Live in Chicago? Wanna see David Goyer's latest THE UNBORN? Capone has the details!!!
Hey everyone. Capone in Chicago here with the first ticket giveaway of 2009 for residents of the Windy City.
I've got a few tickets for a screening designed to whet the whistle of Chicagoans before I make a major screening announcement in a few days about something going on next week (with guest). In the mean time, I've got 50 passes (each god for the winner plus one guest) for David Goyer's latest, THE UNBORN. Since I know these tickets are going to fly out the door, I'm only keeping the contest open for one day. So, 24 hours after the time code on this posting, and this contest is over.
I saw a whole lot of truly freaky footage from this film at ComicCon last year, much of which showed up in the trailer. And Goyer is usually a guy you can trust, especially when you look at his screenplays/story credits: THE DARK KNIGHT, BATMAN BEGINS, DARK CITY, the three BLADE movies, and the upcoming X-MEN ORIGINS: MAGNETO, which he is also slated to direct. And while I wasn't a huge fan of his last film as a director, THE INVISIBLE, I did think the film has a great vibe that kept it off my Worst of 2007 list. THE UNBORN was shot in Chicago last year and features the likes of Gary Oldman, Jane Alexander, Carla Gugino, James Remar, and Odette Yustman in her first feature since CLOVERFIELD.
The screening takes place Thursday, January 8 at 7:00pm at a theater in downtown Chicago (the exact location will only be given to contest winners). This is NOT an exclusive AICN screening, so winners need to arrive early to guarantee admission. In fact, this is the only pre-release screening of this film in Chicago, which means I'll be there even though I won't be running the shindig. I am expecting this to be oversold, so if there's even a chance you won't be able to make it, don't enter.
Here's how to secure a pass good for you and one guest. Send me an email at capone@aintitcoolmail.com with the subject line "I LOVE MY UNBORN TWIN!"
I need your name (guests' names are not required), and, in the body of the email, tell me why you love your unborn twin (I'm assuming you all have one, right?). Limit your answers to 75 words or less. I'll be judging these on creativity, shock value, and possibly some kind of swimsuit competition.
Winners will receive an email from me soon. Good luck, everyone! And hope to see you there.

by crackerfarmboy
What kind of horseshit is that. He did NEXT TO NOTHING on TDK script. What a self-promoting buffoon!

DAVID GOYER GO FUCK YOURSELF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey David Goyer,
Thanks for fucking up the Blade Trilogy. The first two were cinematic perfection and then you took a shit right on Blade with Blade 3.
I sound great singing to music in my car but, I am not stupid enough to make a Goddamned full of myself on American Idol. You can't Direct worth Shit and I waisted 2 hours of my life watching that steaming pile in the movie theaters, thanks for nothing asshole.
You are definitly a great screenwriter but, you fucking suck at Directing. Also, it is not all your fault. Blade 3 also looked cheaper than the previous Blade movie since, you listened to some of the dumb ass fans who complained about the CGI. CGI is what makes all summer blockbusters as big as they are. It started with Terminator 2 and Jurrassic Park and the idiots who complained about that shit are the ones who are against the summer blockbuster and if you are one of those guys than go fuck yourself and have fun watching soap operas you fucking losers.
Back to my point, I hope Blade 4 comes out, if they can replace Snipes or waite until he gets out of jail. -
The very last person to be credited with that film's success is the writer. As for The Unborn, undead children are always scary, so good luck with the contest, as nonsensical as it is.
-
Korean film remake, bad remake just like all of them.
-
horror movie that they make these days. Lots of shadowy figures, twisted shapes. Whatever.
-
Seriously, who Green Lights this shit?
-
'Cause I'll enter and hawk 'em on eBay if they are.
-
Goyer didn't write it. Goyer is a terrible writer AND director.
-
the twisted head people, even if ripped off the Exorcist, are pretty creepy.
-
how you set up a sequel.
-
I am so sick of these whiny little fanboys who think CGI is what makes movies great. "CGI is what makes all summer blockbusters as big as they are." Are you fucking kidding me? CGI ENHANCES already good movies. The greatest CGI in the world cant mask a poor script or poor acting or any other bad qualities. Jesus grow the fuck up. Besides that, CGI only works when it's done right, and sorry but most of the time it is easy to spot, and that makes it SUCK. CGI fire and explosions ARE FUCKING LAME. Take the time to make things look right or dont waste my time with fake looking CGI.

She played the love interest of Jake. She was very young and it was weird. Alf rules your universe!
-
looked creepy as shit. w/ that dude's head backwards. holy shit.
-
I'll be doing a horror double feature seeing this and my bloody valentine 3-d
-
Is a HORRIBLE director.
-
RUINED Blade 3.
-
Which January horror release will be worse? At least The Uninvited has Elizabeth Banks going for it. Count me in for that...
-
DAT ASS!
-
That seems to be the marketing campaign. There's a one-liner in there somewhere, but my brain's not processing on that level this late.

Goyer's a better director than Spielberg now.
by dannyglovers_dickblood
-
esp with the PG-13 and the fucming cliche of having a super hot girl run around in her underwear... so movie execs really believe that we are suckered into seeing a movie because of that? hellooooo, porn is EVERYWHERE for free now!!!
-
....the seemingly obligatory "creepy little kid" showed his face. C'mon! Enough with the evil, creepy kid stuff. It's been done to DEATH!!
-
...it was THE DARK HALF by Stephen King!
-
Seriously... they just changed the name and tried to pull a fast one on us. Check the iMDb. I knew it looked familiar. I'll see The Unborn, only because despite it's unoriginality it looks like it might not be as bad as everyone is making it out to be before seeing it.
-
He plotted it with Chris Nolan. Theres a big difference. Trust me, everything you hated about Batman Begins like "nice coat" and "you need to lighten up", those were Goyers.

The shot in the trailer of that guy with his head on upside down and his body crawling.....HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Nothin scary about that at all. Same with the dog. I don't give a fuck what context it's in, that shit is not scary. The one saving grace is that ass. Mmmmmmmm that ass.
-
Holy shit dude...are you ok??
-
So who gets the blame for "The night is always darkest before the dawn" and other such scripted pearls? You ether die a hero or live to recite horrible dialogue.

Hopefully this will be as shitty as The Invisible and Jumper
by cruel_kingdom
Just saying.
-
is not a better director than ANYONE.
-
Gordon's cringe-worthy "not the hero we need" speech at the end of TDK was pretty awful.
