Wrong, it's Ludlum. Ludlum will have his heroes attacked by random goons, write a cool karate fight, then have his heroes break down who the random goons are, how they knew where to find the heroes, and why they attacked at that moment, just to prove that he put the work in.

I think as recently as like ten years before his death Clancy had stopped writing completely and there was just a bunch of authors writing stuff under the TOM CLANCY'S brand. I know there was at least stuff coming out "by him" in 2015. There were plenty of books based on the various games with his name on them but these were just called TOM CLANCY'S SPLINTER CELL: GHOST SOLDIER or whatever stupid subtitle and would have the actual author credited on the cover too.

Crichton had a bunch of manuscripts or fragments of them left over. There's one coming out this summer about fossil hunting. Pirate Latitudes, one of the books from the Walmart/Amazon pissing match, was another posthumous Crichton book and is supposedly going to get adapted as a movie sooner than later.

Dean Stockwell vs Cousin Balki is the greatest drama. I feel like King tv adaptations really capture the spirit and feel of the 90s better than a lot of things.

Casimir Radon posted:Clancy had a bunch of stuff published under his name while he was still writing, like Net Force, and Op Center. Then he stopped writing around 2003 and those continued. He came back a year or two before he died and co-wrote a couple or more books with some other guy. How involved he really was is debatable. Apparently the politics were absolutely insane so maybe he did have some say. They're going to continue slapping his name onto video games forever until the point where nobody knows who this guy is anymore. Pirate Latitudes is the most generic and cliched pirate adventure story, and also somehow intensely boring and poorly written. I don't remember anything about the story, but I suspect that Crichton wrote it in middle school. I can see why he wouldn't have published it while he was alive.

It's a show that Matt Berry and Rich Fulcher did and it is super out there because the BBC gave them complete freedom to do whatever they wanted as they just needed a 6 episode show to fill a timeslot.

http://www.slashfilm.com/edge-of-tomorrow-2/quote:When Edge of Tomorrow hit theaters back in 2014, it wasn’t as big of a success as Warner Bros. Pictures hoped. The sci-fi blockbuster pulled in $100 million at the domestic box office with another $270 coming from the rest of the world for a total of $370 million, which isn’t bad for a movie on a budget of $178 million, but it wasn’t a runaway hit. Still, a sequel was put into development last year with director Doug Liman back behind the camera and Race writers Joe Shrapnel and Anna Waterhouse scripting the sequel.

Love Die Repeat Have one of those three bar movie posters. Top bar is Cruise wooing Banks. Middle is the Tom getting exploded or monster murdered. The third is the first again but Tom is looking at the audience bemusedly.

got any sevens posted:I'm curious what the hell he means by changing how sequels work They said it'd be "both a sequel and a prequel", which would likely involve some creative new use of the alien Groundhog Day powers (as if the ending of the first movie didn't confuse us enough as to how said powers operate). And how's this for a WTF sequel? Mary Poppins Returns What chance do you suppose that has of not sucking?

Please. I've seen Snuff Box and every season of Toast of London. The main thing I like about Snuff Box is how many jokes are based on bad ADR.

You know, Edge of Tomorrow/LDR getting a sequel is starting to make me think there's a real upside to Hollywood's current desperation for franchises. If that movie (or something equivalent) had come out in 2004, and done similar business, the studio would just think "Okay, that didn't make quite enough money, we didn't lose our shirts but still let's move on." Now, ANY chance that a studio has at a franchise must be explored. We're getting an Edge of Tomorrow sequel, a Pacific Rim sequel, all because, hey, it made *some* money so maybe we'll make more next time! Like we're not gonna see Lone Ranger 2 but it's kind of interesting nonetheless.
