I'm making this post to bring attention to original movies being released that people here might not have heard about. If it's recieved well, perhaps I'll make this a weekly series of posts about originals being released.
Okay, technically, A Working Man is based on a book, but for all intents and purposes, it's original.
If you told me that these posters were parody artwork I would belive you.
Original movies come out all the time. Any given week, if you look up what's currently playing, there are some original movies. I'm so sick of people constantly complaining there's nothing original because they'd know about all the original movies coming out if they actually cared. It's like hearing someone complain there's nowhere to buy groceries while on a street with three grocery stores.
nobody advertising originals means nobody will see them since they might sa well not exist. Not everyones browser home page is the imdb released today list. Basically nobodies is. Most people are casual viewers. I'd say its very good casual viewer is getting exhausted of capeshit or sequels and wants something new. Unless you want only films people see to be disney cashgrabs or marvel copy pastes, I don't see why you complain people bringing attention to different films, especially ones not from hollywood.
I'm not complaining about bringing attention to original films. I'm just saying if all the people whining "there's nothing original" actually wanted original, they'd bother to look up what's playing
If A Working Man is based on a book, you can't really call it original. It's also another Statham action movie, which also can't really be called original.
I am excited to see Death of a Unicorn.
A Working Man has Jason Statham. Is it original if heβs just the same character in every movie?
Working Man is technically original but its also Jason Statham shooting a million dudes while acting like Billy Badass so its kinda just derivative of all his other movies.
Jason Statham is like his own IP now, similar to superhero or star wars movies. Should we call it the "Jason Statham universe"?
Sounds VERY original.
He had all kinds of jobs. First a transporter, a mechanic and then a bee keeper.
And an extensive military career as a highly trained operative in every private and government special program.
*except Spy
And Snatch
I once jumped a car onto a moving train while on fire
It looks like a carbon copy of Bee Keeper
"I just want to do my job" -Jason Statham in Transporter/Beekeeper/Working Man
He's like the AC/DC of acting: you know exactly what you're getting each time.
You see Statham on the poster, you know exactly what you are getting.
Oi, I'm from fackin landan you, cant. jump kick to the head
So aufentic it makes me omesick, innit?
And we love to see it!
I was not overly excited by the trailer for "... Unicorn" but will watch it to give it a chance. The Monkey was borderline too silly for me but I did enjoy that one.
