Way to pile on the hate there.

So you don’t like Clive Owen or Frank Miller. Then don’t see the film.

Frank Miller has been consistently a great story teller since Daredevil 158. Then there is The Dark Knight Returns, Wolverine, Sin City, 300 and many, many more.

One thing is always certain when Miller’s name is attached to a project, weather graphic novel or film. You won’t be getting the same old cookie-cutter bullshit that hollywood puts out on a regular basis.

I’m there opening night

He is the modern Robert Mitchum.
Seriously, he’s one of my favorite actors in movies today and you wanna know why?
Because he is the essential leading man. He’s charismatic, edgy, tough, yet oozes a “hard shell, soft core”-quality. Ladies fancy him, while guys don’t mind that. That’s the key element (Orlando Bloom, Colin Farrell! I hope you’re taking notes here!) to his success. I would even go as far as to compare him to Bogart in a sense.
I guess what I’m trying to say here is that Clive Owen rocks and is the perfect lead for a Film-Noir type movie.

Wow, it really sounds like I’m having a total man-crush here, doesn’t it?

JesusMary and Joesph!

,Isn’t the question a bit…much Serena? I mean, forget Owen. There are many actors who have taken on roles in every other film where, as a protagonist they had to defend or protect something.

You’re getting worked up over nothing.

I love Raymond Chandler stories, so I will be looking forward to this. Here is what I found about this looking for 5 seconds online (could contain possible spoilers of movie so do not read if you do not want to know anymore about what plot could contain)

POSSIBLE MOVIE SPOILERS (Since movie is based on book and this talks about the book)

—————-

Trouble Is My Business is a collection of four stories, all of them classic Philip Marlowe Mysteries.

The stories in this anthology, Trouble is My Business, Fingerman, Goldfish, & Real Wind, originally appeared in a variety of magazines, including Black Mask, Detective Fiction Weekly, The Saturday Evening Post, Atlantic Monthly and the Saturday Review of Literature.

In these four long stories in this collection, Philip Marlowe is hired to protect a rich old guy from a gold digger, runs afoul of crooked politicos, gets a line on some stolen jewels with a reward attached, and stumbles across a murder victim who may be an extortionist.

“Raymond Chandler invented a new way of talking about America, and America has never looked the same to us since.” — Paul Auster

Frank Miller is just a slut now after talking shit about Hollywood for over 10 years. He is trying to get his hands on any project that he can. I stop reading anything that he is working on.The only thing I read is All Star Batman and Robin the boy wonder because of Jim Lee’s great art work.

Plus don’t forget all the films he’s helped protect things in (and not as the main protector or ass cover-er-upper).

The Bourne Identity: He helped protect the departments interests by trying to take out Bourne.

Inside Man – He’s protecting his own self interests here.

Elizabeth – The Golden Age – again helping to help protect the empire. He’s very patriotic our man Clive is.

Even in video games he’s protecting people. In PRIVATEER 2 he saves your life.
