With all the Twilight crap going on, I found myself thinking about how sad it is that things as rad as Werewolves and Vampires were getting movies as terrible as Twilight, Underworld, etc.

This looks to be a fucking werewolf story done right.

Good or not it will be watchable

Fuck yeah. Love that man.
I maintain Taken was pretty stupid with a stupid plot but LIAM NEESON BEATING BEOPLE UP for like an hour and a half made that movie great to me.

I was surprised to find out this was made by Australians. It's starring all American actors in an American setting though, so I don't think we can count that as a win for Australian cinema (Pretty shitty).

so this is probably a good thread to discuss the upcoming Marmaduke movie, yes?

LOS ANGELES — Tom Dey is smiling at a wide computer screen in an editing studio at 20th Century Fox: A shy romantic greeting is unfolding between the hunky lead character and his soon-to-be girlfriend.
Dey has a lot to smile about. He's the director of Marmaduke, a live-action feature movie he says will be told from the viewpoint of Marmaduke, the Great Dane made famous in the popular comic strip. The comedy opens in June.

"We've approached the movie like a John Hughes movie with dogs," Dey says. "The dog park is like high school for dogs. To make this kind of movie, you really have to understand that it is the dog's world and we just live in it."

The kinds of rich characterizations Hughes embodied in teenage stars such as Matthew Broderick in Ferris Bueller's Day Off translate to the Marmaduke story lines, Dey says, including one theme about "the vulnerabilities" of Marmaduke.

"Marmaduke is a teenager, and he's trying to find his way in the world," Dey says. "It's a boy-meets-girl story, a coming-of-age and cautionary tale. My job as director is to try to place the audience inside this world."

Marmaduke is totally Duckie in Sixteen Candles, you guys.

To be fair, they're not really ruining the original material there.

I forgot about that. It does look like it has potential.

And if they do a trailer for Clash of the Titans any time soon, I'll post that and shit all over it before seeing it as well.

Welp. Terrible dialog, annoying music, and the Stygian witches look like Guillermo del Toro leftovers.

wait what, watching that trailer makes you think it will be bad? How can you judge the dialogue when there's only like one sentence spoken

I thought that was an awesome trailer, maybe i'm crazy or something

garfield is marketed extremely widely
movie tie-in was a matter of time

I rank Marmaduke just under "Ikea Assembly Instructions Pamphlet" on my list of things to make movies out of

Marmaduke has been around since the 50s so I'd say people are familiar with the character

Dichotomy

quit making a case for a movie about marmaduke

it's your fault there are bad things

I'm not defending people making bland/terrible movies based on bland/terrible properties, but I understand why they get made

A dude gotta make money

because obviously Marmaduke is a timeless story in the vein of classic John Hughes films

No, no. Anny's right. While I can't make a judgment about dialogue, everything else about that trailer screams awful.

Macera

Yeah, plus it's not like it's going to be an hour and a half of Liam Neeson. He'll probably be in it for like ten minutes total.
