Taste is overrated. Yr making movies about racists and murderers why the gently caress do you want it to be tasteful? What does a tasteful Manson family movie even look like? Probably real dumb

I can see a Manson film as brutally dark with possibly black comedy elements as an exploration of how hosed up people can get and how sociopathic predators can prey on and influence people, though I dunno if there'd be much for Tarantino's preferred style to work with. I have no idea how he'd do a Star Trek movie and totally want to see it.

got any sevens posted:John Waters Manson Family Lady Divine: What about you, Mr. Angel? What about those house-robbings and how about Sharon Tate! How about that! Mr. David: I told you to never bring that up again. I cannot remember it and I will not. Lady Divine: Had a real ball that night, didn't you? Mr. David: STOP IT! Lady Divine: If I didn't know any better I'd swear you were having an orgy! Mr. David: Well, you were there, too! Lady Divine: Ah, but I didn't do what YOU did - P-I-G! You're going to jail. If I go to jail, it'll be for other things, and if I go to jail, I just might start remembering. I just might crack that Tate case for them - what have I got to lose!

Just to offset some of the negativity; the early part of the trailer where they're talking up the rescue op and treating the dinos as a doomed species was interesting. It's just when they start doing the generic DUNDUNDUN action-survival while clumsily overlaying the theme that things fall apart.

Shageletic posted:Sorry to say, Robert Rodriguez directed it. Same, Cameron was talking about doing Battle Angel even when the comic was still going in the early 90s. There's actually a few homages to specific panels from it in his Dark Angel TV series. I don't know if anyone here has read the comic but holy poo poo I loved that stuff, it holds up really well too. In the early 00s Cameron was talking about it being PG-13 and everyone having blue robot fluid instead of blood, so I was wary about it since then. Half the appeal of the action in it is that it has Terminator 1/2 cyborgs getting bloodily ripped apart and various body horror moments of like, the Robocop lung scene would be baseline. Elysium drew comparisons to Battle Angel early on because of some similarities in the setting, but it was also similar for stuff like Sharlto Copely's entire head getting caved in and then getting regenerated graphically like it's no big. But man I wish there was a way to give the 1984 to 1994 era James Cameron a 2017 budget and effects technology.

I was watching Chappie and thinking he's do an excellent Appleseed adaptation. I was even thinking Ninja and Yolandi could be those two cyborg mercenaries with the claymores that get torn apart by Briareos (whose played by The Rock with prosthetics and CGI).

Biggest issue with Tarantino doing Trek is there just isn't enough good old foreign scifi movies for him to steal from except maybe The Green Slime and Starcrash. Though i fully expect him to steal the boots scenes from Star Trek 6.

Hateful Eight is fine but it was still pretty Tarantino-y. It ain't exactly his After Hours or Kundun or Age of Innocence. He's not the most flexible filmmaker With the Manson stuff it's not so much about "taste" as it is having the filmmaker most likely to make it so stylized that the murderers are glorified in some way.

feedmyleg posted:Rumor is it's all about resolving the Abrams-verse timeline with the OG timeline and the ethical implications of people existing in multiple universes, based on some comments he made on a podcast a few years back. That was the original story and script that Bob Orci and his bobos wrote for what eventually became Beyond -- a group of renegade Vulcans found some leftover red matter and were going to detonate it to restore the Prime timeline. The script was apparently so terrible that it got everyone flat-out fired. All we know about Abrams' original pitch for Star Trek 4 was that it would bring back Chris Hemsworth as George Kirk.

Apparently Cameron is hard at work on Avatars 2-4 training his child actors to be able to hold their breath for 2-3 minutes at a time so they can film ridiculous underwater poo poo. This will surely end well.

I'm choosing to believe the Jurassic World 2 trailer is bad because they accidentally made a good movie. For example: Dr. Ian Malcolm seems to have converted to Messianic Evangelical Christianity on his deathbed for some reason.

He's not the most flexible filmmaker I think Tarantino has stated that the film isn't explicitly about the Manson murders but characters living in LA contemporary to the murders. I think Django unchained handled violence pretty well. All the violence directed at the oppressors was really cool and stylised but all violence directed at slaves was horrific and shot in a much rawer way.

I'm actually liking the presumably-unintentional subtext that Jurassic World was garbage, and they're scrounging through it for good ideas. I also like that this metaphorical trash fire is a straight up Sharknado (Dinosolcano!) mockbuster version of... Matt Reeves' Planet Of The Apes prequels???
