Robin Hood, Salt And The Lightening Thief

Seil · 02-13-2010, 04:07 PM

So Sean Bean plays Zeus in the upcoming Lightening Thief flick, while Pierce Brosnan plays... Professor X? Didn't there used to be some "Jason And The Argonauts" thing on Teletoon a while back?

Ridley Scott and Russel Crow team up again for Robin Hood, which admittedly looks pretty badass. But then again, it could be another Tristan and Isolde - which wasn't bad... it just featured less awesome than what was in the trailer.

Lastly, Wanted. Maybe Tomb Raider? Wait, no - Mr. And Mrs. Smith. My mistake, Salt. Where Angelina Jolie plays some sort of super woman.

So does the thief keep losing weight or...?

I must say i got interested in that Percy Jackson movie. Never heard of it before, but the trailer looked good and the premise fun enough to warrant a watch.

Also, it will take attention from Twilight, so that's good.

I'm pretty sure I've seen that Robin Hood movie before.

I think it was called "Gladiator" or something back then....

Also, I don't see Russel Crow being anywhere near as awesome as Jonas Armstrong.

Don't get me wrong, Russel Crow is awesome in his own rights, but Jonas Armstrong is just amazing.

(Seriously, one of my pet peeves.)

Ok, yeah... about Robin Hood...... the only time he shows up with a Bow is in the very last few seconds of the trailer.

Calling BS right now.

Yep. For those of you who haven't seen the BBC series, here's a clip from the first (maybe second) episode.

The trailer for the movie makes me think it will be a cut and paste action movie. Also, according to Wikipedia, they are trying to throw in every character known in the series into a few short hours, which is gonna put a drain on character development.

Question - if you make a remake of a film based on a video game, will you still make a video game tie-in?l

Seil, Tron Legacy is going to be a sequel, actually, and not a remake. Also, Tron was not based on a video game (though there was an arcade game based on the movie that came out the same year).
