Wheat Loaf posted:I didn't realise they had their own remake coming out but I shouldn't be surprised. I presume that'll be in 2021? I know Lion King is next year and Aladdin is the year after. There's a Mulan remake in there somewhere too, isn't there? Yeah, Mulan starts shooting soon, and they've also got Dumbo coming next year, Snow White, Alice in Wonderland and Sword in the Stone are being worked on, Emma Stone's starring in a Cruella de Vil origin story movie, I think they're redoing Peter Pan ... after Beauty and the Beast made a hojillion dollars, they're doing pretty much every animated classic they have in live-action.

Wheat Loaf posted:I believe those weren't actually by Disney, and the first one making a billion dollars is apparently what prompted Disney to go, "Oh, poo poo, we're sitting on a goldmine here." No, it was Disney (it was actually the movie that made them start developing Maleficent and Cinderella).

Vintersorg posted:Adam Driver will you be my best friend. At the time, Brian May--who has ordained himself the keeper of Mercury's legacy--wanted Mercury to die halfway through the movie and for the rest of it to focus on how the band has survived since his death. Cohen said that was bullshit and walked away. Reportedly, the movie now ends with the band taking the stage at Live Aid.

Wheat Loaf posted:Remember how one of the big episodes in the movie Ray is Ray Charles being banned for life from entering the state of Georgia when he refuses to play at a segregated venue? That never happened in real life. They made it up, because apparently Ray Charles's actual life wasn't dramatic enough. Walk the Line might be the king of bullshit musician biopics (and I say that as a huge James Mangold fanboy).

Maybe I'm just susceptible to that maudlin stuff, though. Jamie Foxx kills it in Ray, but I'm not at all a fan of Phoenix in Walk the Line; Reese Witherspoon carries that entire movie on her shoulders.

Wheat Loaf posted:Did that Miles Davis biopic that Don Cheadle spent five years learning the play the trumpet for turn out to be any good? It's really horribly written, but he does a phenomenal job as Davis and he's a really good director, too; he has a great eye for staging and framing shots. But I wouldn't recommend it unless you have at least a passing interest in Miles Davis, because in terms of storytelling it's a loving mess.

The simple answer is probably that certain actors (thinking RDJ in particular) have gotten a ridiculous level of creative control, the Russos aren't talented enough or powerful enough to stand up to them and Marvel will back its stars uber alles.

Almost Blue posted:Pooh & Tigger's voices sound normal but the other characters sound weird. Also, who is this movie intended audience? Yeah, that's absolutely Jim Cummings as Pooh and Tigger but it looks like they went with name actors for the other voices: Brad Garrett is Eeyore, Peter Capaldi is Rabbit, Toby Jones is Owl, Sophie Okonedo is Kanga and Nick Mohammed is Piglet. As for the intended audience ... adults desperately trying to recapture their childhood.

Wheat Loaf posted:I think he's had to put his follow-up to Fury Road (Mad Max: War Zone) on indefinite hiatus because of a dispute with Warner Bros. Yeah, he has both a Furiosa script and a straight Fury Road sequel script written, but both projects are tied up in legal hell: Miller and his production company sued Warner, saying that they were due a substantial cash bonus for turning in the movie on-time and under budget; WB counter-sued and said that not only did Miller go vastly over-budget, but his contract said he was to make a PG-13 movie that ran for no longer than 100 minutes. Last I read, both lawsuits are still in the discovery phase and there's no immediate resolution on the horizon.

GonSmithe posted:How do these people get these actors? My friend who went to film school does short films on the side and he was telling me last year they shot a film with Cathy Moriarty and I was just like ??? Don't forget that Star Citizen, potentially the biggest scam in the history of gaming, got people like Gary Oldman, Mark Strong and Anderson. Generally the reason is that with the low budgets, the movies are shot on a, shall we say, aggressive schedule, so the actors only have to be on set for a few weeks at most and it's an easy paycheck. Gillian Anderson, for example, has almost certainly made enough money from The X-Files that she never has to work again, but I'm sure she doesn't mind doing a bullshit project here and there to help building her kids' college funds / inheritances / whatever.

I believe Eric Roberts has a recording booth setup in his house, so if he can do a voiceover role while working from home, he's absolutely fine doing it because it's an almost-free $630 per day.

precision posted:the Addams Family really only works when it stays in their house, because it is canon fact that they are all multiple serial killers. the whole joke is that they're not actually evil in any sense but that their wacky family logic includes doing murders and such like it's NBD It's kind of the other way around. The Addams Family are at their best when they're played in contrast with the normies.

I worked at a med tech startup several years ago as their marketing manager, and as part of orientation the VP of sales had everyone in marketing and sales read Shoe Dog, Phil Knight's autobiography. It's such a self-serving, mealy-mouthed tome that is absolutely awful to read, and it completely sidesteps how terrible and petty Knight was as a manager of people (and how petty he is with his so-called "philanthropy"), and how he's largely responsible for the rise of sweatshops in Asia with workers making pennies an hour, just so American apparel companies can exploit them. He's garbage, and gently caress Phil Knight.
