I don't know how playing Lara Croft be considered a that much of a downgrade for Ridley. Wasn't one of her early roles playing a naked corpse on an autopsy table?

site posted:I hope Daisy's not in tomb raider because that movie will suck and she doesn't deserve to get drug down so early in her career. A rawer and more toned down Tomb Raider compared to the two Jolie movies would probably be really good but it will be overblown crap like those two movies. The 2013 Tomb Raider game that restarted the character has a few small nods to First Blood in the early game, a Tomb Raider flick closer to like First Blood or The Hunted with light supernatural stuff in it could make for a rad movie that would still be unique compared to the general action adventure flick.

SolidSnakesBandana posted:Can someone explain whats up with Ike Perlmutter? First I'm hearing the name and not sure what I'm looking for on Google. Other people have answered this but essentially he was one of the 'Creative committee' at Marvel while Kevin Feige was the go-between. He was notoriously tight fisted, even while Marvel movies were an extraordinary success and has made it a headache for some filmmakers (The whole Ant-Man debacle was essentially a fight between Edgar Wright and the creative committee). He supposedly told people that "black people look the same" when discussing Don Cheadle replacing Terence Howard. He made his money in toys, and was reportedly the reason that no Black Widow figures existed, because as he believed it girls didn't buy toys. When Disney bought Marvel the creative committee was disbanded and Perlmutter was given a role overseeing the comic and TV side of the business and is allegedly the main reason why there's no crossover. As the article noted, it's easier for Marvel to strike a deal with a separate studio than it is with themselves

Perlmutter was never a committee member; the committee was entirely staffed by Marvel writers. Talent's problem with Perlmutter was more that pumping for a little bit more money once they laid out the budget was next to impossible and he would also often, with Feige, essentially re-edit the pictures without input from them. This is the sort of stuff that has put him at cross points with Downey, who is big on letting directors and editors and other talent do what they're hired to do. It's why his post-Iron Man contract renegotiation gave him things like a full-fledged producer's power on his future Marvel movies (which is how Shane Black even got the chair for IM3 - Downey wanted to pay him back for hiring him at a low point in his career as well as basically guruing the first Iron Man into what it was) and why he's constantly wielded the power he's had in the company to do things like knock his co-star's pay up for Avengers sequels. When Downey slipped into Cap 3 (which he negotiated himself into through Disney directly), Perlmutter wanted to kill his contract since Downey isn't cheap ($30 million and first-dollar gross points - and that's not including producer's pay) and with him joining the cast a lot of Perlmutter's control went out the window (because, again, RDJ in the cast puts him and Susan, his wife, in producer roles as per his standard contract these days). As you can imagine, that was the thing Feige was able to bring to Horn to oust Perlmutter from the film side of the company and make the direct line of ascension for Marvel movies be Feige -> Horn instead. Because what better way to look like a lunatic than to scream about wanting to gut the golden goose of the company because it wants to lay more eggs. When this happened and Feige was put at the head of film production for Marvel, he disbanded the creative committee. But that committee was around well into the Disney era and probably still exists to a degree for the TV side of things (at least for Agents of SHIELD). Otherwise, the other Perlmutter stuff - the "black people" comment, the refusal to produce Black Widow or Peggy Carter toys until the last year or so, the penny-pinching and whatnot - yeah, that's all true. He's the reason Favreau dumped out on directing Avengers after IM2 got railroaded, why Branagh and even Joe Johnston walked away despite options available for both to do Thor and Cap sequels, and why at this point it's incredibly difficult for Marvel to get directors above a certain level to make their movies - Ryan Coogler is probably their first director since Branagh with some real acclaim behind him coming in. Most directors have learned a lesson about getting caught in the Marvel machine. It's also why Lucasfilm is operating in a completely different direction, with a wide berth for creatives to work in (which would make sense given Kathleen Kennedy's career basically being Amblin and Kennedy/Marshall, both of which operated under that dogma and were quite successful).

Ironically, the only reason these movies even exist the way they do is because the same guy managed to convince Lehman Brothers to give Marvel Enterprises the $750 million loan that let them produce the Phase 1 films, and that was basically him going "look, I licensed out these two properties (X-Men and Spider-Man) and they've more than returned any investment you would be placing on this by themselves. I have like ten properties here that could do the same."

The first critic comments about Civil War are starting to come out. They are just able to give Twitter comments, but full reviews should be out soon. The biggest points: - Overall impression is very good. - Chadwick Boseman, Spiderman, and William Hurt all have relatively small, but breakout roles. - Spiderman is only in the movie for about 10-15 minutes, but he is getting a lot of praise. - Lots of people commenting that Marvel has finally made a movie where the 3rd act is by far the strongest act. The climax scene is getting rave reviews and apparently has not been shown in any preview material yet. - There are multiple ending stingers. - People are noting that Chris Evans gives a really emotional performance and that his dialogue scenes are much better than his action scenes. - Paul Rudd has great dialogue and physical performances. - Some people are upset and some are happy, but they are saying that the movie is 50% Cap, 30% Tony, and 20% all other characters. So, it is definitely a Cap and Tony focused movie and the other characters all have around 10-15 minutes of screentime in a 2:35 movie. Don't expect tons of Scarlet Witch, Spiderman, or Vision.

Yoshifan823 posted:That said, I feel like I don't buy Batman being in SS that much, unless "more prominent" means that his specter looms large over the movie. We know he's in the movie in some aspect related to the Joker, it would totally make sense if a bunch of the other guys have had run-ins with The Bat. The Suicide Squad animated movie "Assault on Arkham"(prequel to the Arkahm games), has a lot of Batman in it. This movie at least seems partially inspired by it so I wouldnt be suprised if they incorporate Batman in a similar way.

Mazzagatti2Hotty posted:That's great to hear, those were my biggest concerns going into Civil War Yeah same exact reaction here. I'm a little interested to see how the reaction to Spider-Man will contrast with the reaction to Wonder Woman since it seems like they have similar roles (show stealers who are only in the film for a few scenes) but I will keep it in my pants until then.
