porfiria posted:Well that or get a nonwhite person to write and direct, I guess. That's oddly vague. It's important to be specific. Otherwise, you would petition for the Lion King remake to go 'back to its roots' as a Kenyan folktale. We need a Kenyan guy to direct, right? No such folktale is exists; Simba was originally a manga/anime character, voiced by a Japanese woman. Also he's from 1950s Tanzania.

You're missing the point: the only way to make a proper Alladin film is to make it more historically inaccurate. The fatal flaw of the 1992 film is not that its star is white; it's that they invented a fictional country to excuse the Hollywood horseshit. "Agrabah" is nonsense; the movie is set in part of Ottoman Empire 'near the Jordan River', around 1600 - probably Palestine. With that established, go fuckin crazy with the 300-style cave trolls and such.

This is idiotic but a massive improvement for Disney, who gave us a Prince of Persia movie where basically the entire cast was white except for Ben Kingsley who is half Indian. Still too idiotic for me to ever see the movie though.

I'm more interested in seeing a MGS movie than another Star Wars movie, which isn't a diss Star Wars, it's just that it's been done. Adapting Kojima to film is something I'd really like to see.

The thing with star wars is, it needed to be taken away from Lucas badly, but Disney was the wrong choice, completely. I just want to see something unique done in the franchise that doesn't suck poo poo. The prequels blow a rancid load, but at least Lucas was thinking like someone with an imagination. "I'm going to tell a new story instead of remaking the same one over and over" and disney is the exact opposite. I am really sure TLJ will match Empire story beat for story beat and tone. The only one I have doubts about is episode 9 matching the tone of episode 6, since ROTJ was kind of a mess and easily the most disposable of the original trilogy. But a director just left, probably because disney wasn't really going to let him do his job, and are keenly interested in taking zero risk, which means it will probably be very ROTJ-ish.

basic hitler posted:But a director just left, probably because disney wasn't really going to let him do his job, and are keenly interested in taking zero risk, which means it will probably be very ROTJ-ish. This part I doubt. Trevorrow seems like the kind of director who would do whatever the producers wanted (see: Jurassic World). So they either bumped him because of Book of Henry, he left because of the reaction to Book of Henry or, as someone mentioned in another thread, Disney likes The Last Jedi and wants someone who will follow that closer. I mean, you're absolutely right that they'll be taking zero risk and it'll probably end up being very ROTJ.

Metal Gear is already kind of Star Wars in the modern day.Peanut President posted:Metal Gear Solid the Romantic Comedy. It's not already? But I do think the time is right for a Metal Gear movie. I kept hoping the last Bond flick would turn into Metal Gear. They had a whole thing going for Bond and Bloefeld as Solid and Liquid.

jokes aside, I can't wait to see what Taika Waititi does next. If Ragnarok is nearly as good as it looks in the promo materials, dude should have a blank cheque for his next project. I'm excited for one of these movies to actually be funny too. The other Marvel movies don't do much for me, humour-wise, while the shorts he's made for Ragnarok + his previous movies are much more my type of humour. It's a fairly dry sort of humour, very common in NZ / Australia and I think it works well with Hemsworth in the lead.

Yeah, that's the benefit of working with a well-oiled machine like Marvel, I guess. He's basically guaranteed a hit, he'll have a better time getting his next movie off the ground, and it actually didn't take up too much time. As a bonus, it looks all right. On the flip side, it feels like Rian Johnson has been working on The Last Jedi for a drat decade.

There's a surprising amount of Australian superheroes in cinema. A little odd, given I recall some writers talking about how two Western countries- Australia and Germany- are ones where the traditional hero narrative is rarely found in native works, though they'll happily enjoy such narratives produced by other countries. Germany obviously has understandable issues with black-and-white morality tales, while Australians just seem to prefer antiheroes for the most part.

American TV has trained us all to do the accent, too. Narratively, our biggest national ""hero"" is a dude who shot a bunch of cops, built some armour and eventually got hanged. Doesn't exactly mesh with Campbell's heroes.

He fights alongside jets, tanks, helicopters and, once or twice, a satellite system. It's only a matter of time before drones or bigdogs show up as stuff henchmen get churned up by. Walking tank is the next step after that.
