The seats in the theaters are probably nice and clean, but it is the air in the theater especially with a bunch of rando patrons who are chowing down on dry popcorn just waiting to cough everywhere that is the big nope

as a movie theater employee, I'll set this straight: if the seats are leather, you're gonna be fine, especially immediately after reopening. Theaters are gonna have extra hands on deck to be cleaning constantly. My boss told me we'd probably have 2-3 people on theater duty (when we'd normally have 1, 2 on very busy nights) armed with lots of sanitizer, plus an extra person cleaning just the bathrooms. They're super paranoid because people (rightfully) assume that theaters are gonna be a place where people could very easily transmit. If the seats are cloth, you might not be so lucky, it's harder to clean them.

you're not wrong about the air though, that's something theaters can't really control. They'll all be forcing people to wear masks (especially after AMC tried to say they wouldn't and everyone yelled at them, and I dont' know about everyone else, but I'm gonna be a huge rear end in a top hat to anyone who thinks they can get in without a mask. There's not really a way to enforce wearing them in the theaters themselves though. I wouldn't recommend you go see movies in theaters at least through this year, possibly longer depending on how long this pandemic lasts. I'm not optimistic.

He can play Sigmar in an origin story, heck his backstory has him rescuing a Dwarf king from Orcs and that could be used for a basic fantasy movie.

(Also I think they meant Cavill should play the Emperor from 40k)

Did you guys think Margot Robbie was cool as Harley Quinn? How would you like to see that performance...on a boat!

A.V. Club posted:

THR reports today that Margot Robbie and writer Christina Hodson—who recently teamed up for Warner Bros.’ gleefully vulgar ode to egg sandwiches, Birds Of Prey—have put a new project together: A new film in the Pirates Of The Caribbean franchise.

Or, at least, in the loosely affiliated Pirates Of The Caribbean-branded, films-based-on-theme-park-rides universe, or whatever you want to call it, as THR notes that this new movie will reportedly have absolutely zero connection to any of Disney’s earlier Pirates films. Instead, it will be “a wholly original story with new characters under the Pirates moniker,” with no associations with any actors or characters who might have, you know, previously been associated with that name.

The film—also distinct, as it happens, from Chernobyl’s Craig Mazin’s own attempts to “reboot” the franchise, which is also theorized to be intended, at least in part, to de-Depp-utize the still-lucrative brand—is the second team-up between Robbie and Hodson, who also put together an initiative in 2019 to encourage studios to hire more female-identifying writers. Between the pair of them, they’ve had quite a bit of Hollywood success of late; Robbie’s coming off a year that saw her star in both Bombshell and Once Upon A Time…In Hollywood, while Hodson’s recent credits include Bumblebee and the script for the upcoming The Flash movie. And now pirates! Perfectly fun pirates, who don’t ask about the rum, and who are completely untainted by scandal and allegations, except in the fun, pirate=y sort of way.

So that’s good.

That is something that it's a little surprising doesn't already exist. The Gotrek and Felix books were really fun and lend themselves to adaptation, being mostly a fairly normal dude seeing the weirdness of the Warhammer world, which is basically lord of the rings but rewritten by a sugared up teenager.

Henry Cavill should play Commissar Gaunt or Cain in a 40k movie. Cain has a lot of personality so I think Cavill could shine and they're both giant melee fightlords and he'd get to use a chainsaw sword.

Putting him as the Emperor or a space marine or something would be a waste since they tend to skew towards bland. Emperor would just be him as Superman again but now with pauldrons.

If your Sherlock Holmes has human emotions instead of being a robotic automaton, he isn't public domain, according the Doyle estate:


quote:

In the latest lawsuit, the Doyle Estate alleges that the difference between the public domain stories and the copyrighted ones is emotions.

"After the stories that are now in the public domain, and before the Copyrighted Stories, the Great War happened," states the complaint. "In World War I Conan Doyle lost his eldest son, Arthur Alleyne Kingsley. Four months later he lost his brother, Brigadier-general Innes Doyle. When Conan Doyle came back to Holmes in the Copyrighted Stories between 1923 and 1927, it was no longer enough that the Holmes character was the most brilliant rational and analytical mind. Holmes needed to be human. The character needed to develop human connection and empathy."

And so Sherlock "became warmer," continues the complaint, setting up the question of whether the development of feelings is something that can be protected by copyright and whether the alleged depiction of Sherlock in Enola Holmes is somehow derivative.

This isn't the first time that the Doyle Estate has attempted to leverage the last remaining stories. In 2015, the plaintiff sued Miramax over Mr. Holmes, a suit that was later settled.

https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/thr-esq/conan-doyle-estate-sues-netflix-coming-movie-sherlock-holmes-sister-1300108

Also Doyle has no living direct descendants so these are like second cousins at best running the Doyle estate.

You all remember the 1985 movie D.A.R.Y.L., the movie about the robotic boy named D.A.R.Y.L. that my fondest memories of are having a babysitter whose brother was named Darryl so he was excited about the film and seeing an ad for it in one of the early issues of The Transformers comics. No idea if I ever saw it. Anyway, it's getting a sequel starring Tony Hale.

For comedy-leaning TBS, he's developing a sequel to 1985 sci-fi feature D.A.R.Y.L., starring Veep grad Tony Hale;


That's all we know at this point, I am assuming Hale will take over the role of the robot kid as an adult but who knows, this is TBS original movie territory!

I asked this before, but why didn't they sue the Enola Holmes book's author and publisher 14 years ago? They're clearly in it for the money.

There's also the implication that any derivative work of fiction not approved by the original creator can be released without their permission as long as you change some fundamental thing about it. Like that Nazi alt universe My Little Pony.

Despite it doing well in China they probably made a mistake filming WC1. A movie based on WC3 would have been a lot more popular.

It could have even been a nice Arthas trilogy with a movie each for WC3, FT, and WotLK.

Honestly I am far more entertained by that whole series than if I had gotten into the actual Warhammer 40K as a serious hollywood type story. It does a better job with that universe than what mistakes I predict Hollywood production would make.

The best thing would be a Sherlock Holmes movie where the beginning is Sherlock Holmes starting his day then he goes and meets some old friend who also solves mysteries for coffee then the rest of the movie is a mystery story starring that old friend because the script was originally entirely about that unrelated character and then it just had the beginning scenes welded on.

We never see Sherlock Holmes again for the rest of the movie. Though it's heavily marketed as a Sherlock Holmes movie a new Sherlock Holmes adventure and it's even called "Sherlock Holmes: something something"

And then at the end, when the old friend rushes to confront the murderer, Holmes is already there.

Heck, make it a series about London's second best detective arriving at crime scenes Holmes already puzzled out offscreen.

I remember exactly three things about that movie: the robot is really good at baseball, he steals an SR-71, and Dabney Coleman. And Dabney Coleman wasn't even in D.A.R.Y.L, he was in Cloak & Dagger, the movie about an Atari cartridge full of espionage material.
