Snowglobe of Doom posted:On the other hand Marc Webb (director of Amazing Spider-Man and Amazing Spider-Man 2) went back to producing/directing TV shows these last few years and has only just gotten back into film direction. He's got a film called Gifted about a man fighting for custody of his niece starring Chris Evans coming out later this year, I'd be surprised if the budget was a tenth of either of the Amazing Spider-Man films. Personally, I'd love to see a family drama with a $220 million budget.

Snowglobe of Doom posted:I haven't heard any rumours yet but Marvel and Fox have managed to repair some burnt bridges lately (they're co-producing the Hellfire TV series) so anything's possible. I just assume that Fox will give up and give Marvel the film rights to the FF eventually, I can't imagine them trying to reboot the franchise again on their end or do a sequel. I mean, if your options are make a movie just to keep the rights (which I think was a factor in the latest bad FF movie) and almost certainly eat a significant loss on the movie in every way (critically, financially, prestige of the studio), or work out a deal that gives the rights back to Marvel and gets you either an immediate payday or a percentage of the movies they make that involve the FF (kind of inverting the license deal, which I think is basically what Sony did with Spider-man), then I'd go with the latter every day of the week. I mean it's Marvel studios, they'd work out a way to do a FF movie that's at least at the Ironman 2 level, which would be a marked improvement over every other FF movie so far, and probably more important to them you'd get access to Galactus, Dr. Doom, and the Silver Surfer who could all be potential enemies in the Avengers movie after Infinity War. It's not like they're going to stop making Avengers movies then no matter what, it'd take Infinity War 1 and 2 absolutely tanking at the box office and I don't see how that's possible. At best we'll hit Avenger fatigue in the movie after Infinity War, and I think it'll take substantially longer than that even. Meanwhile Fox keeps cranking out successes and is generally following the Marvel shared universe blueprint well enough that it's hard to imagine them and Marvel getting on the same page for my dream Avengers vs X-men movie, though at the same time what a climax it would be if all this slow grind towards the present in the recent X-men universe (aside from Deadpool) culminated in a massive crossover. I really wish it was as simple as "60/40 split, cool now lets throw 30 characters at each other and make $2 billion." Anyway don't mind me, just going off about comic book movies as usual. Deadpool still rocks.

Fox won't even have to make a decision for a few years, they can just shove it into the "too hard" basket for a while and let it simmer.

Actually, on a further look he didn't direct The Patriot or We Were Soldiers, just starred in them. Huh. Guess he also had his agent looking out for other people working in the same wheelhouse. e: We Were Soldiers is also noteworthy for turning a pretty horrific book about how hosed up the Vietnam War was into "the war was unwinnable but MAN WE LOOKED LIKE BADASSES OUT THERE." gently caress that movie.

outside of the fabricated charge up the hill at the end I never saw them as badasses, unless you're talking about poo poo like Moore capping the VC soldier that was about to bayonet him or Plumley being Plumley. Eh, if irl Hal Moore said that they "got it right" then Wallace must've done something right

I find it better for the X-men to be their own separate thing, I personally don't think they work very well as a wider part of the marvel universe, the themes that the movies have done a fairly good job at exploring are a lot less resonate when you have Iron Man, Thor, Hulk and others alongside them too. Like why would people be so freaked out about mutants in particular but then not really get too bothered about the rest of these jokers running around?

Polaron posted:Civil War and Agents of SHIELD seem to be demonstrating that people actually do have an issue with all of the superpowered types running around. I don't watch AoS but I kind of see that as a situation where the issue is that they're unaccountable to anybody but themselves, which is a legit concern with somebody like Tony Stark and all their past actions. In X-men its more irrational prejudice against an immutable characteristic. Like I don't really get much indication that Captain America is a problem because he's super strong, its more to do with him openly flouting government attempts to rein in his city wrecking adventures. One is people worried about the NSA, the other is people worried about the Gay agenda.

Any relation to the Brandon Sanderson book series Legion? Where the main character has an eidetic memory and spawns imaginary friends to work with him with everything and every skill he knows?

I think it's a smart idea of Fox to just keep the X-Men in the early 80s and 90s then that way current films can be made or whatever.

Then thanks to TimeFuckery, 2000s gives us the OG Xflick. So by then it'll be time to reboot since you won't have the Huge JackedMan to Snikt at things anymore. Maybe 90s Film is some House of M-Day universal reset button for the franchise. They could get JJ Abrams to direct it.

At this point they could just jettison the 'classic' X-Men and I'd be cool with that. Maybe they could get Colossus back, but forget the rest. You have plenty of other options, what with NTW, Dazzler, Longshot, Banshee, Armor, Magma, poo poo there's fucktons of X-Men you could use. (I just want to see Dazzler on the big screen  )

Not modern, grumpy Dazzler, but early 80s roller-disco Dazzler. And yes, I know there's a run where he went back in time because present Dazzler wouldn't help him [there were REASONS] and snagged young, naive roller-disco Dazzler to fight Draculas in present time.

(vampires = Draculas to DP) Dazzler in a movie would be like one of those awful anime music videos were the music makes the character super.  On a serious note, converting sound to lazerbeams would actually be a loving rad power in the middle of a gunfight - lots of sound to power it then. (Although I wouldn't object to going full camp with Dazzler belting out a power ballad while slinging light everywhere; Pat Benatar maybe  )
