A middle-aged nerd from the UK. I like films and write about them, sometimes for Film Stories or my blog.
Have a great day.
I still haven’t seen part 2 yet but I bought both in 4k from a black Friday sale. These comments are encouraging. ☺️
Well this is a character I know nothing about, so maybe that will explain my initial thoughts.
The clip introduced the character of Kraven well and it has me interested in the full film. The problem is, are you telling me not one guard managed to shoot him at all in that sequence? They were almost point blank at times. Not a single scratch!
Apparently, the comments were taken out of context. It’s from a 2 hour interview, edited down to 30 minutes. Hence the confusion.
The Jinx film almost happened. There was a script, a director in Stephen Frears but apparently MGM got cold feet spending $80m on the film.

“It was very disappointing. It was ahead of its time. Nobody was ready to sink that kind of money into a Black female action star. They just weren’t sure of its value. That’s where we were then.”
A $26m worldwide opening weekend isn’t great, is it.
So that’ll be streaming on PVOD next week, with the 4K and Blu-ray two weeks later then, I guess? 😆
