Anyway, the trailer looks good. Can't wait to see it. :)
That's officially THE LAST thing I'm looking at. It wasn't all spoilery, and that's great, but chances are the closer it gets, the more stuff they'll show.
I am so psyched for this. @-)
:))
I would have fainted if he had said it looked great.
Broz looks in top shape.
Actually, it'd be nice to look that good now...
:-?
BIG THIS!
This looks absolutely fantastic! Count me in for a veiwing once it is released! :-bd
It's different, that's why I liked it. It isn't Guns-n-Roses/AC/DC/etc., the generic stuff you'd expect.
I agree. Moreover, I did like it.
The Prince
A retired assassin is drawn back into the life he gave up when his daughter is kidnapped. To rescue her, he must confront his former rival.
The Equalizer
A former black ops commando who faked his death for a quiet life in Boston comes out of his retirement to rescue a young girl and finds himself face to face with Russian gangsters.
The November Man
An ex-CIA operative is brought back in on a very personal mission and finds himself pitted against his former pupil in a deadly game involving high level CIA officials and the Russian president-elect.
A Walk Among the Tombstones
Ex-NYPD cop Matt Scudder now works as an unlicensed private investigator operating just outside the law. When Scudder reluctantly agrees to help a heroin trafficker hunt down the men who kidnapped and then brutally murdered his wife, the PI learns that this is not the first time these men have committed this sort of twisted crime…nor will it be the last.
So basically this is the same movie, right? All opening almost within one month of each other.
I guess it's hard to come up with original ideas for films.;)
Most of the stories are the same in Hollywood, and even with certain genre scenes, they borrow from so many other films that it's merely all the same any longer, given a few exceptions. Most of the horror scares now are expected, most action sequences are generic (or horribly edited), most romance films have the same layout (especially rom-coms), etc. It's up to the director and screenwriter to shake it up and turn it up a notch. Take 'Insidious': one of the scariest films I've ever seen, and Whannell, who wrote the script, said that he had a list of horror cliches above his computer that he would scratch out and specifically avoid, and that's what gives us unique scares, jump moments, and character decisions (i.e. If you believe the house is haunted...get the hell out of there.)
Then with action, take the two 'The Raid' films: excellent choreography with very unique stunt sequences and fight scenes that you don't really find anywhere else, and it makes it more than something just generic. However, when you have the same tried-and-trued plots in films, it can be something even better if it's been given great directing, acting, cinematography, choreography, writing, etc. It just depends and varies.
Eight episodes and they're approximately 55 minutes (usually a little longer) each. I think you'll be very impressed with it.
@MajorDSmythe, I watched the trailer for 'The Prince' yesterday, and my biggest issue with the casting (aside from Bruce Willis being bored yet again) is Curtis Jackson. Not sure how he continues to get roles.
