LazyBoy Posted March 6, 2008 Posted March 6, 2008 All the Watchmen characters look horrid. There's no way they're going to capture anywhere near the spirit of the book. Alan Moore will once again be pissed off with Hollywood. Same. I'm a little scared now, I so badly want this to be good.
Mundi Posted March 6, 2008 Posted March 6, 2008 When has Alan Moore ever been happy with an adaption of one of his comics? If i remember correctly he dosen´t even want any of his comics to be turned into a movie. So regardless of how the movie will be like.... he will be pissed
ReZourceman Posted March 7, 2008 Posted March 7, 2008 I don't think I understand the hate on those Watchmen pics?
killthenet Posted March 7, 2008 Posted March 7, 2008 Maybe Rorschach. He seems to be ok. Good choice of actor too. But yeah, Alan Moore will, and rightfully so. I thought he looked alright at first glance, but on closer inspection it looks pretty bad. Hopefully the film will emplore people to check out the graphic novel and see how good Watchmen really can be. I'm just pissed off Aronosfky didn't get to do it, at least then we'd have a decent film on our hands. Have you guys heard about the turmoil with Spike Jonze's adaptation of "Where The Wild Things Are"? It's been pushed back until October 2009 (a full year) and it looks like its going to be re-shot by the studio. This is terrible news, Jonze's version looked like it was going to be fantastic and it currently looks like we won't get to see his complete vision. There is a petition here to save Jonze's vision. Please sign it, you don't have to donate.
Solo Posted March 7, 2008 Posted March 7, 2008 I don't think I understand the hate on those Watchmen pics? Neither do I, my tutor at university is a friend of Dave Gibbons and he told me he was impressed/excited with the look. And since Alan Moore is the writer, how can having a dislike in the characters' appearances make you think the film will be crap and upset Moore?
killthenet Posted March 7, 2008 Posted March 7, 2008 I don't understand what you mean exactly, Alan Moore didn't write the screenplay and doesn't want anything to do with the film. The look of the characters in the film, although kind of similar to their look in the book, look very cheap and amateurish. The pictures don't really convey anything of the tone of the book and so i'm assuming that the entire film will be much of the same, and therefore not to Moore's liking.
Oxigen_Waste Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 Fuck... I'm officially worried: Stephen Chow is a comic. He has absolutely NO training whatsoever in martial arts. Great.
welsh_gamer Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 Indiana Jones 4, final poster. Just 'wow'. The Mummy 3 poster. Ugh, Mortal Kombat?!?
Bren Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 The Mummy 3 poster. Ugh, Mortal Kombat?!? lol i thought exactly the same wen i saw it.
Guest Jordan Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 1, Does the Mummy have the same cast? 2, That guy looks nothing like Max Payne... and unless it has that awesome noir feel i'll be really pissed off. vs
Cube Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 1, Does the Mummy have the same cast? Not entirely. Brendan Fraser (Rick) and John Hannah (Jonathan) are still in it, but Rachel Weisz (Evelyn) is getting a new actress - Maria Bello.
Guest Jordan Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 Wah? Why?! She was actually pretty good in the first film. Shame the second sucked ass ¬_¬ Okay, she looks nothing like her. What the hell.
BeerMonkey Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 Rachel Weisz is hot shame she isnt in the third looking forward to the new indy jones film
ReZourceman Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 lol i thought exactly the same wen i saw it. MMMMOOORRRRRTTTAAALLLLL KOOOMMMBBAAATTTT!!!!!!!!!! Dvvvv Dvvv Dvvvv Dvv Dvv Dvvvvvv
LazyBoy Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 Even though the first two were awful movies, I would fucking love a third mortal combat.
Hellfire Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 It's a shame they didn't use the original Max Payne, but Marky Mark is an awesome actor too.
ReZourceman Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 Even though the first two were awful movies, I would fucking love a third mortal combat. Next person to bad mouth the MK films gets a big filthy man slap.
Oxigen_Waste Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 Yeah, Mark Whalberg actually fits quite well with Payne. =)
killthenet Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 Is it just me or does it seem extremely pointless to be making a Max Payne film?
Solo Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 Yeah I thought the same, I mean it's like making a film adaptation of MGS. I read about 20th Century Cox wanting a PG-13 certificate, pretty much stripping Max Payne of it's adult themes. Plus, I like Marky too but, there's nothing wrong with using the model actor from the game eh. Also some chick from That 70's Show (and voice of Meg Griffin from Family Guy) is playing Mona Sax

Ashley Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 Fuck nerd rage, Mila Kunis is hot. Shame shes with Macauley Caulkin (spelling...?)
Konfucius Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 Mila Kunis can't be hot, she is voicing Meg, it's not possible! This certainly defies a physical law :P In other news: Jet Li is in the third mummy film. Read it in some paper lately.
