They would be more than happy to get the 50% that brought $200M to Twilight. {nm}

That looks awful. DiCaprio and co. are idiots for choosing the director they chose. {nm} HarryWarden Nov 16, 14:53

They chouse her so they could advertise "From the Director of Twilight". It reminds me of The Village. {nm} Antibody Nov 16, 15:00

The Twilight reference turns off about 50% of the population while it's far from guaranteed the other half will want to see this. {nm} HarryWarden Nov 16, 15:01

Plus, I don't know if anyone noticed, but the first Twilight was by far the cheapest looking, worst one. {nm} HarryWarden Nov 16, 15:03

Like I said, it's far from a guarantee that they'll want to see this. I expected more from DiCaprio as a producer. {nm} HarryWarden Nov 16, 15:06

Yes, there are no guarantee, but this is an easy marketing hook that could be successful with just a fraction of what Twilight made. {nm} Antibody Nov 16, 15:10

I agree... they'd be crazy NOT to mention Twilight. {nm} secretstalker Nov 16, 15:11

Twilight was successful because of the books. No one goes to the movies because of the director. {nm} HarryWarden Nov 16, 15:11

thats mostly true, but you are discounting the ability to link twilight to this movie {nm} Moviesnob Nov 16, 15:13

I dont think they hired her simply so they could say "From the Dir of Twilight" but since they have her, they would be wrong not to use it {nm} Moviesnob Nov 16, 15:13

Even the story is Twilight -like. A heroine in a love triangle, one of whom could be a werewolf. {nm} Antibody Nov 16, 15:15

That's why they use From the Director of Twilight, and not From Director Catherine Hardwicke ;) {nm} Antibody Nov 16, 15:22

And when David Slade makes another movie, it will be "From the Director of the Twilight movie that didn't suck so bad" {nm} secretstalker Nov 16, 15:37

LOL! {nm} HarryWarden Nov 16, 17:43

if your marketing has enormous appeal for 50% of the population, thats worth dying over {nm} Moviesnob Nov 16, 15:05

Did anyone read what I wrote? {nm} HarryWarden Nov 16, 15:06

That's your opinion. {nm} Antibody Nov 16, 15:07

Would be far more appealing had they gone darker with something more violent and atmospheric. {nm} HarryWarden Nov 16, 15:15

They're going after women. The violent and dark WOLFM failed. {nm} Antibody Nov 16, 15:16

Because it was a troubled production that turned into a pretty terrible movie. Must every movie target women these days? It seems that way HarryWarden Nov 16, 15:20
