Last time I saw Owen in anything was in the recent British thriller "Shadow Dancer" which was quite good. I don't think he'd have trouble finding big projects to do nowadays but seems to focus on smaller films instead. I think he's going to be in the upcoming Sin City sequel, though.

He was in Duplicity and Killer Elite, those were fairly big releases.Riflen posted:Nope. Replaced by Josh Brolin. Has that been confirmed? Some places said they're both playing him.

Stare-Out posted:drat. Aside from the fact that it really bugs me when they recast a character for a sequel, I thought Owen was excellent in the first film. Then again, could do a lot worse than Brolin I guess. Apparently the plot dictates the recasting.

Aphrodite posted:Has that been confirmed? Some places said they're both playing him. It would make sense since I believe the sequel is an adaptation of A Dame To Kill For and Dwight has plastic surgery in the middle of that story. Brolin becoming Owen (or maybe vice versa, since they could adapt it from Dwight's backstory into a new narrative) isn't out of the realm of possibility. \/\/\/ Killer Elite was pretty decent and I liked it way more than I thought I would. Also, Owen has heterochromia in that movie, because I think the character is blind in one eye or has a glass eye from a war injury.

Aphrodite posted:He was in Duplicity and Killer Elite, those were fairly big releases. Also if they're both playing Dwight that's something I can definitely get behind. I know absolutely nothing about Sin City aside from the first movie so I didn't know there was a plastic surgery angle to that whole thing.

Wikipedia has it as Brolin to Owen.Stare-Out posted:Don't think I ever caught Duplicity but Killer Elite was a really drab, by the numbers mind-number of a flick if I recall (and I don't recall much of it). I think my most prominent memory is that Owen had a moustache in it. Neither of them are good, but they're both large studio releases. He hasn't disappeared, he just doesn't do a lot of movies every year.

Recasting Dwight makes perfect sense though, considering the fact that Dwight gets extensive plastic surgery to change his appearance at the end of A Dame To Kill For. edit: beaten badly On topic, I had no idea Top Gun was getting an IMAX 3D re-release. Now the homoeroticism can explode all over your face!

Yes. Kenny Loggins falsettoing Playing with the Boys in ball-trembling THX surround sound while Val Kilmer's butt shakes in my face and his nipples seem so close I could practically reach out and tweak them. Exactly what America has been clamoring for.

I don't care how old a film is, there's no excuse for promoting the format with typeface that's almost the same size as the title. That's just tacky. But I guess that's acceptable seeing as how this is a 3D release for literally the gayest film ever made.

I will be seeing Top Gun in IMAX and it will be awesome... also that poster is fine: it's promoting the one reason why anyone would pay money to see a movie that plays on cable all the time.

Jim Carrey looks more like Mac from It's Always Sunny than actual Jim Carrey. That is Carrey on the right, correct?

I'm actually ok with that one. It uses two very iconic shapes and plays them off each other nicely. You don't need to have seen the movie, you just have to recognize the contexts of the gun and the NYC cab (it conveys the setting even!), and the title, and your brain fills in all these interesting possible stories. The text is solid, which is nice because it's not just a text-less picture-riddle like some of them have been. It conveys an emotion too, as yellow and black are the nature colors for something that is actively warning you it can be dangerous, in an attempt to garner safety. The only serious flaw is that completely pointless paper crumple texture applied over it. edit 2: and the fair amount of empty space. I can't tell if that's good use of negative space, or a waste. edit: but really, none will be as good as gun-eye Robocop. Cinnamon Bastard fucked around with this message at 06:37 on Jan 31, 2013 |

I think Carell is the only one doing a Siegfriend and Roy type, I think Carrey is doing more of a Chris Angel kind of role and Buscemi is probably more the old-time tuxedo wearing kind of magician.

New Iron Man 3 poster. I think it's pretty interesting. A bit odd to see a superhero movie poster that shows the hero getting his poo poo wrecked.

BlackFrost posted:New Iron Man 3 poster. It's definitely eye-catching. I really like the way they draw your eye to his center (the power core) by placing it right next to the sun. I also like that his head is level to the city, so it draws attention to the city without obscuring it.

His equipment getting trashed or malfunctioning is probably the easiest way to piss him off. Also, this is like the second time it happened to him.

That poster would be much more effective for the whole "Holy poo poo!" factor they're going for if Stark's suit didn't already get utterly hosed in every movie he's in.
