Thundercracker posted:Does it really look weird? The trailer made it look like a by the numbers chosen one story and pretty trite at that. Never read the book so I wouldn't know how true the movie is to it. I don't really know how it's going to work in the movie, but in the books it's definitely not a chosen-one style thing, at least at first, and the stakes are relatively personal to the protagonists. I can see why it's marketed as such, because the themes of the book (book spoilers) definitely play against the chosen one convention, as that the main character's little brother is a chosen one style character, but well, let's just say it's a few books until he gets there. Consequently him growing up and getting competent is about when the books get weird and bad and I stopped with them.

Frozen 2 comes out in less than two years, and this really seems like the kind of decision that would have been made further in advance than that.

Do we still post trailers in this thread, because I saw this today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3adHok6ytJI I remember someone asking, "How are they going to make another Black Dynamite when they made all the jokes in the first film?" And I'm impressed by the answer!

This looks great. They really captured the look of 70s westerns. Were these actors hired by a time-traveling agency?

Cacator posted:Holy cow, a 3:42 long trailer? Do I even need to watch the movie now? It’s not really a trailer, it’s a proof of concept made for the funding campaign to show what the film would look like. There’s clearly a lot of stock footage and shots taken from other films.

There’s clearly a lot of stock footage and shots taken from other films. Let's not fool ourselves, that stock footage is going to be in the finished product, not just because it happened in Black Dynamite (looking at you, exploding helicopter taken from Charlie's Angels), but also a staple of the films he's parodying.

The trailer being in the 2:50 to 3:50 area is the most 70s thing about it.

Pirate Jet posted:The crowdfunding campaign is live, though it appears to be doing awfully. They have a full month left. A lot of crowdfunding campaigns make it to like 60% with only a few days left and then explode past 100% in the final stretch so there is still hope. I haven't backed many campaigns but all the ones I have seemed hopeless with only a day or two to go but then magically a massive influx of money showed up to get them past the goal.

Hell, I threw $40 at it for the Blu-ray. I think I got Black Dynamite for like $5, so it’ll average out well.

Yeah, bummer it's not doing great. But I don't think a single one of the many movie news sites I frequent mentioned the crowdfunding campaign. Gonna throw in for the Blu, too.

I tweeted the Indiegogo page to the millionaire who starred in Badang, hoping he will be enticed by the prospect of appearing in a ‘Hollywood’ movie. Malaysians would also appreciate watching him getting punched by a cowboy. Young Freud posted:The clouds parting could have been accompanied by the Hans Zimmer Horn. Would love to see Zack Snyder direct it too.

I had been looking forward to it, but Garth Davis's Mary Magdalene, starring Rooney Mara as Mary and Joaquin Phoenix as Jesus, looks like it's going to be a critical dud. 33% on Rotten Tomatoes with six reviews, all from the big industry rags. Also the last film scored by Johann Johannsson before his death.

Macdeo Lurjtux posted:It made $70M on a $17M budget. It was basically equivalent to a Blunmhouse horror film. Respectable box office combining with low budget and low expectations made it worthwhile investment. Then the sequel went and burned that bridge with a doubled budget and only $82M box office. What? Blade 2 directed by an academy award winner had 54m budget and made 155m worldwide.
