They had me at Quintin Tarantino.
Isn't he in it?Maybe I'm spoiled after Inglorious Basterds and Django Unchained, but I feel like this movie would've been improved with some Christoph Waltz.
I am all over that.
Considering Django is the ancestor of Shaft and Tarantino's film (largely) take place in the same universe, it wouldn't surprise me if this turns out to be true.PLEASE tell me Sam L Jackson's character in this is the ancestor of Jules Winnfield, that would be hilarious.
I doubt anything of value was lost. If you read interviews from the early 2000s, he likes to talk a lot of projects, but actually does very few. Doesn't mean every project he thinks up is worth doing.Shame the Vega brothers can never have that flash-back scene on the big screen, C'est la vis!
Hey, c'mon now, this is a movie projector attached to a furby!The fuck? Synergy is a movie projector?
Great invention dad, they've only had those since the early 20th century.
Based on how negative initial reactions have been, the studio will either ignore promotion almost entirely, or go crazy hard. Given that it's kind of a second teir property to begin with, I think that it will be the former and not the latter.I'd say "hey, could be a good movie and just a shitty adaptation," but it looks so generic.
Also, I foresee a lot of product placement in that movie's future.
I mean in-movie; like having ads for Pepsi or whatever on the Youtube screens, or Pizza Hut in the background here and there. That sort of shtick. They'd have likely already secured that stuff. I'm wondering if they paid Google to use Youtube or if Google paid them or what.Based on how negative initial reactions have been, the studio will either ignore promotion almost entirely, or go crazy hard.

It wouldn't surprise me if it was a generic script first and they slapped on the name to sell it. They've done that with quite a few films. The I, Robot film with Will Smith, for example, started life as a script called Hardwired.I mean in-movie; like having ads for Pepsi or whatever on the Youtube screens, or Pizza Hut in the background here and there.

It baffles me how anyone thought this was a good idea, or if they had a generic script they thought they could slap across a license they had. Chicken or egg ...
See, the that sort of thing just irks me. In retrospect, after fully divorcing it from the "source material" I, Robot is actually a really good sci fi action thriller. Adding the title did nothing but alienate me to something that I would otherwise have considered a good movie. Also, just recently learned that Alan Tudyk is played the robot.It wouldn't surprise me if it was a generic script first and they slapped on the name to sell it.

I never knew that but now that you say it, its so incredibly obvious.Also, just recently learned that Alan Tudyk is played the robot.
I'd love to see a horror movie starring Alan Tudyk, Michelle Rodriguez, Felicia Day, and Sean Bean, and they all live, just to fuck with the viewer.I never knew that but now that you say it, its so incredibly obvious.
Didn't her character die in the Buffy finale? I know she was there, but I can't remember if she made it out alive.Is Felicia Day known to die in a lot of things? I haven't seen anything where she's died that I can think of other thanDr. Horrible
Shit, I wasn't caught up on that show, should not have hit that spoiler.She died inthis season of Supernatural, but that hardly counts, because everyone on that show dies.
Yeah I did the same thing. Then I posted the name of the show in a moment of derp and had to go back and delete the post.Shit, I wasn't caught up on that show, should not have hit that spoiler.
Are we going to throw in Tim Curry as the villain, and have him live as well?I'd love to see a horror movie starring Alan Tudyk, Michelle Rodriguez, Felicia Day, and Sean Bean, and they all live, just to fuck with the viewer.
If that means that you'll never catch up on the show, @Dei did you a favor.Shit, I wasn't caught up on that show, should not have hit that spoiler.
Pretty sure she survived that. Felicia Day played Vi, who was seen on the bus afterwards. Among the "named" Slayers, I think Amanda was the only death.Didn't her character die in the Buffy finale? I know she was there, but I can't remember if she made it out alive.
