Blood & Chocolate
Zitat von maestro am 24 Januar, 2007, 1232 UhrIs the cheesy title of a new movie by the "Underworld" producers - this time it's about werewolves and, according to their myspace page, the premise is
"Blood and Chocolate" stars Agnes Bruckner ("24"), Hugh Dancy ("Basic Instinct 2,") and Olivier Martinez ("Taking Lives") and is directed by German independent film director Katja von Garnier ("Bandits"). The story takes place in modern day Bucharest and tells the tale of nineteen year old Vivian Gandillon (Bruckner), who has spent her life on the run from the truth.... that she is a werewolf. When her affections for a visiting American artist threaten to expose her family's secret society, she must choose between her love for an outsider and betraying the secret vows of her family.

What have i become :?
Anyway, the whole thing with the dramatical fight between good and evil seems to have been buried under a heap of unnecessary emotional bull shit yet again. Or maybe i'm the only one finding stories like "couple falls in love but fate endagers their luck through letting one partner be something totally frigging stupid" rather dull after seeing like ten thousand variations of it?
So as there's not even a leathered up Kate Beckinsale in sight later trailers better give some very good reasons for me to throw my eyes at the movie - and a dramatical voice telling about the woe of werewolves surely doesn't cut it.

Zitat von withdrawalfx am 24 Januar, 2007, 1347 Uhrsaw a trailer a few days ago. I wasn't impressed.
seemed quite boring. Like a chickflick with wolves (yeah, the werewolves look like ordinary wolves, what's up with that?)I'll wait for the reviews before judging the whole thing as BS, but I'm not having any high hopes here :?

Zitat von vincent_the_red am 25 Januar, 2007, 0105 UhrI am so pleased that someone brought this travesty of a movie into a forum topic.....
The movie that you have heard about is loosely related to a very good book for young adults called (as you may have guessed) Blood and Chocolate by an author named Annette Curtis Klause. This book, along with another of her books, dealing with Vampires, The Silver Kiss, were among my favorite books during high school. Blood and Chocolate was a book that I had always hoped would have been made into a movie, but done properly. In other words, following the book as closely as possible, without taking as many "artistic liberties" as modern Hollywood is so apt to do. Sadly, as with most of my hopes for books turned into movies, this movie completely decimates the quite decent storyline of a teenage female loup garou and her Pack having to deal with living in a world of intolerant and fearful humans, as well as her falling for one and having to deal with the inevitable consequences. All this movie seems to take from the book is character names, and the ill-fated love of a werewolf and a human. Please, if any of you have any remote interest in this movie, read the book first. You'll quickly understand my anger, and my desire to slit the throats of the screenwriter for this movie, and the people who approved this movie for production, if I happen to meet them in a dark, deserted alley.....

Here's your soapbox back, Sunrava. :P

Zitat von robc666 am 25 Januar, 2007, 0956 UhrI must admit, it does look pretty terrible.
I have'nt read the book but it's normally the case: There's a book you love, hollywood get their grubby mits on it, and it turns to shit. Point in case - The Night Flyer by S King.Still, i'm not one to judge something before seeing it for myself, so i'll be buying it on pirate DVD so as to happily cheat the producers of my hard earned money just in case it does turn out to be shit, call it pay back for stealing a few hours of my life that i'll never get back.

Zitat von robc666 am 18 Februar, 2007, 1416 UhrThe title makes it sound like a Milk Tray add. "And all becasue they lady loves Choclate nad Blood". Or better yet, it sounds like a brand of choclate made just for goths.
