How about a biopic about a young JK Rowling? No? Then how about a biopic about John Hughes? A biopic about Anne Frank's father trying to get the diary published? A biopic about the guys in charge of Google?

Edit: A biopic about Elon Musk?

Edit2: A biopic about the couple who created Curious George?

Edit3: A biopic about David Prowse?

Edit4: A biopic about the time that Michael Jordan played baseball, which will probably not involve the conspiracy theory that it was a soft ban from basketball for gambling on games.

I know the guys who wrote the script that has the top spot. Amazing guys and writers, they also just had their spec script Mimi from Rio picked up for production by Ridley Scott/Netflix. They are going to be crazy in demand after these two projects get made.

The New Insincerity

Phanatic posted:

Yes, but the movie is still painting the Germans as the bad guys. Chris Pine is the good guy, escaping from them, the Germans show up on the beach as bad guys trying to recapture them. The *audience's* sympathy is plainly intended to lie against the Germans. The only enemies we see are Germans. It's the Germans who are shown doing all the bad things, like using chemical weapons, shooting their own troops, conquering formerly-picturesque German towns. The allies aren't shown doing anything like that, when of course they did. This has nothing to do with Ares or WW, it's a deliberate choice because the alternative would be to have to deal with WWI as more than just a costume.

Yeah, WW misunderstands what's going on in-universe, but out-of-universe the Germans in this movie are presented exactly as the Nazis are in most WWII films: faceless bad-guy goons who it's okay to kill in great numbers. Basically the antipathy towards Nazis is such a deep part of the cinematic context that it extends retroactively by decades.

That's the idea. The movie is doing everything it can to trick you into thinking Wonder Woman is right when a basic knowledge of history would tell you she's wrong. The fact that it worked so well a lot of people went away from the movie never realizing Wonder Woman killed a whole bunch of innocent people for no raisin notwithstanding.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
I remember the story of getting the Diary of Anne Frank published was an interesting story, although I unfortunately don't remember what it was.

Pretty much. My only guess as to why it's set in WW1 and not WW2 is because the producers were concerned about having a War Bad story set in The Nazi War.

It's because Captain America did that first and they didn't want the bad press of outright copying it.

When you use Germans from any of the WW's in your movie, you are going to be a little less subtle if your goal is to say that not all the Kinda Nazi Uniform-wearing guys are bad. Like, in every scene where one of the non-evil German officers appears he should be cradling a baby or pet a dog and express their affection for freedom.

I wonder if Disney is even going to touch Deadpool. I'm not sure they are going to want a R-rated film franchise be a part of their extended universe. It's probably why there hasn't been a new blade movie. Thankfully, it's probably too late for them to meddle with the sequel.

They don’t seem to mind their Netflix shows brushing pretty close to that R territory. Given how lucrative Deadpool proved, I don’t see them shying away.

There are a lot of reasons not to make a new Blade movie, and I don't think R-rated content is a major one. Blade was an obscure character before Wesley Snipes played him, and Wesley Snipes is now a somewhat less sad and crazy Steven Seagal. Reviving the franchise for the still-difficult mid-budget action movie market is a risky prospect whether you go with him or a new actor.

The Punisher series is technically set in the MCU, although that makes absolutely no sense at all and is not at all credible from a storytelling perspective. It occurred to me a few times while I was watching it, that these deep state ghouls are talking about protecting the American empire and secret unaccountable power and violence, etc. and no one ever mentions that things have changed a little since we found out gods and aliens exist and they attacked New York City. It's an extremely loose continuity, to say the least.

The deal won't close for at least a year, so anything in production right now won't be affected.

Iger said today he sees room for a "Marvel-R" brand for things like Deadpool.

A new Blade could own they can just do what happened in the comics and have Snipes pass the torch and be the new Whistler/heavy hitter weaponsmith dude and have it be about his daughter finding out she was adopted/learning about vampire society/becoming the new Blade. So you could have a violent action movie that still has enough of the generic comic book origin tale plot beats that it could be pitched and sold as a comic book movie first. And I mean yeah that sounds risky but if Disney or any of studios its owns wanted to go for it unless it was complete poo poo it would still be a financial success just from how marketed it would be and the merchandise around that and stuff.

The way they're "in the MCU" is extremely stupid for sure. I know why it's the case because of pettiness between the two people that run Netflix Marvel and movie Marvel but the way they would kind of try to refer to them in the Netflix shows but not really always came off as really stupid outside of Daredevil's first season. I think it works in Netflix's favor that they just don't even try anymore as it got shakier and shakier with each show.

Honestly, the way Spiderman Homecoming went about establishing a lower-level angle on the MCU was great and felt nicely grounded. Much more so than the Netflix shows which only really referenced their connection to the movies only in Daredevil Season 1.
