Well we can't know anything about BO now, it's all about the movie as a piece of art/story/acting. BO it's one of the last things we'll know about. Personally I'm not even interested in it, of course it's important for the industry but I don't think TLBO is going to be the classic successful movie at the BO. It's another kind of movie..Maybe AC.
Btw super glad of those reviews too
God, I have high hopes for Submergence but Split looks like a hot mess tbh
They may very well do so. I have very conflicted thoughts on Split, but that's mainly due to Shyamalan's directing and the execution of his films. I can see why James took the part, however. Submergence may actually turn out to be good, but I can't really tell for certain since very little information has been released about it aside from the plot summary and pictures of them filming. There's also The Coldest City, which may be a success for him, too.
I LOVED him in Filth!!! I think his downfall was picking the wrong projects when he was on top and now he just doesn't get a chance to select the best projects. A cautionary tale.
Lord have mercy on us all. Most of all on Fassbender who is no Van Gogh and actually needs to sell the product he makes in order to succeed in the profession of his choosing.
Forgot about the coldest city! I am a fan of the period war drama genre so will have to watch that. 2017 is going to be a busy year for James.
The irony! Vincent wasn't rated very highly in his lifetime by those with the cash! Lol
I think the trailer gave away too much to where I can predict what is going to happen in the movie. I am keeping my hopes up but will wait until the reviews come out to go watch it in theaters. I think submergence is going to be a good movie too
I thought he was fantastic in it, but the story as a whole was messy for me. It was a good role for him to pick, however. Agreed on the rest of your comment.
I haven't watched enough Shyamalan movies to know what his twists are, but unless there's some kind of supernatural power involved the whole plot is ableist as hell. Guy with DID=psychotic and dangerous is a 1950s plot, not a movie that should be made in 2016. What's your theory from the trailer?
Vincent Van Gogh was thought to have suffered from a myriad of mental and general health problems including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder and documented psychotic breaks. When he started painting more, he was mostly solitary and preferred it that way. I think I read somewhere that his most famous paintings were his way of coping with the loneliness and his health issues. He eventually committed suicide at the age of 37. If he had lived longer and been in better mental and physical health, he might have seen more success of his work while alive.
Yes, this is how I feel about the Shyamalan film. James looks great in the trailer, but I can't trust Shyamalan at all. The release date doesn't inspire confidence either.
Does James McAvoy have his own thread here?
