Trailers from before Fantastic Four
Aug. 31st, 2015 07:30 pmMaze Runner: This Year's Entry in the Killing Off Teenagers genre - Featuring Aiden Gillen as a shades of grey bad guy, I presume. Because well ... it's Aiden Gillen in a Hollywood film. Hell, it's Aiden Gillen in anything.
Legend: I think I'll need subtitles to watch this. Because Tom Hardy's accent as Ronnie Kray appears to be accurately thick. Although, oh no, the fanthings are going to be woobiefying at least one Kray and I thought we'd finally managed to break UK culture of their fascination with the Krays.
Everest: No film, Everest isn't the deadliest mountain in the world. It's not even the deadliest mountain in it's range. It never bodes well when a trailer opens with nonsense. And there's a miraculous lack of Sherpas in the trailer. Now that could just be how the trailers been made but ...
Yeah, I suspect there's going to be some moral whitewashing of the risks Sherpas take to get Westerners up the mountain in question.
The Transporter: Refueled - or whatever the reboot is called. I mean, I still don't know why they're rebooting it but they are. Things that amuse me include part of the advertising blurb being 'from the makers of Taken' when it was the success of the Transporter series that allowed them to make Taken. I think I am officially old and grumpy.
In spoilery news, although I'm not sure it counts as a spoiler when it's actually in the trailer, it turns out Ray Stevenson is not playing Tarconi, he is Frank Martin's dad. I'm not sure how I feel about the Transporter having a father. I'm even less sure how I feel about Ray Stevenson playing the father of the sharp-faced offspring of Luke Goss and Nicholas Hoult (who I seriously thought it was when I saw the first trailer).
Spectre - I may have made noises. I looks like baroque Bond kitschy crack, in the probably good way. Also, holy hell Monica Belluci!
