Pans Labyrinth 'A Fairy tale for grown-ups'

[zenie]

This looks fucking amazing

http://www.panslabyrinth.com/

I cant wait!!

*squeals with delight*

Should be released in US December 29th so I think the same for us too.

BTW There is no David Bowie in scary make-up thank fuck!!

 

[Groucho]

I like fairy tales. I thought they were all for grown ups?

 

[Biddlybee]

This the one from the bloke that did Devil's Backbone?

edit: bah, won't pay at work

 

[Nine Bob Note]

Can someone please assure me this is in no way a remake of the Bowie film, before I start punching my collegues?

No it isn't in any way.

Actually it looks fuckin' excellent. It is by the same director who made the fabulous Cronos the vampire tale with a difference.

[Moggy]

I've been waiting for this to come out for *so* long

Oh and bee, you can watch the trailer over at IMDB:

It's trailer #2

 

[Biddlybee]

Cheers Moggy, will do when I get home (no sound card at work).

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

Looks quite good, like a mixture between Paperhouse, the Neverending Story (the book) and Legend

 

[Pieface]

It is the Devil's Backbone guy, verily and it shall be good

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

I haven't seen the Devil's Backbone... perhaps should check it out...

 

[Strumpet]

OOoooooo fantasy! Love it, love it.
Looks good.

 

[Biddlybee]

That trailer is looking forward to this... although I seem to keep missing films I want to see at the cinema

 

[geminisnake]

Oooh, that looks interesting

Looks fucking amazing but dont you slag off Mr Bowie in make up *shudders with pleasure*

 

[Dubversion]

really looking forward to this

 

[Mrs Magpie]

I thought the thread title started with the words 'penis labyrinth'

 

[Stigmata]

I thought the thread title started with the words 'penis labyrinth'

That's a substantially more terrifying film that's going straight to DVD.

 

[Moggy]

Well.

I just watched it.

It's really, REALLY fucking good!

Not quite what i was expecting in some regards, but it's one of the few films that i would describe as having a proper 'magical feel' to it.

We must organise a mass group viewing of this when it comes out on the 24th (and i'm up that weekend ).

Guillermo del toro does it again, but better than ever before

P.S. There's a leaked copy of the production company's promo VHS online, so you can watch it properly subbed and in pretty good quality too. Still needs to be seen on the big screen IMO.

 

[Firky]

I haven't seen the Devil's Backbone... perhaps should check it out...

He's also done Mimic, Hellboy and Blade 2.

 

[Moggy]

He's also done Mimic, Hellboy and Blade 2.

Yeah, but most people don't like that kind of american shite.

Fair enough, i like Mimic and Blade 2, but his real talent is in his natural spanish/mexican stuff.

 

[Firky]

I've only seen those three god awful films (well Blade 2 was alreet)

 

[Moggy]

Well fucking check out the devils backbone then! And come see pan's labyrinth the weekend it comes out

 

[crustychick]

oi! No slaggin off DB in make up - it was the best bit of the film, well, that and the lycra trousers

 

[Biddlybee]

Not one of my favourite venues but this is on at the Barbican next week

Why is the Barbican cinema a bit shit?

Is this not going on general release?

 

[Biddlybee]

Never been to the cinema there ... it's just a pain in the arse to get to.
Should be on general release, but you said 29th December, so thought this might be some early screening thing...

I'll never understand why people make such a fuss when it comes to the Barbican. Anything higher than 3 floors seems to be beyond the navigating capability of the British. The Barbican is right next to the Barbican tube station, so how can it be difficult to get to ? There are plenty of signs of where to go and to make it really easy for dummies there are yellow lines on the pavement leading you right into the main core of the building. Then you make your way to a lift, look up where the cinema is and get to the right floor. While you're at it check out the indoor jungle, it's like something out of the sci-fi classic Silent Running.

 

[Biddlybee]

Mate, you have no idea where I live... I've got quite a few cinemas closer to me - so for me it's a pain in the arse to get to. I've seen a few gigs there and don't particularly like the venue - personal preference.
