I've only seen City of Angels since it really felt like a true sequel plus it has one hell of a loving soundtrack. Haven't seen the others but they are more than likely pure poo poo. (I have seen #1, who hasn't? It's a part of most of our teenage angst years)

Someone referenced it in the Worst Movies You Have Ever Seen Thread as the worst 90's anti-drug PSA they'd ever seen and I almost poo poo my pants. Great film, but it's a goddamn shame that Alex Proyas made 2 utterly awesome movies then churned out crap fests like I, Robot & Knowing.

I wouldn't be surprised if that's really his body, minus the obvious photoshop touchups. I've worked on one of his films and he's an exercise nut. He has a huge gym trailer on-set at all times and works out whenever he's not actively shooting or rehearsing.

This poster's been out for quite a while. And so has the movie poster (haha sorry, Barons).

Seriously, the film's about Uday Hussein's body double during the Hussein family's time in power, so it fits the motif with the golden AKs and all.

Yeah, he got booted off The Hobbit, then developed ATMOM at Universal. Universal loved his proof of concept, but needed him to commit to a PG-13 cut in order to provide his requested budget. The project fell apart on that point. After having spent so many years on two projects that evaporated he just wanted to shoot something, and jumped Pacific Rim with WB. I think they'd been developing it together, sort of on the back burner while Guillermo pursued The Hobbit/ATMOM, for several years.

I really wanted to see Del Toro's take on The Hobbit and was really bummed when the story broke that he was leaving. The stories I've been hearing about the production under Jackson have not been favourable at all. Multiple splinter units with no communication or direction, a number of experienced industry vets have said it's one of the worst on-set experiences they've ever had because of the chaos, and the 48fps footage has all the depth of a Mexican soap opera after a PAL to NTSC standards conversion.

Dude what the hell are you talking about? You should post this on the Hobbit thread and see how quickly it gets shot down.

Starting with the 48 FPS which you have the option of seeing or not seeing. And depth isn't the issue, it is how your eye jumps when you scan in real life as opposed to how the 48 FPS doesn't that gives it the soap opera effect. The Hobbit is going to be awesome.

I hope so, I love the source material and I think Jackson's great (even if I would rather see Del Toro's take on it). And I know that on-set strife doesn't necessarily always show up in the finished product, but I've heard a couple first-hand accounts of the chaos. I should probably stay out of the Hobbit thread haha.

But as far as people complaining about a chaotic set, I'd probably complain too if I had to haul a bunch of production poo poo up a mountain every day. I don't think that is going to ruin the film or anything.

No on-set labour is going to make an issue about humping gear or working in a lovely location. Well everyone complains, but it's an expected part of the job. I'm talking about half a dozen shooting units with different directors and no clear direction, actors and crew being shuffled around between units with little organization or planning, and 40 minute long rolling resets* driving the actors crazy (this is rumoured to be why Rob Kazinsky dropped out).

But yes, the proof will be in the pudding and I'll hold off on burning the film at the stake until I actually see it in the theatres. It may very well turn out to be a masterpiece.

*Back in the days of shooting on film a normal camera roll was around 400 feet, so you could only shoot for 4-ish minutes before having to change mags. This gave the actors and crew time to reset, go over their lines, reapplyt etc. WIth the advent of digital recording to large format hard drives, you can shoot 4k 3D for almost an hour without turning the camera off. It can be very tempting for directors to be lazy and just leave the cameras running and go again and again and again, but it really fucks with your cast. Many actors lose their places, their performances get muddled, and they get burned out very quickly.

What?

35mm is available in 1000' rolls, which run ~11 minutes. You can get plenty of takes out of 11 min. The next mag is always ready to go before the previous one has run out and changing mags shouldn't take more than a minute with a gate check if your ACs are at all competent. There are similar very brief delays associated with shooting digital (Running an Epic for hours without stopping? Maybe in theory...) and you'll have longer delays from re-setting the actual, you know, set.

400' rolls of 35mm are also available, but 1000' is the standard. If you're on a student film and the camera crew doesn't know what the gently caress they're doing then maybe changing mags would take more than a minute? But otherwise what are you even talking about?

You're right, I'm mixing up the rolls. Had it in my mind that the 1000 foot reels were for movie projectors, but that's 2000 feet. Regardless, the costs involved in shooting & processing film made lengthy rolling resets fairly rare. Producers would poo poo down your neck for burning film.

I'm not saying everyone goes for coffee when the mags are being changed, I'm talking about the brief breather the cast & crew needs between takes to reset, reapply makeup, adjust lighting, get back into a different emotional state, etc.

As for running an Epic for almost an hour without stopping, I've seen it happen more than once. I've also seen the problems & rage that 8-10 hours of multicam dailies a day causes editorial on both low budget MOWs & high budget features.

Anyhoo, sorry for the derail.

Naw, the best part about the early REDs was when they recorded with the same camera roll number or forgot to increment at the beginning of the day and hosed post with identical file names for multiple masters.

:negative:

Thankfully, that poo poo's been fixed with the newer firmware and there should always be unique filenames.

Now, to make up for my negative comment about I Come In Peace, a movie co-starring Brian Benben that only exists because of the "and you go in pieces" punchline, how about a poster for a good Dolph Lungren movie?

I know nothing about this movie, but is it possible he's Russian and they're going for a Russian spelling of detective? I also know nothing about the Russian spelling of detective so I might be wrong.

That's what I thought at first too, but his character's raised in Japan and there's really no connection to Russia at all in the first film. Haven't seen the sequel.

vvv I guess that explains why I've never heard of it until now.

Now you mention it, besides for him being on a promo video for Haye vs. Chisora, I haven't seen Dyer on TV for ages. Last time I remember any of his films being in the cinema was Doghouse, co-starring Noel Clarke, so maybe that was where he passed the torch.

He burned his own bridges. He was supposed to have Jason Bateman's role in Juno but pulled out literally days before shooting. Unfortunately for him he had already signed a contract, so the production ended up suing him. Not sure what the final result was, though.

I was told he has booze issues, which would explain the weight gain.

Yeah, Hollywood is terrible at stuff like this. I once asked my Egyptian boss at the time if he had seen True Lies when it premiered on cable a few nights earlier (this was a while ago). He rolled his eyes and went on a rant about how all the arab actors were obviously from different countries, some of them were mexican, and they were speaking mostly gibberish and not even farsi or tajik or whatever.

He then postfaced that with "Of course, all these movies are made by the jews, anyways". :happyelf:

I believe the first draft of Big Trouble In Little China was written by W.D. Richter (Banzai's director), but he had it set in the old west and Jack Burton was looking for his stolen horse. Both the script and tone of the film were changed when John Carpenter was hired to direct.

Don't bother listening to the Buckaroo Banzai commentary, I found it fairly painful. They pretend Buckaroo Banzai & the institute actually exist and that they actually made a docudrama about real life events.
