Curt McGirt Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 They might just be doing that because they wanted it as a series... or maybe because it's longer than No Country for Old Men (!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 No, you aren't tripping, they really did find some Hungarian dude that looks just like Charles Bronson to make a Death Wish ripoff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It ain't that hard to find an old dude with a balled-up face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine being on Netflix and some algorithm leads you to that after watching Mr. Majestyk or Hard Times. You'll be a little freaked out at potentially undead Charles Bronson, but they now have your intrigue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Undead Charles Bronson would probably be no less mobile than Live Charles Bronson. I can imagine the cadaver bitching "You brought me back to make ANOTHER one of these?!" though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 BTW, thanx for reminding me of Hard Times, Loco. I've still never seen that even though I've seen just about all the classic Bronson films -- Majestyk, Mechanic, Chato's Land, etc. It's on Youtube so when my net time rolls over I'll need to watch it.

Swift Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 That's no Hungarian guy. He's from Bronson, Missouri. Also, they got an Alec Baldwin lookalike and soundalike too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.T. Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 16 hours ago, RIPPA said: Another trailer for The Girl in the Spider's Web IIRC, they will have to tinker with the antagonists a bit since the Spoiler elite group of cyber criminals led by Lisbeth's twin sister all go by hacker handles pulled from Marvel Comics characters. One guy goes by Thanos and another antagonist calls herself Wasp. I am not even sure why I put that bit in a spoiler since the Wikipedia page burns that angle in the Casting section. I read the book last week when I was on night shift. It is a bit convoluted, but it is a solid espionage thriller and it has toned down cartoonish features which bogged down Larsson's final Millennium novel like Mikael Bloomqvist being Sweeden's biggest booty magnet and Lisbeth breaking into the most secure computer networks in the world by magic. I am kinda happy that the US reboot did not survive past Dragon Tattoo because the Kicked The Hornet's Nest novel got really silly at the end and it made for a pretty ridiculous movie. I'm still bummed that Bloomqvist has been relegated from co main character to sidekick, but Lisbeth Salander is the face of the franchise now, so you may as well use her to sell this movie to the hardcore fans of the novels.
