I don't know if Alec Guinness was stuntcasty so much as a bunch of 60s film-school types who'd seen Lawrence of Arabia too many times and wanting to grab as much from that as they could, like using older(cheaper) Panavision cameras, shooting in the desert, and Omar Sharif's look.

Let's talk about the stunt intro text and stunt screen wipes.

Pretty much everything about the b movie was designed for sensationalism. Low budget roots necessitated eye-catching measures.

I enjoy the premise of this joke more than the execution*. It feels like it needs another pass thru for sharpening and ejection of too-easy jokes.

Freddie prinze jr became a writer for the wwe (or whatever they call it now) in the last decade. I think he may just be an enthusiastic nerd.

I don't know if Alec Guinness was stuntcasty

It's called "getting a star." It helped sell the dopey Force.

kinda unrelated but I heard the guys on the Flophouse podcast summarize Star Wars as "old guy takes a young guy to a bar" and it made me lol

about as nerdy as humanly possible

qualx, Friday, 24 April 2015 03:58 (nine years ago) link

I was being kind of jokey there. Wrestling is totally nerdy. I feel like the word 'nerd' has come from meaning someone persecuted for intellectual or physical differences to someone who enjoys x y z pop media.

Like the reason original nerds were so into Star Wars and fantasy stuff was to escape their shitty lives.

Alec Guinness, box office catnip XP

Yeah, it wasn't that long ago "nerd" and "geek" were insults

what the hell

Trank has several small dogs who were left in a rented house in New Orleans while the film was shooting there. According to sources, as much as $100,000 worth of damage was done to the property.

I hope this is really good and everyone rubs it in Lucas's face for the rest of his life (in regards to the prequels of course)

Indeed, producers on Fantastic Four, set for release July 30, are said to have faced great challenges pulling the film together given behavior described by one insider as “erratic” and at times “very isolated.” Trank did not offer clear direction, this person adds, saying, "If you've got someone who can't answer questions or who isn't sure or is in hiding, that's not good."

A Fox spokesman says the studio is “very happy with the movie and we can’t wait for audiences to see it” but acknowledges, “There were definitely some bumps in the road.”

Among those bumps: Trank has several small dogs who were left in a rented house in New Orleans while the film was shooting there. According to sources, as much as $100,000 worth of damage was done to the property. A source says the production considers any destruction of the property to be Trank's responsibility.

Citing Trank’s work on the 2012 found-footage superhero movie Chronicle, an insider says: “No question there’s talent there. You can’t do Chronicle by accident.” But Trank seemed “like one of these kids who comes to the NBA with all the talent and none of the character-based skills to handle it. There’s equipment he doesn’t yet have.”

man, to lose a star wars movie cuz your dogs shit all over a house

akm, Monday, 4 May 2015 18:59 (nine years ago) link

It sounds like he mostly got fired because he couldn't finish Fantastic Four filing on-time and the actors keep getting yanked back in from the movies they moved on to to re-shoot scenes

i mean "filming", the filing by all accounts was fair

Yeah I assume FF is overbudget and shitty.. and the one low blow detail they can leak about going over budget is the 100k in dog shit line item

$100,000?!?!!?

Karl Malone, Monday, 4 May 2015 19:20 (nine years ago) link

I'm sure the landlord came up with that estimate.

It would be cool to see a movie about several small dogs doing $100k damage to a house.
