Apple trailer for Red Riding Hood [GWRRH] Antibody Nov 16, 14:48

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

They would be more than happy to get the 50% that brought $200M to Twilight. {nm} Antibody Nov 16, 15:04

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 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
