You have to admit he is a pretty good deriver though

>>85170541

Damn cryptids stealing our womenfolk

>>85170682
>water man

The absolute state of capeshit.

>>85170541
hold on a fucking second, isn't this pretty much abe sapiens origin story?
holy shit hellboy 3 CONFIRMED

>>85170682
same actor too lol

Isn't it a little too early for a Splice remake, Del Hacko??

>this December you will believe a fish can bang a woman

>>85170541
del taco is kino already

>>85170541
fucking trailer gives away the whole movie.

>>85170790
yes it is, also a bit of Little Mermaid with her not having a voice
no, they're remaking Hellboy remember?

>>85170541
is this gonna be GDT's oscar bait? all his friends got oscars now.
Still milking that Pans Labyrinth buzz

>>85170541

Gee, great story

>>85170541

Not like it was the purpose of this thread or anything.

>they kill michael shannon, flee to a movie theatre where abe briefly experiences the real world before dying
gee thanks for the whole plot trailer

>>85170541

why did they show Shannon dying... we really need reform in the trailer departments of jewwywood

>>85170970
maybe he doesn't die there?

>>85170713
This movie had so much potential to be more than just an OK movie.

>>85170682

The love of eggs kind of pushes it over the edge from similar to wtf

This reminds me of that comic where the chick jerks off a fish dude and his cum flies several feet

RIVETING

>>85170896
I think it might be a touch too weird for Oscar bait nowadays, since most of the new oscar bait involves some kind of race or real world prejudice, like Detroit, but it's definitely a far cry from something like Pacific Rim

>>85170896
that's mostly the studio/distributor. not even paul thomas anderson gets to cut his own trailers or decide how the movie is promoted

anyway, i think it's more del taco trying to make his own beauty and the beast than oscar baiting

Shannon is so fucking based. The guy belongs in another era. He should be in every studio Western, every hard boiled cop show or brutal war movie, all of that Lee Marvin shit

>>85170896
How can he even compete?

>>85171000
nope I checked it again, his entire chest is completely soaked in blood

>>85170896

The studio is pushing it for Oscars. It got the typical mid-December just in under the line for Oscar consideration release date like Fences did last year.

>>85171397
he's pretty much michael cera
every single film he plays an agitated sperg
take shelter, revolutionary road, midnight special, nocturnal animals, the iceman
also he was in kangaroo jack

>>85170541
slightly interesting premise but lately (the last decade or so) del taco is a talent at taking something interesting and reducing it to mindnumbingly boring tripe when it comes to execution

>>85170898
>>85170936
>>85170970
Is there anything more pleb than caring about spoilers?

so Amelie with gill-man

>>85171570
>every single film he plays an agitated sperg
qft

same role in boardwalk empire and superman

>>85171609
in 20 minutes I can piece together the entire plot start to finish from the trailer
do you want me to do that?

>>85171428

Nothing Innaritu or Curon has done comes close to Pan's labyrinth.

>>85171629
>>85171570
also was one in 8 mile
but he's really good at being an agitated sperg

>>85171614

Amelie was not a mute and was a fucking emotional terrorist

>>85171664
Sherlock whogivesashit over here

>>85171693

Gravity, Revanant > Pans Labyrinth.

The Strain is irrefutable proof of the opposite

hell yes. cant help but get excited for this

>>85171864
>>Interspecies romance for the oscars
sounds like something they'll go for

just make it an allegory about interracial and BOOM Oscar

It seems great. I like the aesthetic.

>DEL TORO

The lead actress has the appeal of a partially burned Naugahyde Rhea Perlman Muppet being operated by an autistic on Ambien.

then they should've tried with a sexier species. Probably a furry version would've been much more successful.

I've heard plenty of girls that want to fuck Simba, but none who want to fuck a fish.

>>85172037
Speak to the point, counselor.

>>85171885
This is true. Richard Jenkins particularly is an incredible actor and I am always excited when he is in something. Bone Tomahawk was fantastic.

i feel that this will be revealed to be some kind of Hellboy prequel.
The fish creature looks almost exactly like Abe Sapien, it even eats eggs just like Abe.
That's probably Del Taco trying to sneak Hellboy inside his movie without the studio noticing.
Maybe Del Taco is doing it like M. Night and wants to make a secret companion movie (Split, Shape of Water) to an earlier classic (Unbreakable, Hellboy 2) to get the sequel for the earlier classic greenlit...

watched the whole flick in the trailer

>>85172052
If you really think that knowing the plot is the most important thing about a movie then you are a pleb of the highest order

I never cared for interspecies romance, but it does look beautiful.

Hope Del Toro gets to make his Lovecraft movie someday.

Pale man vs Gill man when?

>>85170541
From here it's not far off from falling in love with satan or some goat headed demon spawn, created into some gene lab. This will come after the trans stuff. Demon fucking.

>>85172415
I thought it didn't work out because the studios didn't want to finance an expensive R-rated movie?

>>85172247
It is vital to over overall experience of the movie that you take the journey as it was intended. Having knowledge of what happens around every corner changes the context of literally everything on screen. Otherwise, in medias res and other methods of storytelling wouldn't even be a thing. Kill yourself.

>The Shape of Water An other-worldly fairy tale, set against the backdrop of Cold War era America circa 1963 In the hidden high-security government laboratory where she works, lonely Elisa is trapped in a life of silence and isolation. Elisa's life is changed forver when she and co-worker Zelda discover a secret classified experiment.

>Abe Sapien began his life as Langdon Everett Caul, a Victorian scientist and businessman who became involved with the Oannes Society, an occult organization who believed in life and all knowledge having come from the sea. After retrieving a strange jellyfish-like deity from an underwater ruin, Caul and the other members performed an arcane ritual that inadvertently ended with the creature's release and Caul being turned into an ichthyo sapien. Believing him to be Oannes reborn, the society sealed the developing icthyo sapien's body in a tube of water in the hidden laboratory beneath a Washington, D.C.. hospital until such time as he was fully formed. Forced to abandon the site by the outbreak of the American Civil War, the Society never found occasion to return for Caul, and there he stayed until he was found by workmen in November 1978.
With no memory of his life before, the icthyo sapien received a new name from a piece of paper attached to the tube, dated the day of Abraham Lincoln's assassination (April 14, 1865). Abe Sapien was taken to the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense (BPRD) for a gruelling round of research by curious BPRD scientists, and was saved from vivisection by an empathetic Hellboy. Thereafter, Abe entered the ranks of the BPRD as a valued field agent, embarking on his first mission with Hellboy in 1979.

What if this lead to BPRD movie?

just kidding, we will never ever see bprd on a screen ;_;

>>85172430
Is he, dare I say it, are hack?

>>85172912
BPRD would suck as a movie, it needs a high budget tv series

>>85170896
they said the same thing about Crimson Peak and it was meh. Del Taco hasn't made a good movie in a decade.

>>85172912
At one point that was an Abe Sapien spin off in development

http://www.denofgeek.com/us/movies/hellboy/264724/hellboy-abe-sapien-spinoff-movie-almost-happened

>>85170541
that trailer spoiled like 90% of the movie.

>>85170541

just because of the year its set in and water related?

you are a fucking spastic

But... why is this part of his origin not explained when they fleshed out his origin?

WATERED

>>85173479
Considering he had a near infinitude of other options for style? Yes, its him aping Bioshock.

>>85171397

Sad he's a raging liberal tho

>>85174222
He's just method acting a creature of the black lagoon.

>>85170541
Looks interesting, but I'm not paying for a Del Toro movie after Pacific Rimjob.

>>85171793

The Strain is intentionally goofy, and Guillermo only served as a producer after the pilot anyway so it hardly counts.

>>85174222

Sad you're autistic enough to care

>>85170541
Well, I've been firmly on Team Guillermo ever since the Devil's Backbone.

So yes, I'll go see the Hellboy prequel.

>>85172912

Let's hope it doesn't turn out like Crimson Peak. That was crap. I am starting to think Pan's Labyrinth and Chronos were flukes.
