Yeah, last year didn’t have much to offer other than Hundreds of Beavers.

Ah, gratuitous blood and gore. This looks like fun. Nice to see a little person, Peter Dinklage, cast in a role where they would usually never even be considered.

Kinda odd though since I rememberToxie being much taller

Exactly my point; generally, a person of normal stature is cast in the role so it's a refreshing take to see an LP cast in the role. In the 80s, LPs were cast in a lot of horror and sci-fi movies, but we rarely see them today. Peter Dinklage is certainly the most notable LP working in tv and film today from what I've seen.

I get the feeling that he’s the only one outside of standup comedy these days. I guess he’s kinda like what the 80’s had for Warwick Davis

Is Dinklage even in the make-up? Seems another actor plays Toxie, he's pre-accident Toxie only. Kind of odd, why even bother making a big deal about Dinklage? I imagine he won't be in the movie beyond the first half hour.

Luisa Guerreiro plays Toxie in the full make-up. Like Lou Ferrigno played the alternate version of the Hulk. It's possible, due to his stature, Dinkalge could not do the full physical performance.(?)

Yeah, the arms are much bigger and appear longer, same with the legs. He looks closer to a real life Wolverine stature than Dinklage stature

Watched the live action How to Train Your Dragon, and I enjoyed it just as much as the animated. They kept right close to the original and managed to deepen a few scenes which, if you are going to do a remake, you should anyway, otherwise just make your own movie. It doesn't hurt that the writer/director is the same for both. Really hoped talks of the other two sequels getting the same treatment comes through.

I guess there’s not much hope for the live action Transformers movies anymore 

[Thom]

Oh dear Gawd, why?!?! His last few Transformers movies (ie all of them) were so full of infantile, over the top crap that it's a wonder anyone would give him another franchise to wreck. Or further wreck. Can you wreck a wreck..? Wreck on a wreck!? The only good one to come out of the franchise was Bumblebee and that wasn't even directed by him. I recall seeing that and thinking that, finally, it had turned away from his idiotic corner, but I guess whether someone has talent or not doesn't matter.

Unless it is 980° from anything else he has ever made, this is probably something I will not watch for free. In fact, I will pay myself not to watch it.
