Monkey Man

Looks pretty interesting. Indian John Wick?

Oh, I thought it was this guy's movie...

I mean there’s spin-offs of everything these days, so maybe one day

Is that song like a national india anthem? It’s played pretty much Everytime something pertains to India

 

[Sixth Scale Man]

Cool! Prequel! Let’s go. How did he get that eye patch? Where did he meet the monkey? Did they grow up on the mean streets of Cairo as kids? Was he riff-raff, a street rat? When did he learn to ride a motorcycle? When did the monkey become a Nazi? Does he miss his twin brother Satipo?

Monkey Man is the only major villain who never died in Raiders. A sequel is baked in.

I'd ask when we'll see that film, but I suspect that the date will be bad.

But... his monkey died, so technically he was no longer monkey man after that.

Not sure Dev Patel was the right guy to star in this movie.

He looks great in it to me.

If no one is willing to cast you in an action role then cast yourself.

The sequel will explain how he got his new, better, badder monkey.

We can rebuild him, we have the technology

Mech Monkey

Mech Monkey

Maybe Timesplitters is the real Indiana Jones sequel.

 

[Felinx]

Dev Patel doesn't like the direction this thread has gone in.

 

[Mandible]

Could go either way, but the trailer looks interesting at least.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Is Dev heading into RRR territory...?

 

[Felinx]

Is Dev heading into RRR territory...?

More like ZZZ territory. Villains and visuals right, lead actor wrong.

His persona is just wrong for the type of role/genre this is. It's like he saw himself in Hotel Mumbai then streamed all the John Wick films and thought he had action hero chops.

I would have said that about Keanu Reeves too back in 1993 before Speed made him an action star. Keanu? Action star? Nicholas Cage? Action star? It's amazing what can be done.

Reeves was clear from Point Break three years earlier, in his mid-20s. And Cage was deranged/dangerous from day one, and at times mined much of the same semi-comedic blue collar edge as Bruce Willis, so no big surprise there.

Dev to me is just a nice-guy, sweet and sometimes a bit bland, in everything he's done. Maybe he can turn Best Marigold on its head with this one.
