Comments on: Wes Anderson’s ‘Fantastic Mr. Fox’ Moves To A November 13 Release Date https://staging2.theplaylist.net/wes-andersons-fantastic-mr-fox-moves-to-20090420/ Mon, 09 Nov 2020 05:02:17 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.7.5 By: rodrigoperez https://staging2.theplaylist.net/wes-andersons-fantastic-mr-fox-moves-to-20090420/#comment-6427 Tue, 21 Apr 2009 17:42:00 +0000 http://theplaylist.wpengine.com/?p=7796#comment-6427 His name will be there, but it won’t be the “visionary” that is Zack Snyder. His core base already knows it’s him. They’ll market it to the kids and Nightmare before Christmas is a classic to us, not to kids these days who may or may not have seen it. Coraline reportedly barely broke even. It’s budget was apparently $75 million and it only did $74m domestically.

And if we do see Anderson’s name, it’ll be “Directed by the legenday Wes Anderson” or something that draws out the name but doesn’t put his other films in there. No matter what, they will try to throw his name about if for no other reason to get his core fanbase in there too.

No offense to him, but kids films are generally an excuse to print money unless they’re too esoteric, which the stop-motion of this one (almost an antiquated obsolete look now) could, but if they market it right, it shouldn’t matter.

You’ll prolly see very little “Wes Anderson” and his films in the marketing of this one (or as much as you do in Robert Rodriguez’s “Shorts” which is not a ton), because it really doesn’t matter here and them kids won’t care.

Seriously, unless the studio completly shits out on press, Anderson might be sitting on quite a pile of cash.

Then parents will show them Royal Tenenbaums and sweetly fuck 6 year olds up.
