^ when i started reading your response i was ready to respond with Super 8 as a counter example despite some other issues... but then you ended there... it was really weird... we agreed on something and i'm not sure what to do with myself now....i'm going back to the toy threads.

Forget the main bear, nothing today would EVER be as creepy as the babies

Well, sounds like I can give up on a proper adaptation of the book. That's a real shame that MGM seems to want to turn MFatRoN into what sounds like a canned kids comedy.

It looks a lot more light hearted and "fun" than I was expecting. I didn't read every interview and article on it, so maybe I just missed the part where they talked about how jokey the Dr and Igor's relationship is played. It has a great cast, so I'm interested in it regardless. But I may have to readjust my expectation for what kind of movie this is.

^The US and UK trailers are very different. This one's creepier, more character focused, and cooler:



I think this could be a cool movie! Seems to be more in the Hammer vein of harping on the mad science aspect instead of primarily being about the monster.

Universal should be taking notes from Fox on this one

[XvGojira]

Well that second trailer you posted was awesome. Very much more what I thought it was going for originally.

So Simon Belmont returns?

Super gritty Power Rangers wasn't meant to be taken seriously, though...so it's not surprising you agree with him on some stuff.

From the studio that brought you Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides!
