The campaign of pain even prompted Jezebel to write a series of posts about how much the co-stars appeared to not exactly be BFFs (see: ' Double Crap: Fifty Shades of Grey Stars Can't Fucking Stand Each Other' and ' Fifty Shades Leads Continue to Hate Each Other on the Cover Of Glamour'). Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan just wrapped the most uninspired press tour in history, that included one of the most uncomfortable interviews I've ever seen. I called my agent and said, 'This sucks.'' (He recently told The Hollywood Reporter that he was likely 'more burnt out than bored,' but, come on dude you can't unsay 'dead inside.')īut really, Teller is just an example of how you can't sink these sequel factories even if you try.

(Woodley, bless her, went on Late Night with Seth Meyers and managed to talk for two minutes about doing stunts for the franchise.) Teller, mind you, is on record explaining to W magazine that he was 'feeling dead inside' while filming Divergent, adding, 'I didn't have an interesting part, and I'd taken the film for business reasons: It was the first movie I'd done that was going to have an international audience. Miles Teller went on The Tonight Show earlier this week and touched on the film for 20 seconds before transitioning into Woodley's love of eggs and almonds. Consider this: Naomi Watts appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! two weeks ago to 'promote' the film, and during her 13-minute interview talked about Insurgent for a whole 50 seconds before Kimmel brought up another movie she did last year. But since this machine has been set to autopilot, it requires the absolute minimum amount of exertion from all parties involved. The lack of industry interest in Insurgent is staggering for a movie of its size. And now, we're at the halfway point in the Divergent series, with enough tepid reviews for the second movie to keep us lurching towards the third and eventual fourth. Surprise! Turns out sex in movies totally existed before Shades, and now that our curiosity has been assuaged we don't really care. Those two proved amazingly bankable, but really? Two Breaking Dawn films?! Fifty Shades of Grey is currently in negotiations with its principals for the sequel, Fifty Shades Darker, but even with the pre-release boost of so much salacious fodder, everyone has basically stopped talking about it already. The trio of Twilight saga movies we had to suffer through after New Moon was unbearable, but hey, at least Edward and Bella-aka Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson-were a cultural phenomenon. The Chronicles of Narnia was allowed to meander on for five years and three movies. The number of passes given to movies that are, at best, inoffensive is embarrassingly high.īut the number of passes given to movies that are, at best, inoffensive is embarrassingly high. The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo was an even better movie, but it didn't hit the marks for Sony so the remainder of the trilogy will likely only live on in its Swedish counterparts. Now, it would have been three books transformed into four movies and an auto-go after the first premiere (even though that movie was totally underappreciated and deserved another chance).

In those halcyon days, when something like The Golden Compass didn't live up to expectations, New Line would opt out of producing the rest of the His Dark Materials trilogy. There was a time when studio heads would pump the brakes on material that wasn't working. How did we get to this weird place of wondering whether we should care about a major studio release based on a popular book series that had three sequels greenlit before the projectors cooled down on the first installment, Divergent? In order to correctly address the present, we must first consider the past, and Hollywood's unselfconscious embrace of the ethos 'good enough is good enough.' So, in order to effectively address the release of Insurgent, we're going to follow their lead and ignore it almost completely.

We're not going to talk about Insurgent much because no one, including most of the people actually in the movie, cares. We're letting you know because we won't actually talk about Insurgent much here, but trust that's definitely what this story is about.
