this film is much darker than narnia i know in the script many woman in the kingdom self mutilate their face so the queen wont dare take their hearts and souls

That's pretty dark, but I'm just going by the tone and visual style of the trailer.

I see where you're coming from, but I guess it's hard to care considering it is Twilight.

That's also why they act so terribly. They know a thousand Twitards are going to love it regardless, and they'll get a nice paycheck, and they've done (or so they think) enough other movies to still have possible careers.

The only thing wrong here is that neither of them had absolutely any idea what they were getting into when they signed contracts tying them each to their respective characters for the rest of their lives. Probably longer.

Unless they read the book, which there's a chance they didn't.

In any case, I wouldn't say it's "Oh poor K-Stew and Pattison, chained by the greedy suits!", bullshit, they're enjoying their fat paychecks.

Point taken. Now allow me to retort.

Imagine that it was your face on all those posters and t-shirts. Your pouty, pale face, associated with fucking Edward Cullen for all eternity. Your entire career being spent with that godawful character shackled like a weight around one ankle, and millions of screaming pre-teens hanging from your other ankle.

I could maybe understand this if it was a good character. God knows that it's worked for William Shatner (Cpt. Kirk), Jeff Bridges (The Dude), and even Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter). But no, Robert Pattinson gets stuck with one of the lamest vampires in recent memory. Even after he's dead, that's going to be his legacy.

I ask you: How much money is all of that worth? How many millions would you need as compensation for that fate? Personally, I would pay millions of dollars not to have that happen to me.

I can't believe this shit, CURI IS DEFENDING ROBERT PATTISON

Excuse me Curi if I don't agree with your elaborated, well written retort, I could frankly give two fucks about a guy who is a massive, glutonuos millionaire, for doing his job inadequately, I only saw the first Twilight, but by god was his acting absolutely shit.

I'm really not going to feel pity for a hypocritical spoiled prick whining because he's getting harrassed by teenagers who'll forget him in two years, while making ridiculous amounts of money in the process.

Oh, he's a crappy actor. Don't get me wrong, I've yet to see any reason why I should respect him as an actor. But that wasn't the issue under debate.

Consider that this is a thread about Snow White and the Huntsman. It's a movie that just happens to star Kristen Stewart. And for that, the conversation has devolved into a discussion about Twilight. That's exactly what's going to happen with every movie that Stewart and Pattinson make for the foreseeable future. It may well continue to happen for the rest of their careers. And I feel confident in saying that no matter what happens in the intervening decades, the news of their deaths will be greeted with a universal "Huh. Bella Swan and Edward Cullen are dead."

Obviously we disagree on this, but I personally think that an eternity of being associated with those shitty, shitty roles isn't worth all the millions they get from Twilight. I'm not saying that they're great actors -- far from it -- just that I feel for them over that much.

...Unless they actually read the books ahead of time. In which case -- as you said earlier, feli -- they both got what they asked for.

^you think poor daniel radcliffe is gonna be able to bust out of his harry potter bubble

i dont think so

No, I just hope he does. And to be perfectly honest, I hope the same for Pattinson and Stewart. That doesn't mean I think it's going to happen, but I'd love to be proven wrong.

i think Kristen can because she was mostly an indie actor before twilight and even after twilight

with roles in

Welcome To The Rileys
The runaways
Speak
Fierce People
Into The wild

also the upcoming on the road

I actually think Stewart has a *very* good chance of breaking out, particularly if she can land at least one role that cam prove to audiences that she can actually act. I believe there's a small chance she can. Act, I mean.

Sidebar: saw the trailer in theaters and it looked pretty damn good. But I want to know why I'm seeing tv spots for a movie that comes out June fucking first.

^well i saw a Prometheus tv spot and thats comes out june 8th

also maybe confidence in the film

Literally just saw that a few minutes ago and had the exact same thought. I'm the type who gets burnt out on films with early and heavy promotion: the more I see the ads the more I'll want the movies to be released just so the ads cam stop.

yeah the marketing for this is pretty heavy and i can see why

Snow White is a huge popular fairy tale but it also has a cool gritty LOTR spin on a classic fairy tale to make it stand out and seem fresh while also keeping in tune with a classic tale

features 3 popular lead actors

Charlize Theron is an Oscar winner and quite popular and is the evil queen
freaking THOR as the huntsman
kristen stewart is very popular and she is SW

it already has :

2 Trailers
5 minute Extended Wonder con Preview
5 Behind The Scenes Featurettes - Costumes,Action,The Queen,The Sets,1st Day Of Shooting
i think i counted about 9 posters already
and a tv spot already

epic new tv spot

Bolded things that Prometheus has, it's falling behind!
