The whole cast of the film is very weak to be honest, only one medium-profile actor (Nicholas Hault), the rest are a bunch of nobodies and the usual actors he casts in this movies (Wife and Brother, what a nepotist SOAB).
Probably to save money but I think the BO draw of the film depends too much on the Hero starring the show.
So Toho wants to continue to milk the movie with minor releases here and there? that's why the VOD release seems so long?
Not that I'm complaining, it deserves every dollar.
Instead of ego-lifting his own DC universe, James Gunn should be working in a Batman-Joker movie with Robert Pattinson and Joaquin Phoenix.
That would break the Avengers record, trust me.
I´m going to add Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross to the Oscar buzz, the songs are perfect.
Easily their best work since The Social Network.
It might be the album of the year.
They are not going to comeback anytime soon, if anything they seem to be doubling down on hiring activists and people with little to no experience with the franchises they bought to handle the projects, so it's crystal clear they will continue to alienate more and more fans.
I don´t see any studio capable of filling these shoes either, WB is close but they are very weak in the CBM genre (Although it consumed itself with too many movies in the pandemic).
Universal is also strong but they seem to rely more on luck than anything else.
The CGI has been looking mediocre (absolute trash in some scenes) so I kinda believe that budget.
Impressive how only Marvel has managed to do 200m+ movies that look way cheaper than recent tentpoles with way less budget.
Yeah no way this is releasing this year, even if the werewolf is all practical effects like some people say, 4 months of post-production is too little time to finish the film.
The all female reboot killed the IP (it was already dead), the Paul Rudd film was ok but it didn't deserve a sequel.
I think this franchise is too goofy for adults and too old-school for the new generations. The oldsters don't care abut this either.
The best they can do is move the IP to the small screen and change the tone to something similar to stranger things.
His next film should be the Warhammer project. But I doubt he will want to continue to adapt franchises. Most likely he will begin to make his dream films, like Nolan has been since he left the Batman trilogy.
