completely loving up because if anyone could pull off prissy prince that everyone loving hates and hopes dies horribly it is Orlando Bloom, but alas

Troy is one of my most hated Hollywood movies ever, so much I usually forget Orlando Bloom is even in it.ProfessorProf posted:I really, really hope that Pacific Rim doesn't turn out to be Cloverfield with Robots. That would be helluva coincidence huh? Like, the same movie, but robots instead of yuppies.

achillesforever6 posted:Well aren't all fairy tales really dark stories that have been lighten up in the past century? The last couple of centuries now, but yes. They're still meant for children aged five to ten, though, as they were originally told as much to instruct and to warn as to entertain. Take Little Red Riding Hood, for example: a girl talks to a strange man in the woods and tells him where she's going. The stranger then murders her grandmother and lies in wait for the girl. When she arrives, he rapes and murders her. The lesson for the child: never talk to strangers. If you're only familiar with the Disneyfied versions, let me tell you, the originals are more like the Saw movies. The stepsisters in Cinderella cut off pieces of their feet so the slipper will fit - and the slipper itself was a sexual innuendo that has been lost in translation - and the prince who wakes Sleeping Beauty did a hell of a lot more than just kiss her.

Come on. The trailer shows magic beans sprouting a beanstalk and lifting a house up into the air and there was a "fe fi fo fum" line.

The AV Club just debuted a new feature which should be of some interest to this thread. Trailers Revisted in which they do a post mortem of movie trailers after the movie has come out. Focusing on whether the trailer accurately represented the movie or not.

I just came back from watching Skyfall and this piece of poo poo was shown in front of it: Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9246msCh7x4 That could just as well be named "Spiderman and Strawberry shortcake: Witch Hunters" The only thing that has anything to do with anything is that in the original story Hansel and Gretel went to a witch's house and almost got eaten. And that Hansel and Gretel are two names that people recognize. My suggestion for the name also satisfies the second condition.

Usually Hollywood is pretty gun-shy about retrying a failed idea (The Brothers Grimm) and this looks easily as bad so who knows what the thinking was behind this.

And that Hansel and Gretel are two names that people recognize. It's also what the comic Fables did with Hansel, except he became more of a witch inquisitor instead of a witch hunter. And Gretel did not really go that route. Really, though, for a concept as simple as "people fighting supernatural monsters in a medievalish age," why does Hollywood keep loving it up? Brothers Grimm, Van Helsing, and now Hansel and Gretel. Even the recent Wolfman with Benicio Del Toro seems to have been mostly forgotten, so much so that I can't even remember whether that was actually the name of the movie. I'm trying to actually think of a movie in this "genre" that doesn't suck, and the only thing I can think of is Brotherhood of the Wolf. teagone posted:Benedict Cumberbatch's voice is so loving amazing. I'm really happy to see that Cumberbatch is getting a lot of exposure. Hopefully not being overexposed, but drat that voice is just awesome.

I think that the movie being just "Witch Hunters" would be just about as appealing (admittedly not very), based on that trailer. The hunters being Hansel and Gretel really does not add anything to it. They could be two people hunting witches for ~reasons~, and witches could still capture kids from medieval villages. And they could still fight eachother with fantastical anachronistic weapons. I guess they could do something brilliant with the Hansel and Gretel premise (doubtful, guessing that the main villain is their step mom, who is also a witch/vampire/werewolf for some reason), but judging from that trailer the only reason it has their names on it is because of theid childhood experience, they have a "taste of witch blood".

Y'know, Tom Cruise is an odd, Xenu-worshipping, sycophantic madman with a poo poo-eating grin (and a thousand yard stare), but goddamn if he doesn't make entertaining movies. I am excited for this film.

Official trailer released: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQ3Mt9yiz6k I love the aesthetics of the trailer. Hadn't heard anything regarding this movie, but drat does it look visually stunning. It has a District 9 vibe to it or something. Maybe it's the white armor/weapons, heh. I guess this and Elysium are my top sci-fi films to look out for this spring/summer. teagone fucked around with this message at 05:03 on Dec 9, 2012 |

Speleothing posted:I found that trailer to be very confusing and somewhat generic. I don't know, I got a decent grasp of the film from the trailer I think. Tom Cruise is one of the last humans on earth after decades of warring with an alien species. Despite winning the war, the human race bailed into space as a result of that interstellar confrontation leaving the earth in a state of desolation. Cruise is a repairman of some kind, fixing up drones that are (what I assume) cleaning up/prepping earth for the return of the human race. Jack (Cruise), only has 2 weeks left before his shift is over, but unfortunately comes into contact with maybe some stowaway aliens who got left behind, and eventually gets captured by some kind of underground resistance/war refugees led by Morgan Freeman. The rest is up in the air regarding those two bits, but for the most part, it feels very much like an action oriented WALL-E, like The Slipper Nipple mentioned.

There also seems to be something to do with lost/recovered memories going on. Notice how Cruise's character has a memory of the pre-war world, despite that being sixty years ago. Then there's this woman he doesn't remember for some reason, plus the tagline.
