AccountSupervisor posted:Yeah I think I was hoping theyd find a director who would tone down the humor but with Eli on board theyre most likely doubling down on it which is going to be loving obnoxious. Neveldine/Taylor woulda been perfect for this if thats what they wanted, but to also make a decent action film out of it at least. i think Neveldine and Taylor ended their partnership - they haven't worked together since Ghost Rider Taylor's working in TV (Happy! and the upcoming Brave New World show), but it actually doesn't look like Neveldine has had any credits since 2016 Tars Tarkas posted:More likely it would just be people doing live performances of half-remembered blockbusters like the scene in Reign of Fire where they perform Star Wars for the kids. There was also an NPR story a few years ago about a play that was the evolution of a performance version of a Simpsons episode with Sideshow Bob and how it changed over the decades in a post-collapse society, but I can't remember the play's name. Mr. Burns, a Post-Electric Play

Macdeo Lurjtux posted:The movie still has a release date of 5/29 so far so the studio is probably banking on life going on as normal by then. there is approximately zero chance of that; i'd assume A24 just hasn't figured out a new date yet. most of the films that have been re-dated are tentpoles, and I think distributors are going to wait to see how the release landscape shakes out before rescheduling

DC Murderverse posted:I can't believe that they had this movie scheduled for literally 17 months from now and were literally just gonna sit on a completed film for all that time it was probably a stipulation by the show's producers to mitigate the impact on live performances. that's now a moot point for a while, of course meanwhile, Russell Crowe stars in the first* wide release post-COVID https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdxDXoODKN8 *if the theaters are actually open at sufficient capacity by July 1st, which is iffy when LA is likely to extend its stay-at-home orders into August which in turn makes the major studios likely to further delay their July releases which in turn delays the viability of theater reopenings

Action Jacktion posted:If you've never heard of the movie, it was supposed to come out in 2018 but got pushed back a couple of times. I guess they decided that releasing it now was as good a time as any.

Tars Tarkas posted:This is floating around as the supposed Space Jam 2 plot the most i've hated a major studio film sight unseen since The Emoji Movie a cynical branding exercise predicated on undeserved nostalgia for another cynical branding exercise also this had a somewhat interesting director who quit/was fired several weeks into filming over "creative differences" FoneBone fucked around with this message at 15:35 on Oct 19, 2020 |

Alan Smithee posted:i know we are all hoping for theater death ala the two party system but ngl im hoping amc A list comes back I loved a-list, saw an average of a movie every week with it for a good while. Can only hope that it (and my AMC theaters) are still around post-COVID I don’t see WB continuing this exact strategy much beyond 2022—not sure that even a very successful streaming service can pull in enough revenue to prop up an entire studio slate—but I don’t think “normal” is coming back, even post-vaccine. Expecting windows will vary from film to film but that VOD within a month or so of release will be about as wide as it gets

Firstborn posted:Is the Green Knight ever coming out A24 redated it last month (for July 31st), but like all theatrical release dates that's aspirational at this point Saint Maud is getting a limited theatrical release at the end of the month, and then going to Epix's streaming service, which I had no idea existed

Baron von Eevl posted:It wasn't even that, it was "people doing things that they're absolutely not going to be doing during lockdown" and then they launched pretty much at the beginning of lockdown. it launched at the worst possible time but i don't think short-form content was ever going to be a good enough differentiator. by and large i think people are fine watching longer content in short spurts also as far as Star Trek goes, Discovery has improved a lot and I actually think season 3 was pretty solid i'm expecting about five more Trek shows to be announced come the 24th (Paramount+ investors day), maybe some of them will be good in 3 or four years

I have no doubt he’s gonna kill it as Hanzo Hasashi. don't forget the 1982 Corey Yuen classic Ninja in the Dragon's Den https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o6kBOYZmQzc (this movie is actually very silly and good)

well why not posted:She's all over S2 and S3, where they try to make her turbo space hitler, literally responsible for 9 figures worth of death a friend of the crew! It's insanely awkward and uncomfortable. but yes she does eat a lot of scenery. Yeah she’s very entertaining in the role but trying to make her an antihero is horrendously ill-conceived

END ME SCOOB posted:And then they lose a second showrunner and the new guy fires Orlando Jones for being too loud and black. Basically the quote given. Season 3 has absolutely nothing to it's name. It spins wheels the whole time and ends on a wet fart and cancelation. Season 3 still has Ian McShane, and that counts for a lot IMO, but.... not much else

Wyatt Russell is, I'm sure, a fine actor, but once I noticed that his voice sounds extremely similar to that of Timothy Simons (Jonah from Veep) I am going to have a hard time taking him seriouslyMacdeo Lurjtux posted:Is it the same reboot that had that anime spin off from the animation studio that did MD Geist? i don't think that had anything to do with the reboot - that movie predated Lionsgate* getting the remake rights by a year or so *technically it was Summit which was then acquired by Lionsgate a few years later but who cares

Baron von Eevl posted:The Phantom is bad but The Shadow is very good. eh, I'd say Phantom is pretty fun. though the Shadow is definitely the better of the retro-pulp flops of the 90s. no movie with this exchange can be terrible https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KMRSnm3I5k (The Rocketeer is probably the best of the 90s' retro-pulp flops, but that's not based on vintage source material)
