Har folket begynt å "planlegge" hvilke filmer de skal se i (rom)jula da?

 

Først og fremst skal jeg få sett The Polar Express. Kjøpte den før forrige jul, men klarte ikke å få tid til den. Ellers har jeg en god del andre filmer som ligger i senga hjemme, ventende på at jeg skal få perm, som jeg må få med meg. I Claudius (mini-serien), The Fountain, Punch Drunk Love, Plastposen (lenge siden sist nå!), PotC 3, Harry Potter (den siste, vet da faen hvilket nummer det er), Children of Men... huff, jeg har ikke sjangs til å få sett dem alle.

 

Dessuten fyrer jeg nok opp noen klassikere som jeg alltid får med meg i jula (Flåklypa, Olsenbanden, osv), og en eller annen serie blir sikkert å kjøre i bakgrunnen til enhver tid.

 

...Denne jula blir i allefall firkantet.

Big gun fikk nesten en ny mening. Gleder meg til oppfølgeren av en av de mest undervurderte superheltfilmene som er laget. Visuelt sett imponerte Guillermo del Toro mer med Hellboy enn med El Laberinto del fauno. Eneste som ødela litt for Hellboy var en slutt som var over-the top.

Jeg skal helt klart se I Am Legend. Den 26 desember kommer vel den ut. Ellers så har jeg ikke noe spesielle planer for jule filmer,tar det bare som det kommer.

Hellboy var helt klart en dødskul film. Gleder meg stort til oppfølgeren =)

Noen som gleder seg til Rambo 4 da? Jeg gleder meg stort, selv om Stallone begynner og dra på åra nå ^^ Hørte at han ble tatt for steroider når han skulle trene seg opp igjen når han skulle filme Rocky Balboa eller Rambo 4, husker ikke helt.

 

Jeg tror det blir bra med action, historien blir sikkert ikke like bra men :/

 

[Xtra]

Filmer som er aktuell for kino i løpet av "julen": Jeg skal se Beowulf og Arn, ellers står The Golden Compass og My Blueberry Nights på kanskje-listen.

 

Aleks: Dette er ikke bevist, men han ble tatt i tollen i Australia (?) med veksthormoner, så jeg tror han fikk i seg noe annet enn bare "vanlig" mat.

Filmer jeg skal se i julen.. Hmm.. Regner med det blir de tradisjonelle Die Hard, Home Alone, Flåklypa osv

[Rabbid]

Er det bare jeg som synes Home Alone er noe av det verste de har sett?

 

Guttungen er jo elendig skuespiller.

Greit det, men jeg har jo sett det siden jeg var liten gutt, og syntes enda det er hysterisk morsomt

[Manx]

Er det bare jeg som synes Home Alone er noe av det verste de har sett?

 

Guttungen er jo elendig skuespiller.

 

Man ser jo ikke filmen på grunn av Macaulay Culkin, man ser jo Home Alone på grunn av Joe Pesci og Daniel Stern som får gjennom gå litt i de to første filmene. De to er i hvertfall grunnen for at jeg nå og da kjører i gang filmene.

 

Edit:

 

Jeg synes faktisk filmene (1 & 2) er bedre nå enn når jeg så dem på kino når de kom for 17 år siden

 

Edit 2:

 

= begynner å bli gammel...

Home Alone er et must i julen.

 

Det samme med Die Hard, men har jo sett den filmen tre ganger allerede i år. Så jeg tror heller jeg kjører på med Die Hard 2. Så må jeg finne frem noen av de heller middelmådige julekomediene, om ikke annet så på grunn av sjarmen ^^

Artikkel om Bruce Lee's karriere post-1973...what could've been :

 

The Shrine of Ultimate Bliss was a Hong Kong based film production which was produced by Raymond Chow.

 

The film was released in 1974.

 

It was originally scheduled to be Bruce Lee's next film after Game of Death 1978.

 

However Lee died while filming Game of Death in 1973 and that film's release date was delayed by 5 years.

 

Originally, The Shrine of Ultimate Bliss was to star not only Lee, but also Japanese film star Sonny Chiba as well.

 

The film was to pit Lee against "The Western Adversary" played by James Bond star George Lazenby.

 

Lazenby had been signed to a multi-picture deal by Lee and Chow during Game of Death and was to star in that film, as well as 2 subsequent films with Lee.

 

The film's original tagline was It's Lee! It's Lazenby! It's Bruce Versus Bond!

Warner Brothers was going to co-produce and distribute the film before Lee's sudden death and was going to give The Shrine of Ultimate Bliss a large worldwide release, a $10,000,000 production budget and a $10,000,000 worldwide marketing budget (which was astronomical at that time - as a comparison the 1974 James Bond film The Man With The Golden Gun also a 1974 release had only a $7,000,000 production budget and a $6,000,000 worldwide marketing budget).

 

Forecasts for The Shrine of Ultimate Bliss' worldwide box office gross were around $400,000,000. This based on Lee's previous two films.

 

Enter the Dragon 1973 cost just $850,000 to produce and also had a $10,000,000 worldwide marketing budget, and in turn it grossed more than $265,000,000 worldwide at the box office (through 2006), making it the 2nd highest grossing movie worldwide of the year 1973, behind The Exorcist.

 

Enter the Dragon grossed more than $21,000,000 in the US just in 1973 alone and more than $4,000,000 in the US in 1974.

 

Through 2006 the film has grossed more than $115,000,000 in the US alone. It grossed more than $65,000,000 overseas through 1973, and more than $90,000,000 overseas through 1974.

 

Through 2006 it has grossed more than $150,000,000 overseas.

 

Lee's film prior to Enter the Dragon, Way of the Dragon 1973, had cost just $130,000 to produce and about $1,000,000 to market worldwide and it in turn grossed more than $85,000,000 worldwide at the box office, which made it the 6th highest grossing film worldwide of 1973.

 

So considering that Way of the Dragon grossed more than $85,000,000 at the box office worldwide with just a $130,000 production budget/$1,000,000 marketing budget, and that Enter the Dragon grossed more than $265,000,000 at the box office worldwide with just an $850,000 production budget/$10,000,000 marketing budget, then it isn't too far fetched to realize Warner Brother's $400 million gross prediction for Shrine with its $20,000,000 total cost in production and marketing, as well as Lazenby and Chiba joining Lee in the cast.

 

Interestingly enough, George Lazenby had said that one of the main reasons that he quit the role of Bond was because he felt that he could gross more at the box office in other films.

 

The Bond film The Man With The Golden Gun 1974, ended up grossing $97,600,000 worldwide, so if not for Lee's sudden death, Lazenby's quite bold and now rather infamous prediction may have come true.

 

When Lee died the film's destiny took a turn for the worst.

 

First, Lee, who may have been the biggest star in the world at the time the film was to be shot, was now not going to be in the film.

 

Second, upon hearing of Lee's death, Chiba refused to sign his contract for the film and promptly flew back to Japan.

 

Third, Lee's death brought terrible press, especially since the film's other star Lazenby was supposed to have dinner with Lee the very night he died.

 

Fourth, Warner Brothers then dropped out and the film lost its large worldwide theatrical distribution.

 

And finally, because of all of this Raymond Chow cut the film's production budget from $10,000,000 to $850,000 and severely cut the marketing budget to cover the film's new small theatrical release.

 

Although this was still an enormous production budget for a Hong Kong based film at that time, and actually matched Enter the Dragon as the most expensive martial arts film of all time at that point, the huge cut in marketing and loss of worldwide distribution greatly hurt the film's box office.

 

Despite this the film still featured former 007 Lazenby, whom despite being tabbed by the press as a "failed Bond financially," had still nonetheless grossed well over $100 million worldwide at the box office in the early 1970s, as his Bond film On Her Majesty's Secret Service 1969 had grossed $87,400,000 worldwide through 1970, and his subsequent two films Universal Soldier (1971 film) 1971 and Who Saw Her Die? 1972 had pushed him over the $100 million mark at the box office, which at that time established actor's as international super stars.

 

Even though Lazenby never got that label in the US or UK from the press, in reality it was true as he had tremendous box office success in Europe, Asia, and Australia (he actually outgrossed Steve McQueen in that time as just one example.

 

So the film still had Chow's studio behind it, a big international star, and a large budget for a martial arts film.

 

To try and keep the success of Lee's films going, Chow added in Asian stars Angela Mao, Betty Ting Pei, and Sammo Hung and also well-known Australian wrestler Roger Ward to the film's cast along with Lazenby.

 

In addition to this he also enlisted rival studio Shaw Brothers run by Run Run Shaw as another producer to help pay for the film's huge production cost based on Hong Kong film industry standards.

 

Chow also kept producer Andre Morgan onboard as he had helped with Lee's films and this would help to bring video revenue years later.

 

In the end, The Shrine of Ultimate Bliss turned out to be one of the better martial arts films of the 1970s, not on par with Lee's films, but Lazenby's 3 films in the genre for Chow's Golden Harvest studios are probably the second best in the genre of that era after Lee's.

 

Although without Lee and a large international release Shrine obviously fell short of the box office of Lee's previous 2 films. Nonetheless, The Shrine of Ultimate Bliss was very successful financially.

 

No terms of what the film grossed worldwide were ever released by Golden Harvest or Run Run, but some journalist's estimates put it as high as $25 million worldwide, with another $10-$15 million worldwide in video revenue later on in the 1980s.

 

Considering the film's cost and the fact that its initial theatrical release was very limited by number of countries and screens, that was an astonishing feat.

 

Whether the film actually took in around $25,000,000 worldwide at the box office (about $103,000,000 in today's money) is debatable, but what is not debatable is that within just 2 months of the film's release in Hong Kong, large production studios from both the UK and Australia were already in negotiation with Chow to co-produce Lazenby's next martial arts film, The Man From Hong Kong 1975, which Chow had already approved at the highest budget ever for a Hong Kong film or martial arts film, surpassing the previous record held by Enter the Dragon and Shrine.

 

In fact, one UK production company wanted to co-produce Lazenby's next 2 films, just 2 months after Shrine's release.

 

The Man From Hong Kong and A Queen's Ransom 1976, which was Lazenby's third Golden Harvest film were then both given large scale international theatrical releases, and Man From Hong Kong even had a wide US release the same year it was released in Hong Kong, something only Hong Kong films starring Bruce Lee had previously accomplished.

 

So although The Shrine of Ultimate Bliss never turned out to be what it could have, it still was remarkably successful and it still holds firm as one of the all-time classic 1970s martial arts flicks.

 

On a side-note, Lazenby was reportedly paid (according to the Hong Kong and Australian presses at the time) $220,000 USD to make The Shrine of Ultimate Bliss.

 

The $10,000 USD figure that imdb.com lists was actually his salary per week. Lazenby was paid $10,000 US per week for his acting, plus $1,000 US per week for expenses for a total of $11,000 US per week for each of his 3 Golden Harvest films.

 

Each film covered about 20 weeks worth of work, so Lazenby earned $220,000 US per film.

 

Only Bruce Lee commanded more in Hong Kong, earning $12,500 ($1,000 of it for living expenses) per week.

 

After Lee died, Lazenby was the highest paid actor in Hong Kong for the next 3 years, with his $11,000 per week salary.

 

The next highest paid actor in Hong Kong was Lazenby's co-star in The Man From Hong Kong and A Queen's Ransom, actor Jimmy Wang Yu, who earned a total salary of just $2,500 per week.

 

(Enter the Dragon 1973 cost just $850,000....tror det var nærmere 650k , til sammenligning kostet Big Boss bare 90k...ikke rare greiene lol)
