How could this movie cost so much? :wow: That's the same budget as Man of Steel. This is gonna go down as one of the biggest bombs in BO history.

You guys are some pathetic, hypocritical fakkits. Hollywood makes the same old movie time after time and you all complain that they're out of ideas. But when they come out with an original movie like this one suddenly you don't give a shyt and want the movie to fail.

Anyway, I hope this movie makes its money in foreign markets like Cloud Atlas (which did poorly in the US but made much of its money in China).

hollywood is precisely what fukked this movie up so I really don't know what you're complaining about. Cloud Atlas is a great example of hollywood getting the fukk out of the way, and it's actually a really dope flick.

First time director, original movie (not a sequel or franchise), the writers of fast and furious and drive teaming up with Keanu Reeves? :aicmon:

I had no idea it had such a large budget, thought it was 50mil tops. Universal is going to take a huge L on this

:snoop: they act like this is gonna be keanu's new matrix franchise or something. Terrible.

that shyt has flop written all over it.

The other thing is that 47 Ronin is a well-known folk story in Japan. It's considered a national legend. I'm not sure they'll be excited to see a foreign remake of one of their national stories starring a white dude, with subpar effects and massive plot changes.

It's a good question about Pacific Rim. I'm not sure myself, but do I think the market there is oversaturated with that kind of stuff. They have all these ridiculous live action versions of mecha anime there already.
Yea a national legend by people living in the hills that dont go to the movies. People in the city dont have time for that corny throwback bullshyt.

That's what they get whitewashing another culture's story. Why would Asian people want to see some white dude fukking all they b*tches, killing all the bad guys and infusing whiteness into one of their most famous legends? :cacbaby:


You could've used this movie to bring in a new Asian star.....the next Jet Li/Jackie Chan (yes i know they're Chinese).....but instead you go with the "half British/half Japanese" angle so you can have a white hero :aiscust:
