I thought I heard somewhere that it was inspired by Long Halloween.
And yeah, I don't like how they announced upfront that it's a trilogy - that makes me want it to bomb even more.
Yeah unless a movie is based on a trilogy of books I don't want to hear any mention of the "T" word prior to a film's release.
No kidding. They seriously need to stop doing this like as though it guarantees success when it really seems to guarantee the opposite.
