10 Upcoming Movie Blockbusters That Could Be Disasters
8. Gods Of Egypt
When the first trailer for Gods Of Egypt arrived it looked like an elaborate parody of fantasy movies; full of stupid dialogue, hammy overacting and crammed with dodgy CGI. Turns out its a real film, and the trailer genuinely was supposed to get people excited; this was warning sign number one. Then it drew ire for the predominantly white cast including Gerard Butler and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau - despite taking place in Ancient Egypt. The studio didnt really have a good defence for this, so they and director Alex Proyas came out and apologised, promising to do better in future. This backlash was another mark against the movie, and despite later trailers trying to get people hyped the excitement levels for it are somewhere near zero. Maybe people will embrace the camp silliness of Gods Of Egypt when it comes out and it will surprise everyone by being a big 300 style success. The outlook isnt so hot though.
