So if I'm reading the trailer correctly: Alfred Hitchcock's Birds, except cellphones. We need to make a six million dollar man to fight the cell phones. This man appears to be roughly 60 years old.

If you can't afford Armie Hammer, you have to settle for Coastguard Screwdriver.

Pretty sure this needs a US release because holy loving christ I need to see this with some friends and booze. NorgLyle posted:I want this more literally more than anything else film-related now, thank you for getting my hopes up to be crushed when they cast Armie Hammer. Period piece, set in the 60s at the height of the Civil Rights movement. Immense powers and abilities, overwhelming responsibility to help others, feared because of the color of his skin, what he represents as an empowered black man yet powerless against the forces of cultural prejudice. You can even have it where Clark, though skilled, is relegated to menial poo poo because they can't have a black man write for the Planet -- or maybe it's the opposite and Perry has a woman and a black man on staff because gently caress what they say they can write and they're good reporters. Man, you can even go the way of making Luthor a Carpetbagger setting up shop in Metropolis to bring "good ol' AMERICAN Country values" back to the city. Make him an insanely connected political figure. It'll never in a million years happen, but gently caress if it isn't something I want to watch.

I like that his first ever on-screen acting role was as the guy who calls George-Michael "Star Dork" in the Arrested Development episode about the class election. I also thought he was great in Sorry to Bother You.

I know he's good, that's why I used him in my dumb example of the 'solid, safe, trad. Hollywood' move that the imaginary WB I was complaining about would make instead of Michael B. Jordan.

Eager for the deluge of "We're really pushing the boundaries of what you can do in a PG-13 movie" and "Really, we just had to cut a second, sometimes even just a frame, here and there...It still has the sensibility of an R-rated film" quotes during the press barrage

Teenagers see movies if they want to see movies. There's never a 15 year old standing sad outside of a theater thinking "Bummer, I'd see Deadpool if only I were a few years older! Oh well gonna go see Zootopia instead."

Remember Punisher War Zone? Remember pre-MCU when comic book characters could sometimes appear in movies that were faithful to the source material without worrying about being tied to a larger shared universe? Those were the days. Of course, those were also the days of poo poo like Daredevil (2003), so it wasn't all perfect.

They dubbed Venom from saying "gently caress Batman" to "Fudge Batman" to get an extra $15 million plus having Venom in Avengers 6: City Under Siege

Is there any better case than Hardy's of an actor whose intended big break into Hollywood was enough of a damp squib that it should have killed his career (in his case, Star Trek: Nemesis) but then they managed to come back a few years later and end up being one of the biggest stars around? Maybe Jessica Lange in King Kong? (Except I think that movie at least made money.)

Most of the poo poo things about PG-13 action are caused by actively shooting for that rating.

I'd hesitate to call her a big star, but this sort of happened with Andie MacDowell. She was considered so bad in her first movie that she ended up being completely dubbed by Glenn Close and a few years later got a lot of attention for Sex, Lies, and Videotape.

Wow, that's something. I've never seen Greystoke so I hadn't heard of that. Hmm. Speaking of Andie MacDowell, Green Card is probably going to a bit more uncomfortable to watch in future if those Gerard Depardieu allegations turn out to be true, isn't it?
