Trailer (direct linky link):

Am I the only one that thought hey, a Hellboy prequel/Abe Sapien origin story? (judging by the comments on youtube for the trailer, I know I'm not... still just wanted to throw it on here as well)

It definitely looks interesting.

Maria Hill: ...Then aliens invaded New York and were beaten back, by among others, a giant green monster, a costumed hero from the 40's.... and a god.

Grant Ward: I don't think Thor is technically a god.

Maria Hill: Well...you haven't been near his arms.

I know you posted this in July, but I just preordered this today and I totally thought the same thing about Abe Sapien!

(Totally *LOVED* the Hellboy movies and wish they would have made more! The reboot just isn't going to be the same. Also, glad that Doug Jones is FINALLY starting to be recognized and get into high profile stuff like Star Trek: Discovery.

Jemma Simmons: Right? I always think the same thing when I see a movie that was adapted from source material but has been changed so much that it's unrecognizable. Nov 24, 2024 23:08:46 GMT

ayanami: I gotta admit that "World War Z" is an incredibly cool name, but still, seems a bit pricey if you're just gonna ignore the whole rest of the novel.

Nov 24, 2024 23:10:42 GMT

Jemma Simmons: Exactly!

Nov 24, 2024 23:11:32 GMT

ayanami: The book sounds really cool btw. It's about one guy 10 years after the zombie outbreak gathering different perspectives from a bunch of survivors, so you have like a dozen different stories/settings in the novel. Plus, the author is actually Mel Brooks'... Nov 24, 2024 23:12:58 GMT

ayanami: ...son and apparently there's an audio book version of the novel featuring a bunch of Hollywood talents! (Gotta have connections in life!

) Nov 24, 2024 23:13:41 GMT

Jemma Simmons: What?! That's wild! I'll have to check into it! Nov 24, 2024 23:14:18 GMT

Jemma Simmons: Sounds way more interesting than the movie, anyway! Nov 24, 2024 23:14:32 GMT

Jemma Simmons: Oh, just FYI, next weekend is a holiday weekend here, so I won't be able to be around.

Nov 24, 2024 23:15:41 GMT

ayanami: Absolutely! Which makes it even more bewildering that they went with such a lame clichéd Hollywood story instead. Which, btw, is actually getting a sequel next year. Who'd have thunk it?! Nov 24, 2024 23:17:08 GMT

ayanami: Ah, alright, thanks for the heads up. Nov 24, 2024 23:18:07 GMT

Jemma Simmons: Yeah, that's something I've noticed lately too. Why the sudden need for sequels for 20-30 year old movies? Most of the time they're crap and I'd definitely rather see new material. Nov 24, 2024 23:20:11 GMT

ayanami: I think I'm gotta call it a night now, though. I've got kind of an early morning coming up tomorrow and it's getting late over here. Nov 24, 2024 23:20:18 GMT

Jemma Simmons: Alrighty! You have a good couple of weeks then!

I'll be spending next weekend with some family I like and trying to avoid any remotely controversial conversations with others that I spend the rest of the year avoiding

Nov 24, 2024 23:21:10 GMT

ayanami: Tbf, World War Z is "only" from 2013, but yeah, I get your drift. Answer: Hollywood producers are all a bunch of chicken sh*ts, who only want to invest money into stuff with a recognisable name and a good track record, so only sequels, prequels and reboots Nov 24, 2024 23:22:41 GMT

ayanami: From now until eternity!

Nov 24, 2024 23:22:53 GMT

Jemma Simmons: Heh, yeah that sounds about right! Nov 24, 2024 23:23:16 GMT

Jemma Simmons: I will make an exception for the new Gladiator movie. I've heard it's actually pretty good! Nov 24, 2024 23:23:33 GMT

ayanami: Yeah, I hope you have a fun few weeks and a nice family time. And don't choke on the turkey! I'll see you around, bosslady!

Jemma Simmons: Just wanted to wish a Happy Thanksgiving for those who celebrate! Nov 27, 2024 22:49:10 GMT
