MacReady Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Just now, BroncosFan2010 said: Just watched the preview for Suburbicon and it looks like great fun. Hints of a Cohen brothers movie but directed by Clooney. It looks like a major miss to me. Like it tries too hard to be classic Cohen brothers and instead comes off as a poor imitation. Plus, Clooney isn't a good director at all. Confessions of a Dangerous Mind is okay, and it got more praise than it deserved because it was his first. Good Night, and Good Luck was alright. Leatherheads was awful, awful. The Ides of March was horribly pretentiously bad, and The Monuments Men was bad. Clooney basically doesn't do anything new in directing and he's far too pretentious to ever get good at it. They don't make an entire episode of his smugness for nothing.

I agree with Clooney regarding his direction as of late, but lets remember this is the man that got South Park discovered in the first place. He once was pretty level headed (SP and Confessions days), then got super smug, and the tone of this film makes me hope he may have grounded himself a bit. But who knows. I will hold out hope because I love a nice dark comedy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deadpulse Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Down for that! Wonder who the other mutants will be. Domino going to be in it like Cable? Psylock? Probably not Wolverine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaiderX Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Interesting. Cabin in the Woods was something else. Not sure why he didn't direct another film after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not Wolverine I don't know. It could be a good opportunity for Fox to introduce a new Wolverine without the character taking over the X-Men films like Jackman did. If the new Wolverine works out, you can then build off that character. If people hate the new one, then you can always move on when they feel like re-introducing Wolverine back into the X-Men in maybe 10 years or so.

Wolverine is too big a property to re-cast in an ensemble lead by another "hero". If they include Wolverine, I hope the make use of Cables timey whimey and its Laura from post Logan.

Beck Bristow Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 X23 being a clone means they can just wake her up in this timeline. They don't need much explanation at all really. This movie seems a fun opportunity to bring a few different xmen casts together. Psylocke, Archangel, X-23, the deadpool cast, maybe even Gambit. Goddard is usually on my wavelength, so I look forward to whatever they do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dingo18287 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Anyone else going to be watching American Assassin, which opens this week? I've read all the books by original author, Vince Flynn. If you like spy, CIA, Middle East stuff, highly recommend it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too have read all the books on Mitch Rapp, and Vince Flynn is a close second for me (behind Tom Clancy) for that genre. As someone who really grew to like the character, I feel excited to see it come to life on the big screen. Unfortunately... I have to agree that the movie trailer looks like it is going to disappoint, and I'm concerned the franchise will tank as a result. The biggest thing for me though, looking at the trailer... Dylan O'Brien to me just does not embody who Mitch Rapp is. If anything, Taylor Kitsch would be the perfect casting. But by going with Dylan it seems they want a young actor to kick off the whole series (hopefully), so I cross my fingers and hope that it turns out good.

X-Force has seen countless incarnations and lineups. Wolverine could play a small role and Fox can gauge the reaction to a new version of him. Deadpool leading X-Force is much more of a forced fit and they greenlit that. LoL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoL Quote Fox has set Drew Goddard to write and direct X-Force, the X-Men universe pic that revolves around Deadpool and Cable leading a Black Ops force of down and dirty mutant warriors who are far more ruthless than their X-Men counterparts. Check the bold. Cable is likely the hierarchy leader of the group, while Deadpool is probably just the leading character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's still Fox forcing Deadpool into spots he wouldn't normally be but Marvel has been doing the same with him for years. They take a super popular character and stick him anywhere and everywhere. I'd rather see Deadpool be an outside force getting in X-Force's way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cable is also the first ever leader of X-Force. Seems like Fox is following the source material pretty well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
