Turns out Tyrese was right as Universal has added a F&F spinoff starring the Rock and Statham for 2019.


Edit: Also the Death Wish reboot has been pushed back to March.

I was gonna watch Channing Tatum play Gambit no matter who directed it, but Gore seems like a good choice.

Until Fox finds out instead of shooting in New Orleans, Gore intends to built a scale replica of New Orleans. In New Orleans.

Naw, even Leon who was a mental level C had old memories implanted, hence Roy Batty asking him "did you find your precious photos?"

And Deckard likely was the same, hence Gaff knowing that he dreamt of unicorns and leaving the origami unicorn on his doorstep.

e: beaten by ~NMN~ sorta

The unicorns is deliberately ambiguous: the scriptwriter (who thinks Deckard is human) thought it showed that they knew how Deckard thought. Basically, the theme of how humans wer ebecoming mroe like replicants while replicants were becoming more like humans.

Which is a nice variation on the tune the book played -- where humans inhabiting earth increasingly became 'robotic' due to their purposeless lives and the post-war culture (religion box, mood-dialer, etc).

Some of this is still in the movie too, the jokey scene with Holden isn't in there, so you get a pretty consistent pattern of the human characters all being terse assholes and the replicant characters all being desperate and passionate. Or how all of the replicants are referred to by first name in the movie while the humans are more impersonally referred to by their last.

Hmmm...
I imagine the message they're taking away is "Cussin and Titties are getting people in seats". Rather than strong creative visions, that are given room to breath, produce interesting movies. And things audiences respond to is something that is both entertaining as well as something new.

This is entirely the lesson, though. It wouldn't surprise me at all if we're entering an era where studios tell some PG13 movies to add a few more swearing/boobs to bump the rating up. Not all (or most), obviously, but a certain percentage.

They tried that with Snakes on a Plane and it didn't work out very well, but maybe that's just because it was a really stupid movie.

True, but SOAP was released ten years before the notion of a broadly successful R Movie would even be considered, with Deadpool doing gangbusters and surprising everyone*. Plus, I think SOAP also an experiment into finding if the weirder parts of the internet could support a film (it couldn't).

* Somewhat off-topic, but I've always felt a significant chunk of Deadpool's success was due in part to there being no competition for a while after its release. Can't be arsed to look up the details, but I know I saw Deadpool more than I otherwise would've (and I loved Deadpool), just because there were no alternatives to see.

I suspect Michael Bay would never work with the MCU because he'd want more money than they would be willing to pay, and he'd want more control over the final picture than they'd be willing to give.

Fox wouldn't hire him just for the money reasons, they'd likely let him do whatever the hell he wanted as long as it was PG-13.

I'd watch both of those movies. Though I suspect Michael Bay can mostly do whatever the hell he wants in the Transformers movies too. "You must have King Arthur and Winston Churchill in the next film," doesn't sound like a studio edict.

I thought that Pain and Gain was pretty good for what it was, a Michael Bay version of Burn After Reading.

I mean you can't watch the first 15 minutes of that and not think that it was intentional self-parody.
