People weren't too fond of the Emoji Movie parodying Handmaid's Tale, so they probably made the right call there.

It's embargoed until tomorrow when the trailer comes out. There's a strategy to the release and an order. When something gets leaked it makes our system and our people look bush league and lacking security. It's embarrassing, basically. That said, it's generating buzz which is nice for the company but marketing doesn't really get credit for that. Accidentally backing into hype based on your own ineptitude doesn't have a silver lining for the marketing department. All that said at least it wasn't the mechanical or layered art, it's just an impression of the art itself. It will be pretty easy to track down the leak and then at least one head will roll.

Ah, okay. I was just seeing links that talked about how it revealed Jean Grey as the villain, which seemed odd when the existing trailer already did that. It being embarrassing professionally makes sense.

Looked it up. Are they seriously dressing Phoenix exactly as they did Phoenix is X-Men 3? Who the gently caress came up with this awful poo poo?

Well this is directed by the same guy who produced X-men 3: Simon Kinberg. The thing about reboots is that they don't work if it's being made by the same shitheads every time.

Simon Kinberg wrote The Last Stand, not produced. But, yeah, this is his first time directing, attempting to "do it right" this time, which apparently means a remake with a worse cast. It's going to be awful.

She's a fifty-five year old woman, there is no way the studio wouldn't replace her at this point. And I'm not saying I agree, just the sad reality.

I'm confused. Is the new X-men movie just a retelling of the same story from the third one? And if so, why? Isn't it set before it?

I barely remember Turner in the ones that I've seen but I don't really think of Famke as anything special in the originals, either. Like 90% of her performance was just making this face

It's the single most famous X-Men story, and I guess they figure X3 stunk enough no one's going to get up in arms if they tell it again, but tell it well this time. As for time-lines... who cares?

When I worked at WB as an assistant I always tried to delicately suggest fixing perspective issues when I was in the lightbox because apparently even Executive Vice Presidents are completely blind to them if they never had any art training.
