I said that line to my wife but I swapped the word apocalypse with credit card.

Are you sure your wife didn't say that when you pre-ordered the Burton Batmobile?

 

[CelticPredator]

I'm pretty sure A LOT more people know who Spielberg is vs. most of the guys you mentioned... except maybe Scorsese

Nolan and Spielberg, right now, are neck and neck. Ooh, forgot about JJ. Abrams. JJ. Abrams is pretty well known right now.

I never said all time.

She was reminded today that its coming.

She was the Kaiju and I was the Jeagermeister.

Well she better get the extra room ready. The baby can sleep somewhere else.

You know Sony ended up dropping Hellboy, and Universal picked it up right?

I was with Dougie Jones when Guillermo called up and told him that Universal had finally given the green light after months of searching for a new studio. I was even invited to a preview screening hosted by Universal, was interviewed by a bunch of suits from the studio regarding my thoughts on film, and Guillermo sat behind me and kicked my seat during the screening.

So yeah, I know.

Where did I mention anything about a one specific studio? Don't you think studios pay attention to the box office and DVD sales numbers of competing studios in addition to that of their own? Universal saw that Hellboy was selling well on DVD, and when Guillermo went shopping for a sequel headquarters there, they accepted mostly due to that fact.

 

[CelticPredator]

Because Universal is the chance giver studio. Had they not it pickled up, there would've never been a HB 2.

 

[jye4ever]

Ok, the acting from that scientist (I guess) speaking with RP seemed stiff for lack of a better term.

 

[Master Wayne]

Maybe, maybe not. There was other interest elsewhere, but Universal was willing to grant most of the budget that G was asking for.

 

[CelticPredator]

Still. They took a chance where the other studio did not. That was my point.

I really, want this movie to do well. But i'm breaking it down why it might not so you guys don't kill yourselves.

 

[jye4ever]

Oh yeah......

good stuff

I blame the studios. They opened Hellboy against Spider-Man 2 and Hellboy 2 against The Dark Knight. Seriously?

Shame really, oh well, I own both so i'm content.

I loved them both

Hmmmm

I still prefer 1

Damn you, Universal! DAAAAMN YOU!!!

 

[Master Wayne]

I too prefer the first Hellboy. I always have. My issue with the second film is it sets up a lot of great things that we may never see paid off now. That and all the slapstick humor. Tonally it's just odd at times, and much less in tune with that of the comics. The first film was much more faithful and consistent.

Mike didn't want GDT to stick to the comics. He wanted him to make his own thing.

So, blame the creator for not wanting someone to copy their work.

Mignola wanted him to do his own thing, while honoring the spirit of source material and not going crazy with it.

Guillermo didn't stick to the comics. Ever. The first film takes TONS of liberties, such as Hellboy and Liz being an item, Abe's physic abilities, the entire WWII sequence, the death of the villain, and so on. It's very different, but the tone is a match. It is in tune with the comics. At the end of the day Mike was happy with the balance struck in the first film. He told me so.

Hellboy II was completely a GTD film. It had bizarre humor and was inconsistent in tone. It felt like a different universe from the first film. It also felt nothing like the comics. Mike didn't care for it as much. He told me that too.

 

[Master Wayne]

I'm going to not believe that until I hear him personally say it.

You don't have to. He said it to me when I asked him his opinion a couple of years back. I have nothing to gain by making it up.

 

[CelticPredator]

I have confirmed you were right-ish. But that isn't going to stop me from enjoying HB2.

Just took a few links is all.

You're really MM aren't you.

HB2 reminded me of Pans Labyrinth.
