Mama Mia 2: Here we Go Again with a post trailer cameo reveal that left me shaking

I would like to point out that, apparently, Cher (age: 71) is the mother of Meryl Streep (age: 68).

What the gently caress?

Hahha. That's not even believable, who'd look at Meryl Streep and think she was that much younger than Cher?

That's hilarious. I was definitely confused when she popped up as the grandmother. I mean, it's not like she's a Sean Connery type where looking 80 has been her thing for decades.

Again, Disney won't have access to the Fox properties until some time after the acquisition closes, which won't be until early 2019 at the absolute soonest. Wolverine is not showing up in a movie that opens next May.

That was problem with Sabotage for me They weren't dirty. It was the first and only time they had stolen money, in hopes to pay off a ransom. It wouldv'e been more interesting if they were truly dirty

Doesn't Logan take place at least a decade from "now"? So if he could be in Infinity War, he could?

Yeah, Cher looks very good for her age, she’s definitely not getting type-cast as “grandma”. poo poo, they could probably say the two of them are sisters and that would make so much more sense.

I remember an article MST3K's Mike Nelson wrote about the Streisand film "The Mirror Has Two Faces" where Streisand cast Mimi Rogers, who's fifteen years younger than her, to play her older sister

I'm so confused as to why they didn't just grab the Shadowrun license for $250 and go with it. Like, if you're gonna put orcs and elves in your film, gimme some goddamn magitek at least! Bright just looks like your bog-standard cop movie but with a Fairy Lives Matter joke in the trailer and Will Smith gold plating a new sink.

Placing it into an actual cyberpunk future would have costed additional millions and millions. While Netflix hates having money, cyberpunk has little appeal outside of hardcore nerd crowd these days

Netflix is working on their own cyberpunk series though, an adaptation of Altered Carbon. I guess they probably wouldn't want to counter-program themselves.

I don't think counter-programming is really a thing in the Netflix model. If you like X they want to give you a million things just like X. Like 'Dark' and 'Stranger Things'. Plus with the way they release things all at once, they can stagger the release of similar shows.

Yes but he has not made that decision with Avatar money backed up to his house with a "Do whatever the gently caress you want-get out of jail free card" indecent proposal yet. If they get Picard and McKellan to cave and along with the rest of the MCU cast to talk to him, Hugh will say sure why not gently caress it.

I'm sure it'll go like

RDJ: "Dude, come on bro, work with us."
Chris: "Please, I'm sick of all this poo poo and them calling me to talk to you and giving me all this money. I don't even like Captain America."
Chris 2: "Dude, we'll do our roles drunk."
Chris 3: "Which one am I? I forget."
Stewart: "Hugh I know what I said...but I was full of poo poo. Have you seen what this money can buy? Help me out, I'm an old man."

When fans and Marvel talk about the X-Men joining the MCU, they're not really talking about any of the actors but just the characters themselves. Marvel probably save a lot by just casting whoever they want and people will still flock to the theaters to watch it.

Shared universe can work and work very well but Marvel establishes their foothold properly for family entertainment and built a sort of brand of approvals with their name. People seem to know what to expect from their studio movies and it satisfies them. Even the others work well as far as money but it doesn’t have the prestige or desired buzz like Marvels brand does.

Marvel doesn’t even do the shares universe as well as it could be done to achieve potential even.

And shared universe has even been done in TV before and well, they’re called crossovers.

The ancient Greeks were doing crossovers thousands of years ago, the story of Jason and the Argonauts was basically the Avengers of its time. :v:

The 'Marvel Method' shared universe is slightly different in that it was a shared universe right from the very first movie, every other shared/crossover universe before that was made from sticking pre-existing IPs together. Even the DCEU didn't start out as a shared universe, MoS was a standalone film right up until the week of release when DC announced they'd be fasttracking a sequel and it wasn't until the following month that they announced that it would include Batman and was building up towards Justice League. They'd been wanting to create a shared universe for a while (Green Lantern was supposed to kick it off but bombed) but they kept quiet until they were able to gauge audience reactions to MoS before going ahead with it.

While that's true, have to admit, I think Hugh Jackman as Wolverine would be a hella balls more landmark than someone else to pump things up. He IS the character in public perception, even the ultimate comics based on him and imo he made Wolverine interesting.

That being said yeah I hope they recast him interestingly. And it's not entirely out of the realm of possibility depending on the risk of the merger going through they could say "Here's an advance, use these characters, just give some kickbacks in return." or something.

Wait. So is this just a Tarantino associates with Star Trek thing but only directs is a producer or is this a writer makes a first pass at this poo poo then Tarantino goes whole hog writing dialog, script, directing, etc. ? Cause if it's just to get his name on something while he doesn't do much it's disappointing. R rated for sake of R rated isn't good. R rated Tarantino complete picture is good.

He hand picked several writers for a writers room, then hand-picked the one from there that would write the script. He's also interested in directing, though who knows if that could ever happen. Many crazier things have this year alone.

I'm guessing that he'd write the script himself if he weren't ramping up for his 1969/Manson film.
