Bullets 'n' Babes

With Guillermo del Toro at the helm I really cannot see this being anything but fantastic.

Chronos, Blade 2 and Pan's Labyrinth are all excellent and I hear The Devil's Backbone, Hellboy are excellent. Mimic is rubbish but even a great director is allowed one cock up.

To say Guillermo del Toro can do fantasy is putting it lightly.

Terry Gilliam could've likely done an excellent job as well, but he's burnt too many bridges in Hollywood.

Good point, him too. I think Guillermo del Toro will do a better job though.

Also, why do you consider Blade 2 excellent? I'd rate it 3/5 at best.

Of course it's no Pan's Labyrinth but it's easily the best of the three Blade films and is also an excellent action film.

I'd rate it 8 out of 10. The Gothic look, blood and fight action is spot on.

The first one is easily the best!

I've seen Blade a few times and every time I enjoy it but come away thinking "something is missing" and "it's overrated". It just doesn't gel together properly for me, like Blade 2 does.

The action is much better in Blade 2 too. Luke "When will I be Famous" Goss plays an excellent villian too. I think we can all agree Blade 3 is a turd though, as if we're supposed to be believe the villain is Dracula himself. What!

Blade 2 is the only one I own on DVD. I own Blade on an Official Thai VCD . The opening sequence of Blade is excellent though.

Hellboy was good too. I havent seen The Devils Backbone.

I find the fighting in Blade really satisfying; it flows, it's powerful, and it's not too jump-cutty. Blade 2 has shit fighting, it's all just fake Matrix-style stuff if I recall, where every punch lacks impact.

Del Toro Won't Direct The Hobbit:

I'm seriously worried now. Next to Jackson Del Toro was perfect, he may have been even more perfect than Jackson.

Surprised if Jackson himself would do it. I can't see Sam Raimi directing such a big film. But better Raimi than some guy we've never heard of.

Sam Raimi directed Spider-man . I cannot see Raimi directing it now. It'll be someone new.

Jackson never was going to do it, just produce.

Just because he directed Spiderman (I know he did) doesnt mean he's the right person for the Hobbit. I just hope its not an unknown.

Of course but you said something else before "I can't see Sam Raimi directing such a big film."

Fair enough, oops

Still hard to believe most expensive film of all time was Spiderman 3 (well so they say). Think how many superb litle films you could make Rammi just lost the plot with budgets, he should be banned from making expensive films.

Surely Avatar is the most expensive movie ever made these days?

Nope Avatar is nowhere near the most expensive accoring to many who made it, not even close. Still they all lie anyway I am sure

OMG! Peter Jackson is going to direct the two Hobbit films. Literally the perfect person for the job:

Check out it's still co-written by Guillermo del Toro.

Won't this thing will be filmed by some new cameras with a framerate of 48 frames per second for better 3D or something? =/
