Yeah, I was tempted to post that under the obituaries thread last night, but wound up leaving the house before I got around to it. It's a real shame, since I feel like nobody currently working could do Lovecraft like Del Toro, but then again: That is not dead, which can eternal lie. I do think it's a bit unrealistic to expect a budget like that without also getting profitability requirements like mandating age accessibility.

Pity, but yeah, I doubt we've heard the last of it.  This is del Toro's dream project.

That was my comment elsewhere. He's going to pitch it to other studios, so there's a chance yet.

I mean, I wasn't sure how I felt about it, seeing as I'm well-known as one of those guys who invariably winds up hating movie adaptations of books he likes. And Lovecraft books seem harder to adapt than most books by like, an order of magnitude at least.

But this sounds like it might be really good. And I totally agree with GDT's opinion that Hollywood is LONG overdue for another horror movie that's good enough to be called a great movie straight-up, rather than yet another low-budget genre flick.

Ironically, the execs won't greenlight the project because they are afraid of it.

They are afraid of it because it is impossible for them to comprehend.

The Smurfs Theatrical Trailer 3D 2011

BREAKING HEADLINE:

GROSSLY OVER-BUDGETED FILM WITH LAUGHABLE DIALOGUE, EXTENSIVE PRODUCT PLACEMENT, AND ENDING THAT GOES NOWHERE BEING REMADE BY HOLLYWOOD
PEOPLE SOMEHOW EXPECT FILM TO BE DIFFERENT FROM SOURCE MATERIAL

God damn, do you really not like Akira?

Plot wasn't anything new but that was hardly the point of the manga or the movie.

God that is a perfect description.

That looks horrible.

I mean, really I don't think there was anything else to be expected, but that manages to somehow be worse than anything I had envisioned.

You envisioned a live-action 3D Smurfs film?

When I heard they were making one, yes.

The existence of this movies is old news. The trailer (and NPH's involvement) is what's new to me.

Is there a website that will allow me to play the Smurfs, Alvin and the Chipmunks, Yogi Bear and Marmaduke trailers all at once? I want to get high.

It has a good cast, including a pretty friggin' incredible makeup job on Hank Azaria to make him look just like the toon Gargamel.

It still, of course, looks legitimately awful.

Of course, Smurfs is one of those things that I'm not entirely sure can be made any worse than it was in the first damn place.

So ... it's a documentary?
