exquisite tea posted:I wouldn't be surprised but it's still hilarious to me. Confusing Cat Stevens for Sufjan Stevens is basically the musical equivalent of like, thinking the Paul Anderson who made There Will Be Blood was the same guy who directed Aliens vs. Predator, except PTA and PWSA are contemporaries so it's not even that extreme. If you'd never seen either of those movies, or engaged in a conversation about which was which with someone who had seen both of them it would be less surprising.

Lego Ninjago Movie director Charlie Bean is going to direct the live-action/CG Lady and the Tramp for Disney. Not sure if the dogs will be CG or will just have CG mouths, but this guy is an animation director mainly so I'm going to guess all dogs will be 100% fake. Still haven't bothered at all with the Ninjago film so I got no standard of reference here. http://deadline.com/2018/03/charlie-bean-disney-live-action-lady-and-the-tramp-movie-1202345900/

Shia is starring in a movie about himself, with him playing his father and Lucas Hedges (Manchester By The Sea, Three Billboards, Lady Bird) playing Shia circa Even Stevens. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/lucas-hedges-play-shia-labeouf-labeouf-biopic-honey-boy-1094342 Sad he won't return as Indy Jr, though. Current era Shia will likely become an explorer for real, disappear for a year until days before production start, bringing with him Yamashita's gold and the location of MH370.

The entire plot of RP1 is on Wikipedia right now and it sounds like Spielberg saw potential in an action film with references and used RP1 as a jumping off point while gutting most of the garbage. It sounds fine-ish.

Even when Spielberg is literally phoning it in he still makes highly watchable movies so it wouldn't surprise me if RPO wasn't completely terrible, probably no better or worse than any of the comic book movies people write 10,000 word treatises about.

Uncle Wemus posted:Prediction. Jones gets a daughter I predict it will be his niece (however they will retcon siblings in), but it would be the best way to put the Shia LeBeouf debacle behind them with still having a way forward to keep the franchise going forever. Or grand-niece considering Ford's age. Edit: Wait, Shia LeBeouf's daughter and his grand daughter. That would work fine, without too much changing of established history.

I want them to set it immediately following Last Crusade. Get Connery back, too, and just completely ignore their obvious age. Fight the SS occultism head on with a dash of Grumpy Old Men.

It's going to be some Force Awakens poo poo where he gets dragged out of retirement by a young plucky archeology student. e: Ideally the screenwriter actually went back and read/watched some pulp stories this time around, though. Like, how do you get the Jones writing gig and not go pick up a stack of 60s mens magazines and watch a bunch of adventure serials? I feel like that's one of the primary failures of Crystal Skull: it's main inspiration is the previous 3 Indiana Jones movies. It doesn't bother to go back to the source inspiration. At least Darabont's original draft felt like it was inspired by 50s sci-fi stories that were the adventure serials of their respective era. feedmyleg fucked around with this message at 12:05 on Mar 20, 2018 |

Uncle Wemus posted:Prediction. Jones gets a daughter Nah that'd come off like a Lara Croft rip off. Snowman_McK posted:I remember now. A large, elaborate, seemingly significant scene that completely fails to pay off in any significant way. muscles like this! posted:Yeah, I kept expecting there to be a scene which replicated the fight but now Lara figures a way out but it never happened. Frankly the whole thing comes across like it was written exquisite corpse style because nothing builds off anything else and there is no payoff to anything. I counted two times during the last half of the movie where she breaks out of a similar headlock - one time by biting the merc holding her, the second time by doing a backflip over Vogel (and at one point she also got her bag back from the three thieves in Hong Kong by putting one of them in a similar headlock) but they didn't really draw attention to it. Snowman_McK posted:It takes too long to get going. We're not at the island until the movie is more than half over. All the characterisation in the first half could have been done on the island while moving the ball forward, instead of the stupid bike plot filled with characters who promptly disappear. Pretty much every action/adventure movie or Bond movie or whatever has a short action sequence opening scene which establishes the protagonist's abilities. In this movie they needed to establish Lara's tenacity and ability to think on her feet and her ability to evade an army of determined attackers but she's also been completely locked out of the secret stuff her dad was involved in at this point so it had to be some random low stakes event. I guess they also wanted to underline the fact that she was good at all this stuff before she inherited any of her father's wealth or studied any sort of martial arts or had any field experience of any kind, she was kicking asses even before she gained all those advantages.

I heard a while ago that Spielberg (?) was interested in Chris Pratt being involved in Indiana Jones going forward. I don't know if that means he has the idea that the role would be recast with him or if he'd be a successor to Ford or whatever else.

I think the opportunity to recast passed about 20 years ago when Richard Dean Anderson was cast in Stargate instead of "The New Indiana Jones Adventures" or something like that.

Just a reminder that Young Indiana Jones is actually terrific. Just ignore the ones where he's a literal child and skip to when he accidentally gets caught up in the Mexican Revolution, inspiring him to go illegally enlist in WWI before the US enters the war. But yeah, an Indy cartoon that picked up after Young Indy left off would be great. There were some Indiana Jones Adventures comics in 2008 that were pretty good, I could see them just pulling from there and making a good show. Also I think those Chris Pratt rumors were unsubstantiated and were very likely just born from fan speculation.

If it was just some random Hollywood action movie franchise then they wouldn't give two shits (Jumanji 2 obviously didn't and pretty obviously borrowed a lot from Lara Croft when they created Karen Gillan's character) but the Indiana Jones series is Speilberg's baby and I think he'd care if people thought it became derogatory.

Some of the ones with him as a child are fine. I like the one where it's him and his dad hiking through Greece in 1910 (or thereabouts) and they end up trapped halfway up a cliff in a pulley-operated lift. The one where he's basically a supporting character and the episode (co-written by George Lucas!) is about his mum having an affair with Puccini is a bit of an oddball, though. I though the WWI episodes went on a bit. My favourite episodes were the ones where he's studying archaeology in Chicago, playing jazz in nightclubs with his friend Sidney Bechet and occasionally solving mysteries with his old war buddy Ernie Hemingway and his neurotic college room-mate Eliot Ness. It would have been cool if there had been more stories like that. Wheat Loaf fucked around with this message at 13:33 on Mar 20, 2018 |

If ABC hadn't canceled it for being incredibly expensive, the 4th season was going to introduce Abner Ravenwood, Rene Belloq, and Jaques, as well as all sorts of archeology and treasure hunting. The list of unproduced episodes is a bit heartbreaking. C'mon, Kathleen Kennedy!
