Fear Net:
Guillermo Del Toro's always got quite a few projects in development. And these days it seems two words can best describe those projects: big and monstrous. Del Toro is busy readying his giant monster movie Pacific Rim, while at the same time preparing (with Battlestar Galactica producer David Eick) his take on Marvel Comics' emerald behemoth, The Hulk, which will mark the big green giant's return to the medium with which many still associate him -- TV. I caught up with Del Toro today while he was promoting Don't Be Afraid of the Dark, due out in August, and made sure to ask him about the status of Pacific Rim and Hulk.
Back in Action Review: All in all, this movie is a somewhat disappointingly missed opportunity that never really capitalises on its potential, leaving the viewer with little to remember when the credits roll.
The latest Star Wars live-action series has wrapped up and the nerds at RPadTV are here to have a nerdy discussion about Star Wars: Skeleton Crew. Joining host Raymond Padilla are videogame journalist Paul Semel and Turtle Beach’s MacLean Marshall. The three will discuss what they liked and didn’t like about Star Wars: Skeleton Crew in a review video full of treasure, whimsy, and mayhem (or maybe two of those things).
Discussion topics include what the three thought about the mystery of At Attin, comparisons to The Goonies, how the show fits in with other Star Wars projects, the child actors, Jude Law’s mysterious character, and why the show resonates with some fans while leaving others flat.
Lovers Anonymous Review: This series reminds us that every concept—even one as extraordinary as this—requires a great story to really connect.
I'll say the same thing now as when they first announced this...I'm worried. With all of the other Marvel characters out there, why would they go back to The Hulk for a TV show? I mean, especially now that he's got a movie out, and is supposed to be officially part of the timeline they've established for the movies and The Avengers. Now this show is going to take him out of that timeline for the movies (Del Toro has said that), which just seems odd, considering all they've done to put that together.
I used to like the old tv show of the Hulk. It would be nice if they would do something that would work but these days you never know. They really do have too much going on.
Guillermo Del Toro is the man.
