Seriously though, I feel like this is all a vile bit of strategy to help Fox have a better $ummer at the multiplex in 2009. Think about it: if Watchmen gets knocked off the '09 lineup, it leaves the comic book lane wide open for Fox's own properties, most notably X-Men Origins: Wolverine . The simple truth is that Fox has reason to be scared: since the first trailer premiered , then the fan fervor at this year's Comic-Con , and now acclaimed directors like Kevin Smith spouting gospel about how freakin good Watchmen truly is , the movie has been blown-up as one the most highly anticipated releases of 2009. (Even the original graphic novel has started flying off shelv
So that made the scenes that were dark and creepy stand out that much more in contrast. I wouldn't recommend bringing the little ones to this as their are some mighty creepy looking creatures in the film, and one scene were a couple of agents are eaten alive by a bunch of little critters with lots of te
Tarantino’s been subject to some mixed reviews on his most recent projects – can this be the one to turn it around? We’re certainly hoping and looking forward to it and its interesting cast includes Brad Pitt, Mike Myers and Eli R
Jamie’s list includes several unique picks such as Ashcliffe and The Lovely Bones and is the only one that does not include Watchmen . Despite that, for some reason we continue to let him write for the sit
Well, after nearly two decades of starts and stops and almosts, Watchmen was finally tossed into the laps of Warner Bros. by producer Larry Gordon, who had obtained the rights to the film in a turnaround agreement with Fox in 1994, with the stipulation (according to Fox) that the studio's original terms of contract still be honored, including the buy-out fee. According to the Fox's lawsuit, Gordon and Warner Bros. failed to make good on that prom
Featuring an abundance of well-known voice talent and a hilarious plot, this film looks like fun for all. Along with Disney’s Up we expect a pair of solid animated films next year. I’ll also be seeing this one in
Can this prequel/reboot of a film bring Star Trek back to the mainstream and make it „cool“ once again? While Star Wars dwindles in the aftermath of the prequels and animated Clone Wars , Star Trek has the opportunity to nab the Sci-Fi thr
This was not an easy task to say the least. While there are several obvious big-name titles coming out next year, there are also 765 movies planned to debut next year in total (according to Movieweb ). Narrowing that down to just ten is not the easiest of tasks especially when certain films have shared little information with us so far (wink wink nudge nudge to James Cameron’s Avata
With Watchmen having already wrapped its principal shoot, and gearing up for its March 6, 2009 release, Fox is urging that the case to be fast-tracked, and, if this latest court action is any indication , the judge will heed that call. Even worse, Fox isn't just looking to dip into Warner Bros.' pockets for profits: they'd rather see the film banned from theaters altoget
I think it's definitely worth seeing, and I'll be very curious to hear what you think of it. I really think Watchmen is destined to be a cult movie - not very mainstream, but with a smaller and very dedicated core of fans loving it as time goes
Director Guillermo del Toro's fingerprints are all over this, right from the start of the film. We actually meet Hellboy as a, well, boy - and this gives John Hurt a chance to cameo as the adopted father of Hellboy, despite his having died in the first film. Seeing our big red buddy as a cute little child with big buck teeth was a bit weird, although he was very cute and wide-e
So what didn't work? I thought that both Malin Akerman and Carla Gugino were quite weak. Akerman's performance came across as pretty shallow to me, and Gugino's first real scene in the film as an old woman almost had me laughing out loud because it seemed so campy. I could take or leave Patrick Wilson's performance - maybe it was just the character he was playing that left me c
This is NOT really a superhero movie in the sense that we've come to know the genre. It's not X-Men or Spider-Man - it's not even The Dark Knight … it's really more of a murder mystery with a bit of Superhero Movie Games Guide|Https://Superheromoviespot.Com/ action thrown in for fla
Zack: No. The Black Freighter version of the movie, which we call the final cut or the ultimate cut – it has a marketed name that I don’t know exactly what it is. That version of the movie, because when we were up there we physically shot the in’s and out’s, scenes at the newsstand that go into the movie. There’s like scenes where our characters pass the newsstand and then we pick up action at the newsstand and it gets us into the Black Freighter….with shots that go into it and it comes to life and you follow the Black Freighter story and then come back into the movie. That version of the movie is the director’s cut with the Black Freighter intercut. That version sort of traces the structure of the Black Freighter that's integrated into the comic book… So that version is the 3 hour and 25 minute version. So you have all those in’s and out’s…but the director’s cut includes the Hollis death stuff, that’s just a lot more connective tissue…it’s hard for me to even remember exactly what’s in it. But it’s just a lot m
