shai Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Somehow I can't see Spike Jonze directing this. It seems more like a Tim Burton movie. I agree with christo-f...if he tries to make it too cute it won't work. Whatever, he's a good director. I'm sure it will be well done regardless of the tone.

LIVERWURST* Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Also, it's co-written by Spike Jonze and Dave Eggers; Eggers also wrote A Heartbreaking Work Of Staggering Genius, which is easily one of the best books I've ever read, hands down. My first thought was that the book might take 10 minutes to read, so the movie is going to have to do a lot to stretch itself out to feature length. Hearing Eggers is hooked up with the project gives it a lot of promise... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shai Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Dave Eggers is great. He owns a pirate themed store in SF with a writing workshop in the back. I can definitely see him expanding on this story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with christo-f...if he tries to make it too cute it won't work. I think the fact that spike jonze fought to avoid watering down the movie is a good sign. I gotta disagree with you on Tim Burton however. I love alot of what the guys done in the past, but its simply gotten to the point where he cant make anything other than a "Tim Burton Movie", ya feel me? theres a visual identity to all his stuff that would overshadow the story.

And Johnny Depp would have to be in it. :) Just thinking out loud. I think Tim Burton's style would suit the story well, but I'm interested to see what Spike Jonze and Dave Egger will come up with.

Ski Mask Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 definately. I kinda groaned when I heard they were making a movie of it, but even the rough test shots look fantastic and I think its really got the potential to not suck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KM4RT Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 I always get Spike Lee, Spike Jones, and Spike Jonze confused. Usually I have to Google it. One of them is black. And I never mention them in conversation, because I get them mixed up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harvey Wallbanger Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 i love the girl video he made. koston's part was awesome and the invisible skateboards were pretty tight, He actually made all of the old Girl videos, as well as the Chocolate video. That and some music videos (like Sabotage) are what put him on the map. But yeah, it was cool when he came back and applied some of the shit he learned making features to a skate video. The ultra slow motion shit at the opening is fucking incredible. Incidentally, I heard that Scarlet Johannson's husband in Lost In Translation was based on him, and that the whole movie was kind of about the end of Sofia Coppola's relationship with him.

serum Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 yeah i thought that it was strange that YEAH RIGHT was advertised as spike jonze takes a shot at skateboard videos. thats how i knew of him, that and i think he also put jason lee on the map.

Elizabeth MontgomeryOner Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 I read that during test screenings, kids rejected the movie cause it was so dark, which made the studio threaten a whole reshoot, which made Spike Jonze threaten to quit. Not sure what the outcome was. Yeah what parklife said whose knows what they're doing with the movie now, pussy ass kids can't take a little darkness what was the studio expecting? a happy kiddy film for a slight dark over toned book hollywood:rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
