Niners Fan in CT Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Sinister 2 - 1 Fresh, 11 Rotten (8%) Hitman: Agent 47 - 1 Fresh, 17 Rotten (6%) Yikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRGoldman Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Sinister 2 would be better if James Ransone was playing a fresh out of prison Ziggy who starts to see demons and ghosts and shit. That movie sounds awesome. The real sinister 2 sounds shitty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Why are they even trying Hitman again? I know Hollywood is full of studios that are lazy and uncreative but Jesus. It's not like there were Hitman fans clamoring for another film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxB Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Producers and Directors are arrogant egomaniacs who think they can prove their greatness by succeeding where someone else has previously failed? Also, there's probably a feeling that the whole 'video games make a lot of money, so if we base a movie off of a popular game, everyone who likes the game will see it and we'll make a fortune' concept is bound to come good sooner or later. But most video game companies are protective of their licences, and Hitman is already either still licensed from the first film, or the owners just think the damage is already done, so why not let them try again?

S.K.o.S. Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 If anyone still wanted to see that Hitman movie after the part in the trailer where he's in handcuffs and uses the chain between them to deflect a bullet then they have very different taste than me.

Both movies are blatant cash grabs that deserve to tank. The first Sinister movie was a flawed yet satisfying dark fable that really didn't need a sequel and the current fucking Hitman abomination has an Agent 47 that is more Terminator than he is the silent assassin of the video games.

I read the article on Grantland today where the Sinister writer said that horror sequels usually get it wrong, but they were going to try and emulate one of the few franchises that got it right: Paranormal Activity. I knew at that point this movie was fucked beyond all hope. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 I'm not even kidding, Sinistar is one of the (somewhat) obscure video game titles I'd like to see someone re-attempt with modern bells and whistles. Shit could be amazing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Aside from the really stupid jump scare at the end and forgivable plot holes, Sinister did get it right for the most part. Why the sequel is trying to emulate PA is beyond me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiji Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Well now... Deadline is reporting that Paramount has acquired the rights to Devil in the White City Directed by Scorsese starring Leo That would be fantastic. I read the book as part of a history course on American consumerism. That book was so fucking great and unnerving, I'm surprised it's taken this long to get an adaptation. It screams hard to fuck up but you never know. Edit: holy shit, Trumbo. Beyond an an exciting cast, the actual story of a blacklisted writer is something I've been looking forward to for a long time. And that Kirk Douglas tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted August 27, 2015 Author Share Posted August 27, 2015 Here’s how Michael Fassbender will look in the Assassin’s Creed film, which is scheduled to be released in December 2016. He plays Callum Lynch, a dude who uses Abstergo tech to revisit his 15th-century Spanish ancestor, Aguilar, according to Yahoo. Presumably Fassbender will play both characters. They start filming next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
