I don't get why people apparently want a movie about a collection of murderers, thugs, and insane people to be all bright colors and goofy costumes.

They actually asked Patrick Stewart to wear it. Hence the face.

Plenty of comic villains commit murder in colorful costumes. A more subdued look can work depending on the story, like in the new Daredevil show for example, but with a ensemble movie the audience has to be able to easily pick apart the characters, and colors are the easiest way to do that.

Michael Pena and Bobby Cannavalle, eh? Man it's too bad this movie is gonna suck.

I'm holding out a little hope because the director did Down With Love, which is one of my favorite movies, but yeah, probably gonna be mediocre.

Yeah, it was decent enough to watch on an airplane.

That movie's main problem was that it wasn't sure what it wanted to be, a spoof or an homage.

He also made 'Bring It On', which I contend is very much underrated. And he wanted to do Fantastic Four as a bright period piece, which works a lot more than what they're going for now.

He doesn't have one. The plot of the first movie was about him, a human, staying at Hotel Transylvania, a hotel for universal monster men. Also he banged Dracula's daughter. A surprisingly good movie.

The last Hotel Transylvania had a poster with the ginger that just said "Check it out! I'm a Franken-Homie!" on it. I still don't know what that means, or who thought it was funny.

It was by Genndy Tartakovsky, his whole deal these days is making things that are way better than they should be. See also: the 2d Clone Wars shorts, the opening to Priest.

The teaser poster was solid and it looks awesome at large size in a theater:



Marvel tends to do these awful "floating head" posters for the main release cause it's what the marketing/bean counter people tell them will sell. It's not that big a deal in the end cause better posters almost always end up coming out unless you're that weird guy who has to display his blu-rays face out.

It feels, though, like for this movie they really need to push the concept more. It's a film about a superhero whose power is being tiny, yes it's weird, they need to make that the hook rather than try to steer around it. I feel like they could do that and still have the floating heads somehow.

Have Rudd in the middle and then have the floating heads perspective'd like they're a hundred feet tall.

I would've preferred they just have a tiny Paul Rudd in there.

Instead it just looks like it got scanned through the Marvel marketing machine where they churned out the same poster they do for everything else. I think this is their hardest sell so far, but curiously, does anyone know the budget?

I remember way back when Wright was first attached the idea was meant to be that Marvel were going to let people take a crack at these characters that weren't top tier household names and do so on smaller budgets, obviously that fell completely by the wayside, but it seemed initially to be more filmmaker friendly. It's kind of like what Disney are doing now with their Star Wars spinoffs.

Ant Man looks like it'll be Iron Man: Paul Rudd edition and I get the feeling that it won't be very good. If you compare that leaked test Edgar Wright footage to the trailers you can see that that the same hallway fight is in both and the Wright version is a hell of a lot more dynamic.

Well apparently they were still using Wright's storyboards for the action scenes since the effects work would've already started on them.

I think about the leaked teaser and get depressed. Not one frame seems wasted and in the actual trailer it just seems like they butchered whatever joke was there.

They're doing that with their Netflix series now; Daredevil was the more grounded and well-known introduction but Jessica Jones, Iron Fist, and Luke Cage are all getting their own series plus at least one crossover in the future.
