You overestimate the cultural cachet John Wick carries, and seem weirdly sure that film is bad.

I get a weird comedy vibe, but it sounds like it's supposed to be a horror movie? Like Gremlins with adultery or something?

That should tell you how little they were trying to pay him if he turned it down.

As for John Wick, it is still a little too soon for its effects to be fully known but the character is becoming a cultural thing seeing as the game Payday 2 had DLC with a branded John Wick skin.

He might not be pulling in megabucks, but he built that franchise. It doesn't really work without him and despite the fancy stuff they pulled in the trailer it just looks so lackluster. Statham is a solid actor and he knows enough to stick to action films or comedy stuff like the Spy where he adds something to the movie, or at least doesn't drag it down. The new main dude looks like a slightly buffed up Abercrombie model. At least Statham had some presence and could actually fight, which meant that the fight scenes were at least the price of admission.

This looks terrible, but it's Eli Roth, what else would you expect?

Reeves is at a point in his career where he can do whatever he wants. Yeah this will suck, but if making forgettable, crap movies is what it takes to finance another Man of Tai Chi or whatever, so be it.

That was a (really good) marketing tie-in with the movie, the skin was released before the movie came out. There was also a deal that if you bought Payday 2 you got a free ticket for John Wick.

...this will most likely be a flop; especially with it known that Stathom didn't return due to stingy studio bullshit (it looks terrible regardless). GoT is much more of a household name and would've been steady recognition & employment for him.

Yeah, Game of Thrones is some dumb poo poo that no one cares about compared to a reboot of a series that died with the original sequel.

We're all going to experience changes in our life but only the best of us will qualify for front row seats.

Being part of a cast of 30+ regular characters or having the lead role in a different show, hmmhm. No one is going to deny the risk of quitting a very successful series, but even if this show doesn't get renewed he is going to get more screentime in a string of episodes than he would have gotten in 3 or 4 seasons of GoT altogether. It wouldn't be spread out over several years too. He is probably going to get more auditions and casting calls from this move.

Because he's a known and liked (if controversial) director who has made a profit on everything he's directed, all of which is relatively low budget since it's horror.

I have a feeling this movie is going to be a whole lot different then the trailer but it's cut to make it feel like John Wick which pretty much everyone whose seen it likes (he even has a little puppy to be killed again)

I wonder how long the script for this movie sat around?

Goosebumps trailer:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Cn716jv61s

Very much for kids that feels very Jumanji-esque, although I'm kinda surprised how little Jack Black there was in the trailer. I'm not saying it's going to be good, but I can see it as the sort of movie some 10 year old watches and feels nostalgic for in 10-20 years.

Do kids even still read Goosebumps?

He's still writing them, so I guess so? They're "spin-off series" now though, whatever that means; the original run of books that I assume we all grew up with and associate with the Goosebumps name ended in 1997.

I don't think so, but I don't care since I read them a lot back in the day (the CYOA Goosebumps were the best) and so I'll probably love this movie mainly for the references and for Jack Black who I always felt gets a bad rep even though he's a fun actor who gives it his all.
