If they're going to do a subdued take on Dr. Smith why would they cast an excellent camp actor like Parker Posey?

I was looking forward to seeing her bring some of that Blade 3 mojo

The essay this is based on would make a neat movie, but I'm not sure this is it. To do it justice you'd need an actor who can flip between 'snivelling poo poo' and 'psycho mastermind', and while Kevin Spacey or Hugo Weaving could pull that off I'm not sure Marton Csokas has the chops.

He is, but what made the essay so good was that it kept you guessing whether the character was really a murderer, or just a colossal dipshit whose big mouth got him in over his head. I don't know if Csokas can sell the latter (particularly since he's doing that Hannibal Lecter malevolent grin all through the trailer).

That's just it, the 80s were the high point of one man army action movies. Anyone one of Arnold's squad could have starred in his own B-movie. That genre of low budget action isn't being made anymore so it's hard to round up a group of guys like that for your movie.

Ah, I just looked it up, the dude in the trailer is Colman Domingo, the guy who plays Strand on Fear The Walking Dead. In my defense, his face is only visible for a fraction of a second before a huge piece of text covers his face up, and I only got a good look at the beard so I automatically assumed it was Cutty.

Alita looks like unwatchable poo poo and the effects better hadn't be finished because right now they look worse than the intro to Witcher 3. It's going to be a pretty solid way to figure out which of your acquaintances you should drop like a hot rock, though.

The sooner you come to terms with the fact that right-wing nutcases make some of the best action movies, and that you liking or not liking them isn't going to make any difference in the real world, the happier you'll be

As for trailers that their movies don't live up to, my favorite is

Violent Night frustrated the hell out of me, because it was a good script with a good cast dragged down by mediocre-to-bad directing and a pivotal moment that devolved into one incredible clunker of an action scene.

You better not be talking about the Home Alone scene here

I liked Violent Night a whole lot, except it should have found more to do with Edi Patterson.

I think anyone expecting this to be in the same ballpark (or league, or sport) as Fury Road is going to be disappointed. FR famously gestated for decades, with Miller storyboarding every second of it in his head over and over before production even began (and stopped, and began again, and stopped, and...) Then when it did got going all that pent-up energy got unleashed with everyone involved going hell-for-leather to make it as great as it was.

I just don't see them capturing that same energy again, but honestly I'd be perfectly happy with a relatively minor (but really fun-looking) addition to the franchise

I mean Fury Road is almost ten years old now. That’s plenty of time for some new ideas to gestate. And for all we know he had loads of good ideas that couldn’t fit into FR.


MaoistBanker posted:

Furiosa was written before Fury Road back in 2002.

It's not the ideas/screenplay so much, it's the actual pre-production and production of the thing with those thousands and thousands of storyboards etc that let them really nail down all the FR action
