It's even his own daughter the cop goes looking for in this one - doesn't bode well for the storyline as we know it huh

Well if Nicholas Cage's character isn't a virgin then it's a completely different film. And no doubt a fairly shite one. I'll watch it when it's on the telly though.

No it's not, though the way they are promoting it makes it look like a horror film. It's based on a bed time story Shyamalan made up for his daughter. According to most of the reviews it's neither scary nor very good.

Talk about totally mismarketing a film. The posters and TV ads make it look like a horror so parents won't take the kids to see it and horror fans will see it's a PG and not go.
Who are they aiming the film at?

It's only in the UK that they are marketing this as a horror film. In the US it was promoted more as a fairytale/fantasy film. This is probably out of desperation, because in the US the film has already flopped and gotten bad reviews and they are trying to make it look like his more horror orientated (and more financially successful) previous films.
This is the US poster:
On the UK poster she is just a shadow across a swimming pool and a beasty with red glowing eye is lurking in the bushes.

I have. In my defense, it was at the $2 theatre, and I was too drunk to drive home. I needed a place to sober up so I wouldn't get arrested driving home.
It was truely awful. Even blind drunk I could see it was bad. I'd have rated it G (for god-awful).

"Something new" hardly ever makes money. Why? Because the vast majority of people won't go and see something they don't recognize. That's why sequels and remakes happen and untill joe public decides to turn out for a small British film like Life and Lyrics in the same numbers as they do for a piece of crap like Pirates of the Carribean 2 then, and only then, Hollywood will change its ways.

There's going to be a big pagan burning of a giant effigy for the filming of a biblical epic. In Margate. Gawd.
Gonna be ace.
