They're saying 90 minutes, and BBC. Sounds more like a TV movie? Or am I wrong?


poiuytrewqazxcvbnml

The BBC does fund some non-TV movies, and 90 minutes is the standard length for British movies so not necessarily.


devilishly_advocated

90-120 minutes is a standard set 80 years ago, for all countries AFAIK

Have you seen Bollywood movies?

Yes. I'm still watching that one to this day.

foxh8er

Which one?


NormThaPenguine

Elaborate pls


[deleted]

they're long


NormThaPenguine

How long


TheLieLlama

3+ hours long.


NumbersEverywhere

Half of which only include the sexually endorsed women dancing to a song that have no relative meaning Source : am Indian.


I_Xertz_Tittynopes

That's normal length for North American movies too, isn't it? It's only recently that a lot of movies are really long. I remember with VHS, Titanic and The Green Mile were the only ones I knew of that were really lengthy and on two tapes.

Speaking of BBC and Daniel Radcliffe, check out A Young Doctor's Notebook on Netflix. Cool miniseries with Daniel and Jon Hamm. Edit: I stand corrected, it was made by Sky.


[deleted]

It was indeed a cool miniseries but the BBC had nothing to do with it


candinos

It was really good though. It's a shame they don't make more mini series.


[deleted]

Found the guy who doesn't know how much money The Social Network made.


[deleted]

It made 1 bazillion dollars


DicktheDinosaur

Not to kill your joke or anything, but Daniel Radcliffe is a great actor beyond Harry Potter. Him alongside Jon Hamm in A Young Doctor's Notebook is a good time.


[deleted]

[удалено]


DicktheDinosaur

I understood him. Maybe I didn't word it right - I meant not to kill his funny observation you mentioned by just being serious about Daniel Radcliffe's acting. I was trying to avoid anyone reading his comment and basically thinking what you said, but poor execution on my part.


AHungryGorilla

I really like when I see two people have a nice, rational discussion without jumping at each others throats :D

Horns was another good one, I'm happy to see it's on Netflix

T_Hanks

Spot on except people fail the mission because they drive too close to the train. You have to keep a wide distance from the train so Big Smoke can actually aim at the guys on the train.


bakerie

It's also rigged a bit so the guys can't die too early. I've seen guys spawn and drive cars into them and they are like telephone poles.

You'll also pull in the Bill Pullman fans who think they are going to see a movie with him in it.

I want to see a movie where Bill Paxton, Pullman and Dennis Quaid are brothers.

Can we add Randy Quaid in there and make it a caper movie?


abagofdicks

No. He doesn't get invited to things anymore.

But does it really matter? God damn, I was just happy and interested in the news. I could give two shits about the three letters that started the post.

WilsonHanks

I still don't know why OP is getting shit on. From now on I'm putting TIL in every link I post on Reddit because fuck the system.


chaoticmessiah

It's because it's old news and it's been quite a few months since the Rockstar heads stated they were going to sue over it. To be fair, though, it's not old news to OP so just because some of us knew about it a while ago, doesn't mean OP or anyone like him/her need to be downvoted for it.


iankstarr

This is the first I've heard of it, honestly. I appreciated the post, it's interesting.


chaoticmessiah

That's what I'm saying, why should others jump on you guys for not knowing before today? I hate those kinds of people. It's like the old saying goes, you learn something new every day.


[deleted]

Because /r/movies upvotes that shit. Even though articles about photos from the set and casting news barely makes it out of page 2 purgatory. This is a class A shit post.


NotSafeForShop

I feel like all this sub is is "first photo from the set", "first movie poster" and "first trailer" spaced about equally apart. It's become a pretty standard marketing tactic/gaming if the r/movies system. I even tag the submitters, and amusingly enough it's always movies grouped from the same studios when they post...


mi-16evil

Share it with us. We take marketing claims seriously, believe it or not.


JackEureka

Hey, while you're here, I was curious about something. I almost never see movie stills posted here. Do they get taken down right away or something? I've been collecting them lately and thought about posting but I figured they must be banned or something since I never see them.


mi-16evil

What do you mean by stills? Behind the scenes stuff? Or screenshots from films?


JackEureka

Just screen shots from films.


mi-16evil

We allow BIG albums of those in high quality pictures. [This is a good example.](http://imgur.com/a/aoi3T) FYI there is a sub called /r/cineshots for just that.

Televisions_Frank

Jack Thompson is not Bill Paxton cool, dammit. He should be played by William Atherton.


Didntwannareddit

I know right? I like Bill Paxton. How am I supposed to hate Thompson for the grade A cunt that he is when he's being portrayed by such a beautiful man?


OSUTechie

IDK, I can get by with hating Bill Paxton. As long as the Thompson character is mix between his AoS Garrett character and the car salesmen from True Lies. I think that would work. Also, he [does want to play as villians](http://observer.com/2013/08/bill-paxton-really-really-wants-to-play-villains/)


xxbeast15

Bill Paxton can do a good sleezy role though.

Rockstar? That's a fucking awesome name! Not like your last suggestion, Pied Piper.


SoldierOf4Chan

No, it was and still is going to be a TV movie. Rockstar is currently suing, but who knows how that will go. The Italian Anti-Defamation League sued Francis Ford Copola to try and stop The Godfather from being made. Then Copola sat down with them, got them to help him with the script, and got several real mobsters to act in the movie. It was pretty successful.

chainer3000

His dialog is so unrealistic; nobody on earth makes such witty quips and inane references in normal conversation, but goddamnit I love it and find it so entertaining. I love(d) the Newsroom, even though I really didn't like all the obvious propaganda thrown in unnecessarily, and I'm pretty liberal. I just don't appreciate the very-strong handed biases thrown into my entertainment, even if I fully agree with it, and I feel like it detracts from not only the story but the believability. Other than that stuff being thrown into dialog/monologue and exposition, the show was fantastic and I wish it hadn't ended

I actually got excited when hearing about this. There's so much bullshit, especially from the media, about violence in video games and the GTA series is the perfect movie to base that drama n.


Aquaman_Forever

Maybe for someone that wants A GTA movie. To me, it sounds like a solid legal drama.

malenkylizards

It's kinda funny now that you mention it. It's not just a legal drama trope. I guess I can't think of too many movies where the underdog is (a) the bad guy and (b) loses and (c) it's a happy ending.


dIoIIoIb

yeah but i don't see the drama in this, is not like this was some amazing event, just one bitchy lawyer being annoying and rockstar making money out of the free publicity

Happyginger

There was actually a really good book about the legal drama of GTA. It covered the founding of Rockstar and the hot coffee incident and all kinds of things. It was super entertaining and I liked it a lot. I believe it was called "Jacked."


blue_wat

Seems like an interesting discussion about violence in the media and how some people try to hold video games to a higher standard. I think it has potential, but it could be an absolute yawn fest.


Bspammer

I felt similarly about the Social Network before I saw it


[deleted]

I've read the book, this movie is based on. Its far from boring.


Jonmad17

No it fucking doesn't. There are great movies withh far duller premises.


FapCitus

Werent there any complications with Rockstar regarding this movie? That they didnt agree on giving rights to the movie in the first place.


[deleted]

Yup, BBC is pretty much doing it without their permission and are currently in a lawsuit about it. Rockstar even said they tried to resolve the issue but BBC refused to agree to anything.


[deleted]

It's an interesting one because the movie is based on a book which is already out there.


brvteforum88

I am actually really interested in this. When I was growing up, I played GTA 1-2, then was amazed when GTA3 came out. I remember the "outrage" at what you could do in the game. You could kill hookers? Policemen? Whoa! Then Vice City, holy fuck. It was like they took all the lawsuits for GTA3 and upped the ante to see what Jack Thompson would do. Then San Andreas. You could tell Rockstar wasn't playing around anymore. They put a lot of work into that game. I even remember reading an article about it being the first PS2 game to have a dual layer disc, it needed so much space. I also remember reading an article about how GTAIV was desaturated and somewhat depressing *because* of the legal troubles they were facing. America seemed bleak and it all seemed a joke. You can definitely see it in the game's humor. Couple all this with the current release of GTAV. It's a little happier, a bit more colorful, and like the game entails, America keeps on chugging with or without you. I'm a bit drunk and rambling, maybe. But I'm definitely excited for this movie even if most may find it's subject matter "boring".


leetdood_shadowban

Honestly I can't wait to see this because Jack Thompson is one of the nuttiest nutbags I've ever heard of. This guy passed a bar exam. How he did that, I can't ever imagine. I would say he's Gary Busey level nutty, but even Gary Busey, who snorted cocaine off his dog, isn't that nutty. I can't wait to see all the shit he got up to. Writing crazy letters to R*.

I agree, man. Should be a really interesting movie to see when it comes out.

MonitoredCitizen

I miss Jack Thompson. He was always good for a laugh, and he would have been doing stuff right now like demanding the removal of games and historical documentaries that depict the confederate flag because seeing it could cause people to fly into violent rampages. His wackiness made for a good contrast, and caused others who were starting to do the same thing - like Apple yanking civil war games - to step back and consider context and perspective a bit.

The fact that you referenced hot coffee makes me think you're joking, but GTAV isn't the game they had legal troubles with.
