IX is going to be the conclusion of the 7-8-9 trilogy, so I figure Disney wants to make as big a deal out of it as possible by releasing it in the summer.

May 24th is also Memorial Day weekend. It's basically kicks off the summer season.

I can't wait to see how they try to handle the Liea stuff in episode 8, they seemed to be banking on her being a fairly important character in the last movie. Did they ever say how much of her scenes they finished before Carrie's death?

Just CGI Fisher onto Max von Sydow's head and replay the beginning of Episode 7 at the beginning of Episode 9. It's like poetry.

Yeah, everyone assumed TFA was going to be in May at first, but it clearly needed as much time as possible so they put it off as long as they could while keeping it in 2015. I believe Rogue One and Episode 8 were each originally May releases at first announcement and only later got pushed back. Even the Han Solo movie for next year was originally announced for May, then Disney went through a period of only saying 2018, before again committing to May.

They're pretty much out of of "politically correct" Narnia books to adapt. Except for the Silver Chair (which is funnily enough the least religious of the whole series) they have the one that's the Book of Genesis, the one where Aslan sends a ton of people to hell. and the one about a Muslim boy learning how awesome Jesus is.

Which I always found odd, since most Muslims would agree to that in the first place, as he is the last Prophet before Mohammed and thus pretty rad for them. Also, his mother Mary is basically the most revered and respected woman in the whole Quaran.

I looked up the BBC series on Youtube which I hadn't seen since elementary school in the 90s. We thought it was silly and cheap back then. I don't think you could even show it to kids today. I also learned that ITV had a series in 1967 that looks even worse.

Narnia doesn't feel particularly coherent at all when reslly look at it. Mostly it feels like Lewis just went and started bashing keys about whatever he was pissed about that day. The three books everyone reads at some point are fine but when you start to realize what he's getting at it all kind of falls apart.

It's the book where the protagonists are only ever in danger because the female lead's sense of self-preservation causes her to not follow Aslan's commands fully enough.

Universal 1440 posted:

Burt Gummer (Michael Gross) and his son Travis Welker (Jamie Kennedy) find themselves up to their ears in Graboids and rear end-Blasters when they head to Canada to investigate a series of deadly giant-worm attacks. Arriving at a remote research facility in the artic tundra, Burt begins to suspect that Graboids are secretly being weaponized, but before he can prove his theory, he is sidelined by Graboid venom. With just 48 hours to live, the only hope is to create an antidote from fresh venom — but to do that, someone will have to figure out how to milk a Graboid!

The 3 direct to video sequels were quaint, seeing as they had involved the writers from the original to carry on with the scripts. Tremors 5 didn't have them involved at all, and it was awful. It was as if they forgot they were supposed to be humorous (and no, adding Jamie Kennedy doesn't count as humor)

Yeah. Last word about it was that it was going to be a 10-episode miniseries on Amazon and it looks like it'll possibly ignore the sequel (and prequel?) films and the first tv series. :shrug:

Andrew Miller posted:

The Kevin Bacon character is now 25 years older, a horrible loser in this town that had a brief moment of glory in the 80s or 90s and is now worse off than it was before. The town is coming face to face with failure. It’s also a Donald Trump story in that it’s the notion of nostalgia as a drug that’s killing us and looking back on a time – the longer you look at that time in the mirror without accepting reality, these monsters start to grow beneath the surface. In this case it’s these worms that are literally growing beneath the surface. People are trying to get over these traumas and both empower themselves and put themselves in great danger. I think we’re not processing trauma as healthily right now as we could be. I find myself not processing trauma as well as I ought to be and feel like I’m the star of my own horror movie sometimes.

It could even have a small section devoted to Wesley Snipes and his taxes (or the lack thereof).

Depp probably would like that. He's dressed up as Sparrow for non-Disney stuff too before this.

He's also starring in a movie made by a 16-year-old cancer patient, along side JK Simmons, Laura Dern, and David Lynch, directed by Sam Raimi, Catherine Hardwicke, and Ted Melfi.
