Peyton Reed is probably more notable for Bring It On, the first film of the MCU of the cheerleader film genre.

prefect posted:The war-crime Highlander movie came out in 1991: "Highlander II: The Quickening". I was just talking about Highlander the other day with a friend. That first movie is loving weird and charmingly low budget and it's kind of a miracle that it works AND made money AND spawned a franchise. Even though everyone fell in love with the weird lore, that's like the least important aspect of that film. You have no idea what the gently caress is going on for like 40 minutes of the film, it's just dingy shots of the city and people cutting each other's heads off. Yet loving up that lore in the sequel made people mighty pissed, despite it having equally creative visuals.

The cast was a big part; Clancy Brown being amazing and one of my all time favorite vilains in it, Swashbuckling Connery being a lot of fun, and Lambert being his charmingly weird self all add a lot of enjoyment

The craziest part of Highlander is they made a franchise out of a movie that explicitly says there are no more immortal people at the end.

I maintain that people just like making the joke, "There should've been only one." Michael Ironside is always awesome though, so any movie with him gets a pass on some level.

The MSJ posted:Peyton Reed is probably more notable for Bring It On, the first film of the MCU of the cheerleader film genre. He also made Down With Love, a rom-com set in a swanky, kitschy, Technicolor version of the early '60s, starring Ewan McGregor and Renee Zellweger. Back then, it made me wish he could adapt Fantastic Four in the same style -- all '60s space-age optimism, with the FF smiling and waving in ticker-tape parades and being bigger than the Beatles, starring McGregor and Zellweger as Reed and Sue. Never did I think he'd actually go on to direct a Marvel movie!

The violence is like the main thing about the Highlander series! But the post-apocalypse is actually an interesting place to take a depressing series about immortals...

Wow, they're actually putting hope on FF. Maybe they should try marketing it at all. I hope they go full on ridiculous with Gambit and let it be fun

Opopanax posted:Wow, they're actually putting hope on FF. Maybe they should try marketing it at all. Based on Fantastic Four, they'll probably reimagine Gambit as a moderately successful action and comedy movie star who just always seems weirdly generic and plain. His mutant power will be changed to making his punches better (it's still kinetic energy!) and he won't realize this until he does it by accident and stares dumbfounded and amazed at the camera/his fist.

Let's face it, Gambit's true signature attributes are a brown trenchcoat, black headsock and that weird pink poo poo going on with the rest of his costume.

As far as I can tell, none of the FF members have their personalities changed for the movie. Maybe they will make Reed more of a dick, but that's just making him more faithful to the source.

Gambit has a lot of goodwill from the 90's cartoon series where he was probably the coolest male character that wasn't Wolverine. Probably cooler than him actually

I have a deep love of Gambit but that probably stems more from my child-like love of explosions (and people who have the power to generate them) rather than actually enjoying the character. That said, his recent solo series was quite good.

First Class was the same where the trailer wasn't out until February and the film came out the end of May. Ant Man is arguably the same given that it comes out a month before hand and is getting its trailer this week.

Shawn posted:Does nobody like Yes Man but me? He was also associated with Mr. Show and UCB, he's got some comedy pedigree. I'm talking about Stephen Derrickson, auteur of such celebrated classics as Sinister and Deliver Us From Evil. Not terrible, but pretty mediocre (at least for Deliver, only heard about Sinister second hand). Peyton Reed has my wary optimism because of Down WIth Love. Because it is the poo poo. He's also the director who tried to get a Fantastic Four movie set in the sixties together. EDIT: Someone please tell me that there's a universe spanning character universe full of team-ups and guest appearances based off girls cheerleading. Because that too would be the poo poo.

ImpAtom posted:Comic book fans are a small minority of superhero fans. Yeah. If you polled average people (who actually know what an X-man is), Gambit would easily make top 5, and Cyclops wouldn't even make top 10. He's pretty much Marvel's Aquaman. poo poo, the sales difference between a top selling and canceled book nowadays would be negligible at the height of X-men's comic book popularity. And Gambit was white-hot back then. Lurdiak fucked around with this message at 17:09 on Jan 6, 2015 |

Think you guys are missing the big ticket item with the Fantastic Four Sequel got moved up in its release date! A movie with no trailer or a single promotional picture that's been officially released. The trailer as mentioned isn't unique...the lack of any promotional photos on the other hand...and just all the poo poo coming out about Hobo Doom who argues about anime pillows on his tumbler.
