Anyway, Very Bad Things was not an overwhelming success at the time but I guess there's more creative upside in remaking a so-so/bad movie than a classic? Still I imagine the premise running into even more resistance in 2017, than it already did in 1998. Watching/listening to people react to the Rough Night trailer, it is a pretty interesting divide. I don't know if it is "generational" or "movie buff". I find the very simple answer to be "It's an all female hangover" when in reality it is more "Very Bad Things". I was always a huge fan of Very Bad Things growing up so when I hear people make the connection I am always pleased. Link to comment

Reminds me of the Michael Caine quote: "I never did see Jaws 4. I did see the house it bought." I think this is a generational and cultural trait for these actors. Caine, Stewart, and Connery are all actors from working class backgrounds. Caine has said that both he and Connery spent time on the dole when they started acting. It is a job to them as much as it is a passion and they all had some lean years before they got famous. As a result, they tend to be less likely to turn down paycheque roles. Not a bad strategy considering how this business is one where you can't turn too many things; you always have to be in something to keep the calls coming. 3 Link to comment

Unless you're well off coming into it (which I assume is NOT most actors), you gotta eat. No sense in pretending every part you take is for the art. Of course, I imagine it's easier to be candid once you're older and have some respect in the industry. 34 minutes ago, Jazzy24 said: Saw the new It teaser trailer. And nope! Not today Satan!!!

Crs97 March 30, 2017 Share March 30, 2017 I remember Michael J Fox, when asked why he picked a certain movie, would answer that they sent him a script and a check. It was only years later that he disclosed his diagnosis and that his doctor told him he had a finite number of years before people noticed, and he was working like crazy to make enough money before that happened. 6 Link to comment

There's nothing wrong with working for money. Sometimes you take a part because you need a paycheck and sometimes you take a part because you're interested in the story. Neither is wrong. 5 Link to comment
Joe March 30, 2017 Share March 30, 2017 Yeah, I would probably do the same in their position. In other news, the trailer for War for the Planet of the Apes. Here's something odd. It is the second ape movie this year, after King Kong, to be influenced by Apocalypse Now. It's a weird trend. But you know what I'd like to see instead of the movie we're getting? A mockumentary about the apes living their semi-humanised lives. It doesn't have to be funny, just show me something interesting. Get David Attenborough to narrate. 1 Link to comment

Still, I'm guessing that the well-established actors showing up in blockbuster/franchise/popular genre films aren't particularly interested in the story. I'm okay with that. But then, I avoid most press junket-y interviews because the questions are some variation of "So what interested you about your character?" I couldn't care less what, for example, Cate Blanchett might find interesting about Hela in Thor: Ragnorok. I feel like actors are expected to be above enjoying the money - that everything is about the craft. Truth is, I generally don't care how the actor feels about the character as long as they're convincing. If you did it to buy a Hermes bag, Maserati, home in the south of France, or because it's a passion project...doesn't make much difference to me. 4 hours ago, GHScorpiosRule said: This will come as no surprise to anyone here who "knows" me, but for me?

I assume Superman is resurrected at some point, but yeah, no promos to date with him in it. Cavill doesn't seem to have the support of the studio, I suppose because they hang all their hopes on Batman. Which is baffling.

Bruinsfan March 31, 2017 Share March 31, 2017 Seriously, one of the things that bothered me most about BvS is that one of the title characters never got to say more than two sentences in a row. Cavill can be extremely charming, and that charm SHOULD be deployed to full effect when playing Superman rather than have him silently glowering or snarling before he tries to kill someone. 6 Link to comment
ribboninthesky1 March 31, 2017 Share March 31, 2017 Wait, when did Superman try to kill someone? I've not seen the film in a while. Oddly enough, I rather enjoyed stankface Cavill (his expression conveyed what I felt often), as I found the film's version of Bruce Wayne/Batman to be pretty annoying. And with Ben Affleck's ever-present personal problems, I have my doubts of his future in the franchise. The studio might be casting another actor in a couple of years. But hey, maybe Cavill will get more than a couple of lines in Justice League! *fingers crossed* 1 Link to comment

I'd hardly fault actors for choosing to play reprehensible characters, though if the narrative of the film doesn't treat such actions as reprehensible I can see having a problem with the filmmaker. Like, I certainly don't think less of Anthony Hopkins for playing a manipulative cannibal... 5 Link to comment

aradia22 April 3, 2017 Share April 3, 2017 Ferdinand: I have nothing against the animation style of Blue Sky but for some reason... even more than Illumination... it has a kind of cheap look to me. I think it's because it reminds me of the short videos that indie and student animators put out. It's higher quality with more light and shading and depth but not a lot of texture, etc. Though I think it depends on the scene because there were some shots that did have more texture and looked really good. Also, John Cena has a surprisingly pleasant voice but it bothers me a little that there's such a sense of place to the setting but all the voice actors are so American. I feel like there's usually something stronger to sell you in animation trailers but maybe they're saving it for the movie. Paris Can Wait: That does not seem like a compelling movie at all but it looks pretty from the scenery to the food porn. I might watch it on Netflix on an especially boring night. The most interesting thing about the trailer was a shot of my favorite Cezanne painting. I guess it's interesting that it was directed by Eleanor Coppola, wife of Francis Ford Coppola. A quick imdb search tells me she hasn't directed anything like this. I wonder why this film... now... of all things. Maybe they just wanted a nice vacation. Link to comment
