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

Hollywood is a weird place. John Carter was not a bad movie at all but Disney buried it because it was a remnant of the former managerial regime. When you break it all down, it never gets much different than high-school popularity politics.

Meanwhile, all forms of media are telling me that Channing Tatum is very talented. Okay.

He is. He's become a pretty awesome charismatic actor. He was terrible. But then he took acting lessons.

Tatum is tolerable in comedic roles.

he still has "****** face". I cannot take him seriously or watch anything with him in it. (same reason I try not to watch movies with
Jonah Hill)

Guillermo del Toro and Ron Perlman sat down with Legendary Pictures head Thomas Tull last night, a break from the San Francisco-based weekend press tour for Pacific Rim.

Del Toro told Ryan Turek of ShockTillYouDrop this morning during their one-on-one chat that Perlman brought up the prospect of Hellboy 3. "I hate giving pieces about it, but last night, we were at dinner and Ron said, 'I would be very happy to do Hellboy again, when are we doing Hellboy 3?' Thomas [Tull] said, 'I would love to see Hellboy 3.' He didn't say he would love to do it he just said he'd like to see it, but today, I'll ask him."

Later this morning, we spoke with Perlman agreed Legendary would be a great home for the final chapter in the Hellboy legacy.

"Not just anybody can make this movie," Perlman told us. "I loved working for Legendary and I know for Guillermo working on Pacific Rim was one of his greatest experiences. The reason I loved working for them is because Guillermo was so happy. I came in six months into the shoot and he seemed as fresh as a daisy, simply because he was working for someone who appreciated and supported his outlandish visions of what he wanted to put on the screen. My immediate, silent wish was, wouldn't it be great if these guys came in and helped resolve the Hellboy series."

Look for more with Perlman about the potential for a Hellboy III over on ShockTillYouDrop.com.

Legendary’s Thomas Tull Wonders Why You Care About PACIFIC RIM’s Tracking

Are we film fans or business fans?

Reports say that Pacific Rim, Guillermo del Toro's awesome monsters vs mechs movie, is tracking very poorly. I'm not hugely surprised - it's an original movie without name brand recognition, the stars aren't marquee level and, to be frank, Warner Bros has been only selling this movie as a CGI spectacle, with almost no hint as to what the story is or who the characters are. But here's the thing... why do we care?

Today was the Pacific Rim junket and Shock-Til-You-Drop asked Thomas Tull, the honcho at Legendary, who mostly financed the film, about the tracking. I like Tull's answer:

"It has almost become like sporting events. Every weekend, it's so wildly reported on and now even opining about tracking, which is kind of weird to me. I can tell you, when I was a kid and Star Wars came out, I wasn't like, 'I don't know, the trailer looks cool, but the tracking sucks.' I don't know what that is."

On some level I get the obsession with tracking and early buzz. It's about the way that movie fandom has become a home team endeavour - fans seem to cheer on franchises and companies more than movies or even filmmakers. Instead of being glad that del Toro got a mega-budget for once, fans focus on whether there will be a Pacific Rim 2. It's part of the obsession with box office numbers - which have the added value of validating a fandom. If you like Man of Steel a lot not only does the box office guarantee Man of Steel 2, it allows you to feel like you're objectively right.

Having a rooting interest makes some sense, but it feels like it's gone too far. Part of that is the internet age; where Variety and other trades were once really trades - ie, published for people in the industry - they're now closer to general interest publications. General interest publications that also serve as trades and that also know certain search terms - like Guillermo del Toro or Pacific Rim - will get them hits. Tull didn't know about tracking when he was a kid because it wasn't reported anywhere. Box office was barely reported back then. But that's changed in a big way.

Yeah, I'd like to see Pacific Rim tracking well, if only because it's a really good movie and I want people to see it where they should see it - on a big, big screen. But the movie is the movie, and it's the movie del Toro wanted to make. I'm glad it exists. The tracking and the opening weekend won't change the fact that Pacific Rim is essentially the robots vs monsters movie you've been hoping to see your whole life, just like Star Wars was the Flash Gordon movie Baby Boomers had wanted to see their whole lives.

It reminds me of the recent brouhaha about Jim Carrey refusing to do Kick-*** 2 promo. People were mad he 'broke his contract,' as if they knew what was in his contract. Even if he did break his contract... was it with you? His performance matters, not his fealty to the corporations behind the films. We don't owe the corporations anything. We're on the side of the artists, of the directors and the actors and the writers and everybody who works on a movie, not the people who fund them. I don't care if Legendary gets rich, I care if Pacific Rim is good.

And it is.

I care if this does well. Its important.

 

[chewblacca]

You got that right. If this is as good as I think it will be and it does well then other good sci-fi will hopefully get made, and no more safe boring stuff.

 

[CelticPredator]

I want it to do well, so Del Toro can do well.
