I had NO idea that a sequel was happening! So extremely excited to see this! Is there any TCMAist on here that ISN'T going to see this? Two of my favorite MA film stars in it as well. Michelle Yeoh :love: and Donnie Yen! http://us.yhs4.search.yahoo.com/yhs...5_50&os=Windows+10+Home&type=wbf_bimmed_15_50
Yeah been following it closely on Facebook. Mostly Bey Logan pimping it as much as possible. With the odd mention by Donnie (who seems to be more concerned with a certain Sci-fi movie franchise spin-off and ice cream in London). 2 years in the making. Hope it won't disappoint.
I think it's going to be bad. Firstly it's a Netflix movie. Not a huge budget. Secondly, bad director, and bad writer. I smell cash cow with this movie. It will attract an audience because of the name.
I can't comment about the director or writer being bad, but regarding Netflix, a.f.a.i.k. Netflix wasn't involved in the production but just a part of distribution, so there's that. hmm, I'm just reminded that I have only watched the original once just about when it cam out, which is like.. 15 years ago? I think I should watch it again sometime soon.
Harvey Weinstein is one of the two main producers, famous for being a budget artist. Cutting 3-4 hour films into 1.5 hours. And being very stingy with production costs.
