Have you seen the trailer yet? Seems like a crazy off the wall premise but after that trailer I am interested in how it will be now. Especially with Tim Burton as the producer of it, this could turn out to be pretty good. How do you think this movie will be?



Saw it on Attack of the Show. Trailer on page:

I thought it sounded stupid, but after seeing the trailer it looks really good and Tim Burton producing is a bonus.

Well, Like I've been saying, Tim Burton needs to make up for that atrocious piece of garbage that was Alice in Wonderland.

Also, I'm still wondering where Iron Sky went!

Tim Burton's last efforts I felt were really lackluster and while I am not generally fond of the idea behind this one, I very well may see it merely for general intrigue.

Alice was bad, but Sweeney Todd was a masterpiece! One of Tim Burton's best.

Alice was really that bad? I thought it was good, but not great or spectacular. Johnny Depp is in a lot of Burton movies though. Vampire Hunter should fun. It would be funny if it was based on a hiddent secret true story.

I usually like movies based on silly ideas, but something tells me this movie will suck.

Yep I saw a the standee for this movie in my local theatre and I thought the premise was absolutely terrible, so I assume the movie is trying to cash in on it's ridiculouslness in the same manner that Snakes on Plane performed. However I didn't know that Tim Burton was attached, and that that kinda piqued my interest a little. This movie could be either really bad as lot of people would presume or a smash hit, hopefully the latter.

To be fair, I think this movie is based off of the book, which isn't a comedy but just a kind of science fiction/fantasy rooted in history. Kind of makes me think that the writer was thinking "What if so and so really did this..." and kind of went in that direction. In it's own right it takes itself seriously, if that makes sense?

The trailer definitely piqued my interest and I think if it's done well, it could be really good. If people can get past the title and how ridiculous I guess it sounds to them, there's probably more to it than meets the eye.

If nothing else, visually it should be a treat for sure!

Here's Official Trailer 2 for the movie:


The new trailer looks great with lots of action. Also Lincoln's special Axe near the end was kind of cool.

[SeveranceZero]

I mean, like I said before people just need to get past the part where it deals with Abe Lincoln, to compare it on any level to the value of Snakes on a Plane is a bit unfair. Snakes is supposed to be ridiculous and over the top - dumb...This movie I believe is supposed to be serious, just a cool spin on a historical figure or so I've been told. I mean if the movie ends up being garbage than by all means, don't watch it! But at least wait till some reviews are out that confirm/deny your feelings of the movie.

Also, just wanted to point out that I am no way a fan of this film, it just looks interesting to me. I just never really understood why people are so quick to judge something from just the title or because it takes a different spin on an idea or event/series of events. I guess another similar thing is the flack "Cowboys and Aliens" received, solely based on the title. I remember when I was in the theater and people were kind of cheering or going "woohoo" through the trailer...then the title popped up and literally half the theater burst out into laughter. Granted that movie wasn't really that great but that's a separate issue.

Seems like half the time people complain because "Hollywood" just does remakes/garbage popcorn action flicks and what not. Then when they go and do something more creative people go "Omg this is dumb!!? Why?!, Stick to making good stuff Hollywood". So what exactly do people want

I mean even the movie the Raven is getting flack because "Poe never hunted serial killers, this is blasphemy on his name and tarnishes who he was, garbage!"

/end rant...sorry >.<
