ddddeeee Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Carol had been delayed 190291 times, when Mia signed on to this it finally happened. It was pure chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 I like Mia better than Stone for this part but I think Mara will be more interesting in the Carol part than Mia, so it worked out for me I guess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kowhite Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 (edited) My only hope is this film stays true to being a proper classic style horror movie and doesn't turn into a CG orgy at the end. Sink that budget into the production design. Awesome sets, but don't go all Jan DeBonts the Haunting on me. That fucking movie...something about it...it looks like she thing I want to like...but it fucking sucks.

PDC1987 Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 I really don't think a GDT period horror film is gonna lack in the production design department lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
La Binoche Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 I want to like this. In the age of microbudget horror movie overload we need a big gothic horror extravaganza with lavish sets and costumes and sex and blood and excess. But the trailers aren't doing it for me. Hopefully it turns out well for del Toro, Chastain and Wasikowski (who deserved an Oscar nomination for Tracks last year). All three deserve it.

The Futurist Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 I am actually bummed about Del Toro the filmmaker. He is the best world builder & production designer working in Hollywood ( just saw Hellboy 2 again, deal Lord !) at the moment but it seems that s the only thing I get out of his movies most of the time. It looked amazing BUT ... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looked amazing BUT ... I get you. His English language output is amazing to look at, but otherwise...it's just Tim Burton movies but with a geek hardon. Totally watchable, but not up to the greatness I want. But they all look great. Come on GDT, DEVLIVER. I know you can design the shit out of a movie, but tell me a fucking good story already. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fancyarcher Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 (edited) I'm a huge fan of Del Toro, and not just because of his style. Aside from his Spanish language films, I love Hellboy 1 and 2 because I genuinely think the films are very entertaining and well done, with great characters and moments, plus I'm fan of the comic in general, and Pacific Rim is just awesome (yeah, tell me I'm wrong Kowhite, I'll stand by opinion). Based off everything I've seen of Crimson Peak. It looks to be no different. Edited September 16, 2015 by FancyArcher 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But still it delivers the goods on visuals and action...so...I totally get it...even if I think a lot of it blows. If it makes you feel better, I took my friend to a screening...granted he was completely stoned...and he fucking loved it. That's the problem with PacRim...when it works...oooooh boy, it works. And it makes me all the more annoyed the rest didn't. Edited September 16, 2015 by kowhite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the producers probably were thinking about Bayformers movies while green lighting it but still 190m for an invested property, that s kinda rare these days ... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it makes me all the more annoyed the rest didn't. Pacific Rim basically worked for me, because I really got invested in the world. You might have not liked most of the the human only scenes, and I agree that Hunman was pretty bland (he didn't really take away from the film for me), but I'm sure as heck as was fine with the human scenes.

The only backstory that worked was Elba & Rinko father/daughter thing, the drift flashback was amazing, probably the best scene of the movie where big robots & kajus didn't beat the shit out of each other. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought they had fine chemistry, and was happy that their relationship didn't get anywhere beyond being partners honestly. Also Rinko kicked some serious ass in the film.
