I don't see why they wouldn't be in some odd way...its the same universe....you see Clyde from GTA 3 in San Andreas
 
I love this notion that "It can't be Tommy, he would be 60!" When we have Liam Neeson running around punching wolves in the snow in movies.

Anyway, anyone watch the Captain America special features? I saw something that I saw was worth investigating. In some of the featurettes specifically the Red Skull one they talk to the Visual supervisor and he's showing you how they did certain effects. On the wall behind him, there's a blurred out drawing that is a big orange body and what seems like blue shorts. I'll try to get a screencap to show you guys.
 
Indeed. It was interesting to me because nothing else was blurred out on that wall except for that so it's obviously something Marvel/Paramount/Disney don't want you to see.

Tommy was awesome. He rocked the hell out of those Hawaiian shirts. :o

I suppose it will be someone new. The fact that he talks about wanting to get out of his line of work suggests a criminal past, though, so it'd be kind of neat if they tied that past to one of the previous games, i.e. Tommy trying to escape the cops in Vice City by moving to Las Venturas.

He's a proctologist at a leper colony...
 
Haha that Liam Neeson picture is great. :) And yeah Skyrim comes 11.11.2011, sametime as Immortals movie comes, i hope that one is good.
 
Didn't realize Liam had played so many badass characters. I still need to see Rob Roy.
 
koreans know how to clean up fallen leaves. they say **** your leaf blower and bring a bulldozer. true story
 
:up:

I love that film but I had no idea that was Liam Neeson

That just makes it even more epic
 
So, it looks like this is a pretty good place to go and ******** from what I've seen popping in and out. Much better than that other lounge in the community place. I think I'm going to come in here and ******** around with you guys.

So, to jump start things, I'll agree that Liam Neeson is awesome. I also had totally forgotten that he was Darkman. I imagine Liam Neeson is probably something akin to what Finn from Adventure Time will grow up to be.
 
Oh snap, that is true. Damn, Liam is one sneakly pop culture bastard
 
Damn Universial studios head honcho just dropped some knowledge

Universal Studios' Head Honcho Ron Meyer, “We make a lot of s***** movies."
His personal and therefore Universal's stance on 3-D:
"I’m not a believer that every film should be 3-D,” said Meyer, acknowledging his own fiscal concern over Universal’s expensive upcoming 3-D film 47 Ronin, led by Keanu Reeves. “I think there’s a place for it; I think certain films lend themselves to it. Warner Bros. did Journey to the Center of the Earth; that movie would have never worked had it not been 3-D. The only thing that made that film palatable at all was the 3-D aspect.”

“None of us would be able to do, or afford, what Jim Cameron was able to do with Avatar,” Meyer continued. “Avatar was everything money could buy, and we can’t afford to be in that business. He spent a lot of money, he did a brilliant job… you were inside that movie, and that’s what made it work. You were surrounded by that film. I think 3-D has a limited capacity, but a capacity. I don’t think all films should be 3-D and we should be careful about falling for that.”

On the well-publicized financial disappointments Scott Pilgrim, Land of the Lost, and Cowboys & Aliens?
Movieline put the question to Meyer: Why did the aforementioned Universal event films fail?

“Cowboys & Aliens wasn’t good enough. Forget all the smart people involved in it, it wasn’t good enough,” Meyer said, without pause. “All those little creatures bouncing around were terrible. I think it was a mediocre movie, and we all did a mediocre job with it.”

“Land of the Lost was just awful,” he continued. “I mean, there was no excuse for it. The best intentions all went wrong.”

“Scott Pilgrim, I think, was actually kind of a good movie. [Addressing a small section of the audience, cheering.] But none of you guys went! And you didn’t tell your friends to go! But, you know, it happens.”

“Cowboys & Aliens didn’t deserve better. Land of the Lost didn’t deserve better. Scott Pilgrim did deserve better, but it just didn’t capture enough of the imaginations of people, and it was one of those things where it didn’t cost a lot so it wasn’t a big loss. Cowboys & Aliens was a big loss, and Land of the Lost was a huge loss. We misfired. We were wrong. We did it badly, and I think we’re all guilty of it. I have to take first responsibility because I’m part of it, but we all did a mediocre job and we paid the price for it. It happens. They’re talented people. Certainly you couldn’t have more talented people involved in Cowboys & Aliens, but it took, you know, ten smart and talented people to come up with a mediocre movie. It just happens.”

The Wolfman producer Stratton Leopold, who happens to be a Savannah native, showed up to wrap the chat.

Leopold, amiably introducing himself: “I’m Stratton Leopold…”

Meyer, good naturedly: “It’s one of those movies, the moment I saw it I thought, ‘What have we all done here?’ That movie was crappy.”

Leopold: “I said the same thing before the reshoot. I said, ‘Why are we spending all of this? Let’s shoot two scenes to create some sympathy for the [hero] and that’s it,’ but…”

Meyer: “We all went wrong. It was one of those things… like I said, we make a lot of bad movies. That’s one we should have smelled out a long time ago. It was wrong. The script never got right…”

Leopold: “The cast -”

Meyer: “—was awful. The director was wrong. Benicio [del Toro] stunk. It all stunk.”

Got to say I agree.

I watched Wolfman the directors cut the other night and it was meh. I don't know who's idea it was to cast Benicio Del Toro in a Gothic England Werewolf movie. Del Toro is a great actor but I don't think this was a good role for him.

Anthony Hopkins was a bit hammy as well. He was good in Thor but some recent stuff like The Rite his been rather hammy in as of late.

Scott Pilgrim was an aquired taste film but it deserved to do better than it did. It will probably end up a cult movie though.

I like this new honest in Hollywood execs lately. Between the producer of all the Batman movies Micheal Ulsan saying Batman & Robin was the TV series Redux and Walt Disney Animation Studios chief technical officer Andy Hendrickson saying "People say 'It's all about the story. When you're making tentpole films, bull****". Alice in Wonderland's story isn't very good, but visual spectacle brought people in droves. And Johnny Depp didn't hurt."
 
I'm still surprised at how much I liked the Scott Pilgrim movie.
