I'm going again this Sat with my MIL, SIL and maybe BIL...so we'll help lolsoozabooza54 wrote:That's totally not realistic though as far as budget goes. The budget for Narnia was 180mil. 180 MIL. Holy crap, that's a lot of money. That's, what, over four times what Twilight had. So... although there are SOOOO many more special effects in Narnia and all that, I still think that it's an unrealistic expectation to get the Aslan thing. But seirously... they should look into it and make it work.
Another thing I found that I think is interesting... Twilight is up to 90mil worldwide, 80mil of that from the US alone. Monday was its worst day so far for earnings (only 4.5 mil... and putting "only" in front of 4.5 mil makes me want to vomit cuz that's so much money. ha.), but it was up to 6mil yesterday! Let's all try to go again this weekend and keep it #1 for Thanksgiving!

Yeah, you're right..the fact is I keep forgetting how much he grew up since he made "About a boy" with Hugh Grant. He would have been perfect thendebussygirl wrote:Too old.

But he does look like he could play someone from the Volturi, Felix maybe?
I wouldn't worry so much about weekdays since no one really goes to see movies on a Monday.soozabooza54 wrote:That's totally not realistic though as far as budget goes.

I remember hearing that the people that did the sparkling effect were Industrial Light and Magic, so I'm thinking that they really didn't skimp on the effect for the sparkling -- that's a pretty big company. Personally, I didn't mind the sparkling, it was the gosh-awful sound effect they played when he sparkled -- it made me want to laugh -- oh, that's right -- I DID laugh!!switzgal wrote:The wolves are a concern. I think Catherine has her group of guys she likes to work with too.. that being the same guys that did that sparkling effect?! Yeah... not so much!
Anyway, I just hope they know what they're doing and that Summit insist on a better product considering that this saga can really escalate their small studio!!!
I think most studios have staff that look and read what the reviews and what the fans want etc. I hope so anyway. Their business is to entertain and get the most $$$ from happy fans!! So I hope Summit, Catherine, Melissa and SM are all on the same page with New Moon!!!
