If you thought the versions of the kilrathi in the movie were bad, wait till you see them through Tim Burton's eyes.

If there really were plans for a second movie, do you think Chris Roberts should direct it, or should they get someone else?

Roberts is fine...it's the *other* people we have to worry about...:) After all, he essentially directed two interactive movies which came out great...I feel if he had the right cast and crew around him the movie would be a box-office smash. (Duh :))
 
so you would agree that next time out, money will be a very important factor in getting it to fly with the masses?

However it would be really cool to see what would hapen with the material in the hands of say James Cameron, Stephen Speilberg, Ridley Scott, or my personal Fav: Michael Mann.

James Cameron: He's done a lot of good but you have to wonder about a guy who did Piranha II: The Spawning.

Steven Spielberg: If he wouldn't touch Harry Potter, I don't think he'd even consider doing WC.

Ridley Scott: Hack job. Hasn't done a good movie since Blade Runner. Biggest mumbleing idiot on the telephone I've ever heard. "Um, yeah, well... I... think you... might have to call Jerry... on that... Do I still have his number?"

Michael Mann: I love Heat, so I can't say a bad thing about the man.

I agree with every point. Although, I've never heard Ridley Scott on the phone, so I can't comment on that one.

However, if either he or James Cameron did a WC movie, there'd be slimey Kilrathi crawling through the carrier's air ducts :D

... and in James Cameron's case, Bill Paxton would be cast as
someone :p
 
The profesional and La femme Nikita rocked. The Fifth element though, although enjoyable was a little hokey. The Taxi scene was really cool though. The messenger was a little overlong. (at least the international version. )

Personaly I didn't like the goofy futurist concepts of say the military and police uniforms in Fifth element, but that has more to do with the production designer than Besson. (Interestingly didnt the same guy (not besson) arborgast? come up with the WC movie stuff)

As for the first three of those, I didn't mean I would pick them, I mean that they all have done some decent stuff in the past from which I could see elements that could be used effectively in WC. Plus they were the famous directors that first came to mind. But I love Michael Manns work... Heat, Last of the Mohicans, Manhunter... insider was alright and I'm very very interested in seeing Ali.

Thierry Arbogast is usually Luc Besson's Director of Photography.

I really enjoy his work, since it's always very kinetic to watch.

You made me chuckle with that Paxton rip, Dom. It is true that Paxton would be in there somewhere. Him and Cameron were old High School buddies.
 
True about the kinetic feel! Very view DP's can pull it off. Dont you hate it when Some hack job tries for kinetic and it comes off as a headache inducing mess. Somehow there are a lot who feel that jerky, I-cant-tell-what-i'm-looking-at-or-whats-happening, fast movement camera work somehow corelates into kinetic feeling movie making! But when the exceptional few put out the amazing, fluid action photography that captures a sense of excitment as well as a feeling of realism... wow thats talent!!!

They were :eek: ??

Wow. That would explain it!

Of course, I am quite partial to Paxton's immortal role as "Hudson."

:cool:

Actually, I've read in some French magazine that he's thinking about doing the sequel. Maybe after the AI Disaster he's decided to be less choosy :).

Hmm, on that note, someone enlighten me - AI was a pretty awful movie according to pretty much everyone I talked to, but how did it do in terms of money?

I was about to disagree, but then I looked at his filmography :p. Although I liked 1492: Conquest of Paradise (1992).
And, your dislike of pop-culturey stuff aside, I've heard that Gladiator was a great film (though, oddly enough, I dinna see it myself).
 
Wait, who have you been talking to?

People seem to be pretty split on AI -- but not incredibly negative. I, personally, thought it was an amazing movie because it captured that kind of amorphous 'magic' that you used to get in a movie like the original Star Wars films... the feeling that a believable world fantastic had really been created.

Still, you should see it -- the biggest complaint that's thrown around is "I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND THE ENDING"... which says more about intelligence of the average movie go-er than the quality of the movie itself.
 
My problem with AI was that I found it terribly long stretched towards the end. But some nice ideas. I enjoyed Gladiator as well but wasn't completely overwhelmed when I saw it. Personally I dislike the hard and fast cuts during the battle scenes.
