Brónach 1,302 Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 I see very little to get excited about. It looks like District 9, The Sequel: This time the whole world is a slum. Another "let's steal the secret formula" film from Blomkamp.Spiritual sequel. I wonder if after Chappie which is supposed to be more of a comedy Blomkamp will do a third one and make a sort of action slum science-fiction trilogy I'm digging it. Easily the most interesting trailer for a 2013 film so far, and it avoids showing much. Plus Sharlto Copley, free fall action and a Standford Torus! And transhumans!

Once 605 Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 No, it's written by the guys who wrote Ed Wood. It has no connection to Big Fish, it's based on the real story of Walter and Margaret Keane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KK 3,307 Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Coming from someone who was never a fan of the first film, I like what I'm seeing here. And with Philip Seymour Hoffman involved, I might just really enjoy this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,456 Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Awesome. You know what's odd, though I love and have seen all of Hayao Miyazaki's movies, I have yet to watch a single Studio Ghibli production he didn't direct. Which ones are the most recommended?

Once 605 Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Well, most importantly, don't expect them to be on Miyazaki's level!I think I'd recommend Grave of the Fireflies and Whisper of the Heart. Good films! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect it to be terrible, but I thought Lee did a decent job with Inside Man so I'm keep my hopes up. It won't touch the original, but hopefully they'll at least do something interesting with the hallway fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt C 456 Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 How was their version of The Borrowers?Definitely worth checking out... and it feels like a Miyazaki film for the most part.

I hope it's good!It was due to start shooting as early as summer 2010. Then it was pushed to January 2011. Then April or May. Somehow they made it and now finally they're going to release it. I've been waiting since the very first news about this!It should be good. Clooney has said positive things about it. And the 17-minute opening shot is intriguing!And yes, watch The Borrowers, it's great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,251 Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 I still have reservations because of Sandra Bullock, but Cuaron and Clooney should probably make it worthwhile.Inside Man is the only Spike Lee film I like, and I thought it was great, but then again it's more or less a remake of Dog Day Afternoon. His overt racism and hypocrisy is cringe inducing. I can't imagine him bringing anything worthwhile to what the original film accomplished.

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I hate her. Only tolerable in Speed. Think it stems from me having to watch Hope Floats on repeat in my early childhood on a plane flight to AND from CA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A24 4,362 Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I like Inside Man but it feels more ordinary Tony Scott than Spike Lee. Was he a hired gun? Where was Lee's voice? His flavor? His joint? I feel it's going to be the same for the remake of Oldboy. Hollywood is cleaning out all its auteurs. I guess we do what we need to do to survive. Has anyone seen Stoker (Park Chan wook) yet?

Quintus 5,399 Posted April 18, 2013 Author Share Posted April 18, 2013 Is that set on earth? I've not been following it. And no, Star Trek isn't what I mean. It's almost always set in space, it's a niché audience and it's not light entertainment. It's interesting though that one of the best ones is set on earth.

Hurmm 91 Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Has anyone seen Stoker (Park Chan wook) yet? AlexI've seen it. It's quite a wonderfully paced, shot, and framed film, with simmering horror of an atmosphere. I wouldn't call it watered down Park Chan Wook any more than I would call Jackie Brown watered down Tarantino, because it's not. It is restrained to great effect. That said I don't think it's good enough to be called great- the character motivations are muddy as the film progresses and in the end we are left with no characters whatsoever to root for. But it's far less far-fetched than Oldboy's ending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
