It is kinda of weird to me that you are using this Australian film as an indictment of Hollywood. When I hear "Hollywood" I think of the American film industry. If this film end up being released in the U.S., I would appreciate it if everyone just pretended I never made this comment...

How do these things get made? Quality films like del Toro's At the Mountains of Madness may never see the light of day, but we get this... Hey Hollywood, I think I know why you don't make the kind of money you would like to make, and it has nothing to do with bit torrents or Red Box/Netflix renting movies and killing sales...

>> ^probie:
I shudder to think this is Hollywood's answer to all the people like me complaining about remakes. I want original movies.....but not this.

Seriously? You seriously don't know?

Because films like this are stupidly cheap to make, have virtually no marketing budget, and therefore recoup their cost via just rentals and people buying the DVDs in bargain bins. It's all a game of numbers, if you can do it for only $XX and it'll make $XXX dollars, you may proceed.

Things like the Mountains of Madness are big budget films, they are films that need to gross $500 million to make money (Yup, $500M on a budget of $150M, crazy the amount they spend on marketing and other crap, surely there's a better way!). Those types of film need to reach a BIG market to make their money back. Little crappy films like this need to only reach a tiny, tiny market to make their money back. And the 'it's so ridiculous it's entertaining' market is large enough to support a lot of these crapfests.

So damn sad... so damn sad

I love Scott Pilgrim, I love Del Toro (Although, I'm obviously one of the few who couldn't get through Pan's Labyrinth after the girl so insanely stupidly, for no good reason, took food from that creature in the wall. After she was told SO explicitly not to. It's not like she was even particularly hungry... but I digress).

I would love more of those films, and it saddens me that the expendables raked in the dough. It was just pedestrian, and cyan and orange up the wazzoo, and trying desperately to show all women as damsels that need saving, and just so... bleuh.

Del Toro using physical effects as much as possible absolutely thrills me, I love the creature effects in Hellboy 2. That huge guy that I could have sworn was just really good CGI, was all 'real', in that it was a guy in a suit and it looked fricken amazing. And he does use CGI, but how it should be used, to adjunct reality.

I'm sure he'll get his project up, and it'll be awesome

>> ^BoneRemake:

What gives you more pleasure, Final Fantasy or Robot Chicken ? @kceaton1


If I could have both at the same time like this, it would be completely obvious.

Otherwise, it's Robot Chicken. Now if we could create a videogame-Robot Chicken-Spielberg/Lucas/Nolan/James Cameron/Ridley/Peter Jackson/Guillermo del Toro /Joss Whedon (to keep the others on the up & up) and then Hans Zimmer/Williams (I know)/Jerry Goldsmith/Trent Reznor/Cliff Martinez/ & Dennis McCarthy for sound. Lot's of the people involved would innately clean up mistakes (like Lucas at some point; for example).

It would be the best thing ever...

Did you want a short answer?

The Del Toro version is obviously the one that was closest to how it really went down...

>> ^dag:
At first I had hope- because it's being directed by the guy who did District 9. But then I forgot the rule that all videogame to movie conversions must be pure shit.
>> ^Throbbin:
You sound like a man that has lost all hope.>> ^dag:
I think I'd rather see this movie- than the utter and abject failure that will be the actual one.




I still hold out hope.

As for Neil Blonkamp, district 9 was an excellent movie but I don't think his style was right for Halo. Give me Guillermo Del Toro or, better yet, make the whole thing mo-cap.

if you want good vamp fiction read Del Toro's new book Strain, it's what TweenLight wishes it were

jeeeeez. Now I get - it was me who didn't get YOU were being sarcastic with the 'Gollum' bit. I genuinely thought you meant that it was Serkis @ 2:01.


ROFLWTFLMFAOCOPTER, etc.

you should change your name to eddoofus or something. doofus.

>> ^EDD:
^Oh, all right. Still, Serkis' IMDb profile doesn't have this film listed.


edd, i can't tell whether you're being sarcastic or not. it's a tough one to call.
