Movies How Strange...


You know, looking at him, I'm not as disappointed as I thought I'd be seeing Cumberbatch as Dr. Strange.

http://nerdist.com/benedict-cumberba...o-concept-art/

Quote:
After months of speculation, we finally get to see Sherlock as the Sorcerer Supreme on the cover of Tuesday’s Entertainment Weekly. And he’s, well, pretty much what you’d have expected Benedict Cumberbatch as Dr. Strange to look like, complete with the Eye of Agamotto and elaborate astral projections.

Here’s the most impressive thing, and it’s a subtle one, but still–it’s not the cape that’s mind-blowing, nor the way we can do CG magic now, but the fact that after four Fantastic Four movies blew this detail, Marvel Studios has finally been able to create convincing-looking gray-hair temples!

EW promises that inside the issue, we will finally learn who Rachel McAdams and Mads Mikkelsen are playing, and while they don’t explicitly say so, we may get a sense of whether Tilda Swinton is playing the Ancient One as a woman or a man. Mikkelsen is playing the movies main villain, while Chiwetel Ejiofor was previously confirmed as villain Baron Mordo. We also learn that Cumberbatch is very self-conscious about getting the spell-casting gestures correct:

“I’m still in the infancy of learning all that,” Cumberbatch tells EW. “It was like, okay, I’ve got to keep throwing these poses, these spells, these rune-casting things, everything he does physically. I’m thinking, there’s going to be a huge amount of speculation and intrigue over the positioning of that finger as opposed to it being there, or there. And I’m still working on that. We haven’t played any of those scenes yet. I felt really self-conscious. But, then, by the end, it was great. It’s like anything, you just have to experiment.”

Well, here's hoping its magic-magic, and not just more incomprehensibly advanced alien technology "magic" like with Thor.


And yes, I agree those are some convincing gray hair temples

It will be just because thats what they've established for the universe. Any hope I have had of magic being a thing in the movies has gradually slipped away.

Which is something that always saddened me because its fun trying to watch the skeptical Tony Stark try and explain magic isn't real in the face of literal demons and wizards.

For some reason I thought the Fantastic Four movies were Fox's fault, not Disney/Marvel's.

I'm pretty sure they were. Wikipedia seems to claim both Fox and Marvel were the production companies, but I'm fairly certain Fox did most of the legwork in the 2014 one atleast.

I don't know why they are trying to blame Marvel, Fox has held the Fantastic Four movie rights for quite some time.

I'm guessing they aren't, though because the article references the failure of the other notable Marvel Comics property (as opposed to Marvel films) turned into films that has a protagonist with gray temples - the Fantastic Four - in the same sentence as it says that Marvel Studios "finally got [them] right" it does seem to imply (probably unintentionally) that Marvel had been at fault. Instead, I think what they were going for is the idea that Marvel Studios had "finally" succeeded at something that other film studios had failed at.

EDIT: or it could be a case of Did Not Do the Research, as,

QUOTE=Bard The 5th LW;1255249]I'm pretty sure they were. Wikipedia seems to claim both Fox and Marvel were the production companies, but I'm fairly certain Fox did most of the legwork in the 2014 one atleast.[/QUOTE]

... so if they went by Wikipedia... or perhaps Marvel had more influence than we thought, as I, at least, have not done the research...

(I also read Mauve's post as either being confused by the article or subtly indicating that the implication of the article's wording was incorrect, but printed words being the sticky wicket they always are could lead to other interpretations of either her reaction or their intent, too... dang it, Language.)

Ether way, I'm excited. Marvel really has done right by me so far, flops and all, sooooooo...

Tony's going to be flabbergasted enough when he meets Rocket Raccoon let alone be worried about magic.
