Hellboy 2 was great

[Mojoguy]

FUCK! You guys just made me what to rewatch Hellboy 2 again.

I guess I'll have to dig up the dvd again in the stacks of dvds. I have too many movies.

WB / DC actually has about as much artistic integrity as Marvel, really, as much as they claim otherwise.

There really isn't enough evidence to tell either way. Until we start seeing the non-Snyder films it's all conjecture.

Yes, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's not much different. WB is a major film studio, they're not in the habit of making every single directors visions come to life, at least not right now.

I think I'm gonna go see Bridge of Spies today.

[Ozymandias]

Please don't tell me we've gotten to the point where The freaking Martian has a "slow burn pace". 

 

Welcome to the ADD generation.

I liked Hellboy II a lot. Unfortunate release timing, that one.

WB's historically been pretty favorable to director vision. Especially compared to Disney.

[CJohn]

DC's movies will have as much director's vision as Marvel's movies have right now.

Now watch, Witch Hunter will bomb in the US but do gangbusters in Portugal. 

And Russia. No matter how bad and cheesy a fantasy film..or anthing with swords is, it does well in Russia. It's the only country where "Seventh Son" did decent business.

Yes, but with their recent flops, I could see them becoming less lenient.

I don't see why you would get a guy like David Ayers if you're not gonna let him make his movie.

Maybe that's just me blindly hoping they do, I don't know.

I'm gonna give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you haven't see Fury

CP is doing exactly the numbers it was projected to do. It only cost 55 Million....a low budget by today's standards...and Del Toro has enough of a following world wide so that Legendary (the film was totally finainced by Legendary;Universal is releasing it but declined to fund it) will get it's money back and likely make a modest profit.

Fact is Del Toro is a niche filmmaker who punched above his weight with "Pan's Laybrinth". He had his chance at a huge budget blockbuster with Pacific Rim and it did not work out at the box office. He can get his lower budget projects funded, but studios shy away from his big budget projects. And Del Toro is unrealistic in some of his demands. as with "At The Mountains Of Madness". No studio is going to fund a 200 Million dollar R rated horror movie. Even Lengendary, which has close relationship with Del Toro, is  declining that gamble.

And, btw, althought the Hellboy movies were fun, they are in the same universe as "Pan's Labyrinth", easily Del Toro's best work.

[CoolioD1]

tbf suicide squad looks VERY david ayers.

[Avatree]

Can we please stop throwing around the word "Ayers", his name is "Ayer". thx.

[dudalb]

Del Toro has no future in Hollywood. He is fucked.

Nonsense. He can get  his modestly budgeted films made..they are a reasonable gamble.....it's his big budget films he has problems getting greenlighted.

And I see this forum continues to be world class when it comes to "Topic Drift".
