In December Peter Segal was in negotiations to direct the film, [27] but by November the project had not named a director. Principal photography began in October in Georgia , with filming occurring in Atlanta [22] [32] including Inman Park [33] and several areas in Cobb County including the Oakleigh, [34] Echo Mill, and Amberton subdivisions in the city of Powder Springs.
The suit was hot even in cold areas, and had to be unzipped to let Doug Jones cool off between takes. The costume was enhanced with CGI in a number of ways, including replacing arms and dilating pupils which Schaffer thought made the creature seem more alive. The Neighborhood Watch marketing campaign began on February 29, with the release of a teaser poster, trailer and the unveiling of the film's website, jointhewatch. The trailer featured Hill imitating a gun with his hand pretending to shoot at teenagers, while the poster featured a bullet-ridden, alien-themed neighborhood-watch sign. According to insiders Fox intended to move into the next phase of the marketing campaign as soon as possible focusing on the film's science-fiction aspects , while replacing previous posters with images of the cast.
In a statement about the changes Fox said, "We are very sensitive to the Trayvon Martin case, but our film is a broad alien-invasion comedy and bears absolutely no relation to the tragic events in Florida The teaser materials were part of an early phase of our marketing and were never planned for long-term use.
On July 25, Harkins Theatres the sixth-largest North American cinema chain announced it would not be showing the film after failing to reach a financial agreement with Fox. This, plus competition from the simultaneous launch of the Summer Olympics , would negatively impact ticket sales for The Watch. The site's critical consensus reads, " The Watch uneasily mixes sci-fi elements with gross-out gags and strands its talented cast with a script that favors vulgarity over wit at nearly every turn.
The Hollywood Reporter ' s Sheri Linden described the film as feeling like "part three of a past-its-prime franchise", criticizing the plot as moving "lazily from setup to punchline to setup, with no particular point and almost no punch". Ebert commented that the comic timing of the lead actors benefits the dialog, but frequent instances of "crude, vulgar and offensive" comedy became unwelcome and unamusing.
However, he praised Hill's "scene-stealing" performance. Entertainment Weekly ' s Lisa Schwarzbaum commented that the film struggles to find a "coherent" style between the "PG rated aliens" and adult themes and dialogue.
Character wise, Ridley was less likeable. Photos 3 Quotes He also criticized the frequent Costco promotion. ALIEN isn't a bad book but the movie is so, so much better. Bob disobeys Evan's orders and rushes to the party with Franklin. Showing of 2 reviews. Can anyone recommend a book similar to Alien or the film Prometheus?
Club ' s Keith Phipps also unfavorably compared the film to Ghostbusters , stating that it struggles to replicate that film's successful formula but fails to innovate with the story or characters. He also criticized the frequent Costco promotion. He described the film as a "lowbrow, lame-brained mash-up of buddies-on-patrol comedy and sci-fi actioner, held together barely by an endless string of penis jokes". However, he praised Ayoade's "mellow, nerdy-funky appeal [that represents] one of the [film's] few novel aspects". The Los Angeles Times ' Betsy Sharkey was more positive, stating that "the funniest stuff comes from the kind of situational misfires that can happen when dudes try to do things, like catch aliens, that they are clearly not cut out to do".
She considered that Schaffer's previous experience directing short comic videos for Saturday Night Live was partially responsible for individual comic moments broken up by transitions where "things tend to fall apart". Rocchi, however, commented that the film was forgettable and "disposable".
