I need to get over my hesitation to get excited over this just bc it's early days. Fuck it, I'm pumped. Nick fits the 80s/90s like a glove for aesthetic alone. But the potential is huge. The soundtrack, the meaty story, the looks he'll serve, possible tie-in brand deals?π
Nicholas Galitzine will star as legendary supermodel Hoyt Richards in a new film, with Gus Van Sant in talks to direct.
Richards was once the highest-paid male supermodel in the world, fronting campaigns for Versace, Valentino and Ralph Lauren.
....I feel like I know what he was about to say but he's very much tapped into the kinda things that set off fandom discourse (as much as he wants to deny this) so he chickened out. π
@darkskyzine I'm not gonna lie, when he mentioned the script was still being written I thought his team would shush him on this but my man is doubling down π
Also, the promo dump we got from Nick today was absolutely insane, I love when we get so much content that I'm too overwhelmed to even comment on any of it, lovely place to be in. π
Not that it's gonna do WILDLY different from tracking, but I'm seeing a LOT of full theaters for #MastersoftheUniverse in places I checked previously that were nearly empty just last week. I still think this could get decent walkups or day-of ticket buyers.
the way skeletor gets packed up in this movie is probably gonna be some of the coolest shit youβll see all year and it had sauce that even I wasnβt prepared to see from travis knight π
The hyper slow motion Matrix style punches gave me liiiiiife, I keep thinking about those too. Sorry y'all I had to clock in for a shift after going to see this solo and all I wanna do is talk about it lol #MastersoftheUniverse
@ndsnas This seemed to be made for the inner child of its audience, which gave it a distinct charm I don't usually get from marvel. Those comparisons are a bit lazy imo. Some of them possibly even coming from marvel fans who wanna claim it's reheating some nachos
@brialternative Yeah, there was one bit where the mumbling made me laugh but a lot of those elaborate insults were muffled for me...will need captions when streaming lol
The ONLY thing I don't vibe w/the masses on, and this might be where my bias comes in but...Skeletor didnt exactly steal the show for me. Fab villain! But he had 1 AWESOME sequence at the end that may be coloring ppls view of his performance vs him being great the whole movie imo
