    I just think Hollywood believes, deep in their heart; that they’re the only medium that matters. They believe completely that books, plays, games and comics all exist purely to pass a test to maybe be made into a movie.
    And if it’s an eastern movie, Russian, Spanish, anywhere other than America; it exists to be made into an American version.

      It’s probably the best of the serious video game movies I’ve watched. The lore dump coming at the end to explain everything is still extremely clumsy storytelling, but it’s at least interesting enough that you want to make it to that. Also, it’s one of the few movies Sean Bean survives.

      @@darthmaul589 The lore dump coming at the end is entirely the producers’ fault. Gans needed one more week to shoot the originally planned ending which was really ambitious but he had accumulated delays throughout shooting the movie and they refused to give him one more week and instead had him rewrite and shoot the ending in a day. Also Sean Bean wasn’t made to be in the movie at all, that’s why his character is useless and doesn’t die xD the producers forced Gans to put a male character in the movie because there were only females aside from pyramid head except the movie was already in the middle of production. They threatened to pull back and not to release his film in the US if he did not so he did.
      All and all with what he was given he did really well.

    I actually sorta liked the Prince of Persia movie compared to other video game adaptations

      same. I haven't played the game but I thought as a film, without comparing anything, was entertaining

      It wasn't aggressively terrible like many videogame movies, but it was very forgettable, just another one of those bland action fantasy movies from early 2010's. They should've kept the fairytale atmosphere.

      You know, it made the checklist. There was prince, there was jumping, there was persia, we had princess, jumping, sands of time, jumping... So yeah, passable

    You should look up how Paul treats people on set, particularly stunt doubles. Not only does he destroy game franchises, he literally ensures people are horribly injured and mutilated in the process ✨

      Olivia Jackson was a stunt double for Milla and is lucky to be alive after what happened to her.

      @@FluffyBunniesOnFire She documents her recovery on Instagram. You can see the scarring and atrophy. I don't remember all the details but she lost more than just an arm. Part of her face was crushed, her jaw was partially torn off, ribs were broken, spinal damage, etc.

    I remember The Fourth Kind, I remember it creeping me the heck out for two years because I didn't bother to look up whether it was a real account of events or not.
    Kept wondering if the owls outside my house were the alien spies waiting to kidnap me. I don't have to worry anymore, but they still stare with their beautiful starry eyes. Starry...
