Fucking movies.

This was almost as worse of a choice than when New Line previewed Hedwig and the Angry Inch at the Republican National Convention.

Oh, and fucking T.A. Edison

EddieMoney

You are not remembering correctly. It was actually "Priscilla, Queen of the Desert," and was several years prior.

When was the last time a movie directed by the Wachowskis turned a profit? 2003?

Ash Ketchum

Aah, so that's what the empty chair represented.

inri222

Correct

The Matrix Revolutions (2003)

Shannon Nutt

In their defense, this is only the third movie they've directed since 2003.

- Didn't know much about or even knew the film was in production
- Saw the trailer on TV - was intrigued
- Tracked it down online... lots of Sean Bean action shots, but his name isn't even legible on the poster
- Concluded that Bean's character will die early in the film.

DaveyJoe

Look at Sherlock Fucking Holmes deducing that Sean Bean will die in a movie.

RocShemp

Based on one of the later trailers, I think he dies during the climax or just before it. But either way it's a safe bet that he's dead by the end of it.

Dr. DVD

Maybe next year they will screen a new Transfomers movie...

RocShemp

I would actually love to read the remarks of a Sundance crowd to that kind of premier.

Goldberg74

That right there... that's the downfall of society as we know it.

Why So Blu?

Terry Gilliam has a role in JA.

Look, I'll go to my grave defending Speed Racer and stating its one of the most underrated films of our time. I just don't think Sundance is the best place to debut a $175M "blockbuster." Especially one that was scheduled to be out seven months ago.

I use blockbuster in quotes as I think both this and Seventh Son (which is also getting an IMAX release on the same day ) are going to tank. The Wachowskis haven't had a hit since The Matrix Trilogy and I am still surprised Warner gives them blank checks to do whatever (I get that Cloud Atlas was financed outside of the studio system, but Warner took care of advertising and distribution just to keep the family at Warner).

Hey, remember when Seventh Son was supposed to be released on February 15, 2013?

whotony

Was my thought exactly, before seeing that post.

I probably won't see it at the movies but will at home.
Looks really interesting but so did Cloud Atlas. hmm

dex14

So it opens this week. What do you think? Another bomb for the Wachowskis?

Deftones

I think there's no doubt this bombs massively.

Troy Stiffler

I think it looks good. I'll see it. Probably this weekend.

Who knows if it'll profit. Ungrounded sci-fi is always risky. When it goes too far out there, people can't connect.

Jaymole

I just can't see this doing well....

Osiris3657

I have free screening passes for tonight but I'm not sure I'm going to take advantage of it.

RichC2

Currently at 30% on rottentomatoes, looking like it might be as bad as it looks.

Solid Snake

Damn.

Why So Blu?

I'll be seeing this in theaters but until next week.

Ash Ketchum

I thought you were joking, but, yeah, he's in it and if you say that's him, I believe it. Too bad he didn't direct it.
