THE HUNTSMAN WINTER'S WAR | April 22, 2016 | New Trailer on Page 42!

[Cochofles]

Like many others, I am still confused in regards to what this is supposed to be...prequel, sequel, sidequel, or what? Also, I am still not sold on Blunt's quasi-Elsa character design. I wish they had given her a more distinctive look, especially in light of Frozen's mega-success. As for Chastain, still can't see her as this supposedly hardass warrior.

[Fancyarcher]

Been hearing reports that Chastian is actually in this film because she's contractually obligated by Universal after starring in Crimson Peak. As for Blunt, I have no idea. Maybe watching Frozen before birth had something to do with it.

 

As for the trailer, yeah, it looks cheesy and not in a good way.

I thought those sorts of contracts don't exist anymore, I could understand Hemsworth and Theron as they starred in the first film but not Chastain

I dunna. Actors are still potentially olbligated to appear in an extra one or two films when they sign up for a franchise.

Triple Nine is Open Road I believe.

Whoops. Got my companies mixed up. My bad! I do believe actors can still obligated by a company to appear in at least one of their films. Although I can't think of any examples right now.

Blunt's character is a White Witch/Elsa mix. When she rides that bear it's almost exactly looks like Narnia 1's battle scene.

I would see this for Theron alone. She is a goddess among mere mortals

 

I think it looks good. I like that it doesn't look so dark and serious as the first. 

[Cochofles]

Theron looks glorious indeed, especially when she first emerges in that golden feather getup. She is simply stunning. Hemsworth, as usual, seems lost and confused amid all the CGI and actressy scenery-chewing.

The only reason to see this is THeron, shes going to completely steal the show like the first one. 

[CJohn]

Theron and Hemsworth are getting 10M each to do this. It is absurd to even discuss why they are making it. That is a huge paycheck. 

 

No idea about Chastain or Blunt, tho.

Especially when you consider the first film wasn't that big a hit, the first film cost $170m, here hoping Universal haven't upped The Huntsman to $200m or it's going to a writeoff

Seems like it costed something like 100-120M. Marketing will be all around Theron... again.

It's both a prequel and a sequel.

It s a Quel.

[CJohn]

Yup, it is a prequel and sequel. The first half is the Huntsman origins. The 2nd half is after Snow White and The Huntsman events. 

[dashrendar44]

It's a Quarter Quel. (part-prequel, part-sequel, part-interquel, part spin-off)

 

[The Futurist]

It looks like actors improvised their lines, which they probably did.

My ears! My fucking ears!
