I was looking at stuff on The Black List recently, and saw some rando seriously trying to shop their Harry Potter script to Hollywood - as in, a screenplay based on an IP they don't own and which is very tightly controlled by its studio. I also spotted spec scripts based on Star Wars, Star Trek and other extremely corporately-owned properties. I know that The Black List is now a business to which anyone can send their script if they have a hundred bucks so they won't reject anything, but are people seriously delusional enough to think "if I show the studio how great a job I can do with their property, they'll surely buy my script and turn my fanfic into an official part of their franchise!"? The answer is obviously yes.

I doubt anyone is seriously doing that. I think it's one of two factors, or a combination of both. First and foremost, if you write something associated with an IP that people are familiar with you'll get more eyes on it. It's not any different from being a hungry artist and doing fan art to drum up awareness of your stuff and stand out from the crowd and hopefully get a real gig out of it. Second, I think some writers are treating them more like TV spec scripts, where they're hoping to show that they're capable of writing a big tentpole film in the hopes of being hired for a gig on another property, as unrealistic as that may be. It's like submitting a Simpsons spec script so you can get hired onto Rick and Morty, which is common industry practice.

Neo Rasa posted:I'm assuming Cruella 2 will be like Malificent where's it will basically be a remake of 101 Dalmations but from her POV? So they can say her wanting to skin a bunch of puppies to make a coat was a misunderstanding or something. Maleficient is also Aurora'a POV. So they really trying to make her the hero by making her victim in the original story her biggest ally in this version.

The answer is obviously yes. Maybe they are hoping it can be like 50 Shades where they file off the licensed stuff and make it its own thing. Not an accurate comparison since he's already a big name director, but Netflix is producing Zack Snyder's Star Wars Seven Samurai script into Rebel Moon.

Sometimes the opposite happens too, they'll look at a script and think it's similar enough to something that they adapt it into a sequel.

Shadowhunters is a spinoff of Mortal Instruments, which was based on a fanfic series about Draco Malfoy. I also remember one Netflix movie adapted from a Wattpad fanfic about Harry Styles. Now I'm just waiting for someone to adapt the numerous fanfics about One Direction living through The Purge, preferably as part of the actual Purge series.

There's not gonna be a Harry Potter movie where Rowling doesn't make bucketloads of money and then get to spend it on her TERF causes. This is also from September 2020 so whatever it's old news. They should just end the franchise.

Bruce Willis has cracked the code to never have to work again and still be in poo poo movies and get paid. He has licensed his image rights to a russian cellphone company to "star" in this comercial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSUQwwOm3G4 https://www.slashfilm.com/a-deepfake-bruce-willis-is-now-starring-in-russian-phone-commercials/ https://www.inputmag.com/culture/bruce-willis-licensed-his-deepfake-for-a-series-of-russian-mobile-carrier-ads

That's dumb as hell because if you're gonna use a deep fake of Bruce why not do John McClane circa 1988?

I wonder how much it would be to have Willis sign over his post-death image rights. Would he part with them for, say, $50 million? Some studio should really get on that.

I feel like 50 million is pretty high, he'd probably do it for half that. He cares so little now while he's still alive, I find it hard to believe he cares what people do with his image after he's dead.

It's not going to be accurate, but if you're watching in-browser and want to get the keywords you can select auto-generated subtitles, then there's an option to auto-translate to English. Apparently the play on words "tied to work" works in both English and Russian.

Ninja Turtles was sold for 60 mil about 10 years back, I thought that was a steal. But those are four turtles and related folks, and just one Bruce.

Bruce Willis should make a movie playing himself where he signs away his post-death image rights, and then Hollywood starts sending assassins after him while he's just trying to relax.

A movie where Bruce has to beat Steven Seagal in a footrace, both of them spend the whole movie mumbling gravelly from an office chair being pushed by a younger actor.
