Star Wars: Solo comes out in 5 months and there hasn't been a trailer or anything. The last thing I've seen was from a few months ago when Ron Howard revealed the name of the movie. Is it going to be THAT bad? They're afraid to show anything at all from it.

I'm pretty sure it got delayed to December, as every December until all of us are dead will now contain a Star War

Snowglobe of Doom: Mar 30, 2012; sucks to be right

Yeah they were so set on keeping the May release date that when they changed directors and decided to do 5 weeks of reshoots to fix the 'tone' but it turned out that Michael K. Williams wasn't availableto redo his scenes due to scheduling conflicts they just cut his character from the film altogether rather than wait for him to be available.

Actually they recast the role with Paul Bettany.

I guess technically recast isn�t quite the right word, they scrapped the character Williams was playing and filled his role in the plot with Bettany�s new character. He was only on set a couple weeks so the role must have been tiny.

Which film will be the worst in 2018? Contenders include Ready Player One, Tomb Raider, Pacific Rim: Uprising, Solo, Robin Hood: Origins, A Wrinkle In Time, Alita: Battle Angels, Moral Engines, 50 Shades Freed, Death Wish, Sherlock Gnomes, God's Not Dead: A Light in Darkness, and Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald

Worst can include most disappointing, least amount of risk taking, colossal critical failure, insulting to the audience, ugliest movie, ill-timed release due to current events, box office bombing, cast member is a rapist, or studio destroyed by fraud related to the movie.

Without looking into it, I really hope the next God�s Not Dead film follows up on the side plot point of the US government subpoenaing sermons from pastors and one of them refusing to give his up. Because �the federal government is censoring sermons� is the dumbest bullshit that series will have concocted and gives me even more reason to hate its dumb, incessant whining.

Do they get into the fact that he purchased a disable black woman as a slave, and then put her on display? And that, even though she was quite elderly, lied and said she was over 100 years old as well as George Washington's wet nurse? And when abolitionists were picking up steam he lied and said she was a freed woman, trying to raise money to free her (nonexistent) family? And that people just threw money in support of helping her family? And when she died he sold tickets to her autopsy (so the medical world could learn her secrets of long life)? And when the newspapers reported the autopsy's findings (that she was no more than 80 at best), he paid off competing newspapers to report that the autopsy was a sham and that the 100+ year woman was still alive?

gently caress Barnum and gently caress that movie.

Somebody needs to make a movie about this Barnum. The real Barnum. Maybe make it a parody of Greatest Showman.

In the book she gets kidnapped and there's a thriller plot of Christian trying to get her back. And I know she gets knocked up at some point and he gets super pissed at her because she's supposed to be on birth control but at the end everything gets solved and they get married and have two kids and live happily ever after

Ghost Leviathan: Mar 2, 2017; Exploration is ill-advised.

Mortal Engines is one of the more entertainingly insane post-apocalyptic settings I've read. And it also has Terminators. And at the end of the first book the protagonist admits that they didn't really accomplish much.

I'm just going off my interest and previews, I haven't looked to see how the production on any of these is going; worst to best according to being aware of my tastes:

50 Shades Freed
Alita: Battle Angels
Sherlock Gnomes
Robin Hood: Origins (Robin Hood is a dumb and bad story although I haven't heard of anything about this movie so I'll put it lowest on the tier of movies I haven't heard of)
God's Not Dead: A Light in Darkness (haven't heard of it)
Death Wish (haven't heard of it)
Moral Engines (no clue)
Pacific Rim: Uprising
Ready Player One
Tomb Raider
A Wrinkle in Time
Solo
Fantastic Beasts

What I heard is that the production was hosed behind the scenes. With stuff like having to hastily rewrite the entire thing right before shooting because Hunnam dropped out at the last minute.
