Xenomrph posted:It gets more opaque, yes. Everything is canon in Dredd, which would include stuff much, much sillier than this. A second Dredd movie that takes a left turn into satirical instead of just making Dredd an unambiguous good guy certainly would be something. We already got Idiocracy, so we did get a good look at what that probably would look like, as well as how much box office it would make.

the escape goat posted:yes, but we need as many Karl Urban Dredd films as possible. That line of thinking leads down the dark path towards the 2000AD cinematic universe. And making a second, "satirical" Dredd when the first one was already one step removed from Starship Troopers level of satire seems pretty ridiculous.

Kulkasha posted:Iirc that was one of the original drafts of Alien 3, an invasion of Earth starring Hicks. I always wondered why they didn't go this route for Alien3. Alien on earth; it's what very one wanted. More tension, higher stakes. Bigger budget, but it seems like something that would make a lot of money, considering its precessor. The early previews for irl even Alien3 misleadingly hinted that would be the premise ("on earth, everyone can hear you scream"). I'm not saying it would have been good, necessarily. I like Alien3 for what it is, but I still don't really understand why they took such a hard turn and made the prison planet suicide Thanatos depressive nihilistic downer movie instead of something... More commercially viable?

So I've tried two different versions of Alien vs Predator 2 on two different TVs and in both versions you cannot see a single loving thing that's going on in the darker scenes. No exaggeration, you can't even tell which one is the predator and which one is the alien, it's that dark. The gently caress is going on.

david_a posted:2000AD isn't popular enough for any studio to even think about this. I think Dredd eventually made a profit if you factor in home video, but that was also a fairly cheap movie. ABC Warriors would cost a fortune. None of my US coworkers know anything about 2000AD (other than the Stallone movie) despite owning piles of Marvel/DC stuff; I only know about it from growing up in Sweden. Strontium Dog and Rogue Trooper would be cheap, though, and Dredd literally only failed because the studio went out of their way to gently caress it (that movie got no marketing beyond word-of-mouth and a few TV spots, and got a surprisingly limited release).

No exaggeration, you can't even tell which one is the predator and which one is the alien, it's that dark. So the film was shot to have a really bright and glossy look with vivid colors. Somewhere between the theatrical run and home video release the producers decided they wanted to pitch the film as more dark and serious, like the rest of the franchise. So to do that they had a second grade done, but they did it really cheaply by just desaturating and raising the black level by a flat percentage across the film. If you can somehow find the leaked dvd screeners, they have better image quality than the official bluray.

Nah, Wick would somehow end up working for the Predators, eventually becoming such a respected hunter that in the next sequel they pop up to save his rear end at an opportune moment.

(Also, the short story Shok! - which was set in Dredd's universe - being ripped off for the movie Hardware, resulting in a lawsuit and later acknowledgement of its origins, sort of adds that film too.)

I watched what I assume to the be the theatrical cut of AV()PR, and dang what a mess. It seems nearly half the poo poo the Predator and the towns folk do had been cut out and the leftovers rearranged very sloppily to make it seem the Predator was hunting the core human characters.... So we're left with a nearly incomprehensible narrative following the predalien, it's bizarre. And just funny the way advertising works, the good version of the film, with it's working narrative following the Predator, and no more gore than the theatrical, is "unrated" and not "uncut".

Looks like another project that Ridley Scott's involved in starts on Saturday, an 8-part TV series called Taboo featuring Tom Hardy. Definitely looks interesting and makes me hopeful that one of Scott's future Alien movies actually manages to get Hardy as part of the cast since he'd likely have a good dynamic with whatever droid Fassbender was playing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmg8RDntkLc

Every time someone makes me watch Prometheus, I keep thinking of Shaw's fiancee (or whatever) as a knock-off version of Tom Hardy.

Kinda Alien-related post here, but I was thinking about how those spore sack things in the Alien: Covenant trailer were a little boring and unimaginative and it turns out that we have some much more interesting and alien-like plants on Earth, such as this weird monstrosity below which hatches and unfurls pink tentacles that are covered in black goo. It's called Clathrus Archeri and as well as looking like a real life version of a xeno egg that gives birth to freaky pink tentacles that are covered in sticky black spores, apparently it smells like rotting flesh as well.
