Chinoiserie Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Studios are gluttons for punishment, see also: Pacific Rim 2 and Alice 2. Disney was really smart with Tron: Legacy, they made a small profit and also knew when to quit while ahead. Alice made so much money it does not matter if it decreases (but it will decrease). But the Snow Queen addition is so amusing, do they really think it will be a draw (watch for some reason everybody loving it or something). I would think there is some good fantasy book series with a fanbase you could adapt without it getting too expecive. These fairytale adaptions are so embarrasing (expecially if they no longer have anything to do with the fairytales). The Hobbit and Game of Thrones are so popular that I would think somebody would try. Then they could just name the film something generic so the GA would not get scared of fantasy book adaption.

Sam Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Blunt is playing the snow queen from Frozen, apparently Oh God why?!!! That means my Chastain will be the one who will get stuffed in the fridge. Fuck. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neo Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 How come the studio is very insistent on making this when the first wasn't a gigantic hit really? Very insistent? If they were would have been out by 2014 not 4 years later. It made enough (barely) for a sequel to be made anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UNI is taking a chance on PR2 but with an established world should be easier and China should do huge numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neo Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 That is just Universal getting a mega bomb ready for 2017. So 250M WW? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kowhite Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Does this have a really good script? Is Universal just throwing money at it? Lots of good people keep attaching themselves to this, it's impressive. And it may be the first movie since Episode 2 discarding Jar Jar that I've ever been so excited about who doesnt have a role in the movie.

Fancyarcher Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 (edited) This actually... exists! I know. It's not the first film was a big enough hit, that anyone would actually care to see a follow-up, or in this case a follow-down.

It's one of those, "We have an IP, a few known stars, and a good director, why not make this for a lower budget". Of course, now the director is gone, and the stars are not exactly box office draws, and I don't know if anyone wanted a sequel to Snow White, or if anyone remembers that a movie called Snow White and the Huntsman actually came out 4 years ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TalismanRing Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 They probably had an option on Hemsworth so he didn't have much choice in returning. I'm not sure what they had on Blunt and Chastain to get them to make this movie though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
