HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:They pushed the film back a year in the middle of a huge advertising push, which seems unfathomable. Didn't they do the same thing with that GI Joe sequel a couple years ago? HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:I remember it was retooled to add more The Rock but I don't remember the push being particularly big. I mean this thing was like a month out and someone just happened to notice it looked like poo poo. It was at least 6 months or so I think. Like it was at the point where they had commercials with a release date, and then the commercials stopped coming on because it wasn't coming out on that date anymore. edit: thanks Wikipedia! Wikipedia posted:Originally slated for release in June 2012, the film was delayed in order to convert the movie to 3D and boost interest in international markets. It was released in North America on March 28, 2013, and received generally negative reviews,[11] but was a box office success, grossing over $375 million worldwide. raditts fucked around with this message at 23:15 on Sep 15, 2014 |

I Know What You Did Last Summer is getting a remake. What's really shocking here is it remaining a film instead of getting turned into a tv series like every other horror franchise at the moment. http://deadline.com/2014/09/i-know-what-you-did-last-summer-remake-horror-movie-sony-834570/

I think The Seventh Son is the victim of Legendary ending its partnership with WB. It was originally a WB release but then Legendary got the rights to it after the split.

I want to meet whoever managed to sell a remake of a movie that only even existed originally to ride the teen-slasher wave from another, better movie in the '90s, because that person could probably sell fire in hell.

GI Joe was kind of funny for just how obvious the inserted scene was. It was Channing and the Rock just sitting around a house set playing games and had no costumes or any other characters from the rest of the movie.

Wasn't Cloud Atlas pretty much independently funded and just distributed by a big studio?

Well apparently the drink Surge is coming back so between that and this it looks like the 90s is just gonna vomit everywhere and make us pay for it and pay attention to it again. And that means movie remakes and I could see some horror movies getting remade. Which could be good or bad. I'd like to see something like a Wishmaster remake or an updated remake of Candyman. God knows we could still do with a movie where the bad guy is a victim of prejudice and warped by it in this day and age.

marktheando posted:It is weird to me that the Wachowskis of all people can get a big expensive movie not based on a pre-existing IP greenlit when so many other directors can't. Having your former agent be head of production at a major studio usually tends to help. Of course now Robinov is gone, so it explains why WB wants them to go back to the Matrix well again. That, and maybe their Netflix series is a "hit" (in whatever vague terms a Netflix series can be one)?
