I'm just saying if something is pushed into Disneytime it might as well be the Seventh Son situation when WB and Legendary split and that movie got pushed into the unknown.

Fox can’t handle the idea of a funny Predator movie.

Kiimo tell fox to go gently caress themselves for that and for not letting Ridley finish the trilogy.

The Fox execs are by and large still completely retarded and the only reason you don't hear more about how stupid they are is that Sony somehow manages to be dumber.

I don't think it will be bad. Shane Black knows Predator, and it's not like he is a bad filmmaker either.

for reference:

quote:

[Seventh Son] was originally scheduled for release on February 15, 2013, but was moved back to October 18, 2013, to complete post-production. It was moved again to January 17, 2014, due to the film's production partner Legendary Pictures parting ways with Warner Bros., who were initially intended to distribute the film. On August 15, 2013, it was announced that Legendary has sold the distribution rights to their new partner Universal Studios, which pulled the film again. On November 27, 2013, It was announced that the film was pushed back to February 6, 2015. The film premiered in France on December 17, 2014.

it also sucked out loud. I saw a preview of it at Comic-Con one year during some filler time between Legendary movies that actually mattered and it looked like the most generic bullshit. Jeff Bridges was a cool grandpa during the panel but that was the only positive.

edit: and for those who are too lazy to do the math, it was pushed back 8 months to finish post production, another 3 months because WB and Legendary split ways, and then, a month and a half before release it got bumped back another 13 months. We're likely to see similar things happen to The Current War and other movies trapped in the Weinstein morass, but those are all finished and ready to go, as opposed to New Mutants which is stuck in a weird state of half-done.

edit 2 because I keep discovering more of this magical story, this is from an article written a week after the original date before the first delay, at which point the movie was supposed to be 8 months away:

quote:

Rhythm & Hues, the VFX house that filed bankruptcy last week, filed an emergency motion on Tuesday over Seventh Son, a medieval adventure film starring Jeff Bridges and Julianne Moore that's being produced by Legendary Pictures.

Last week, Rhythm & Hues got a bankruptcy judge's interim approval of $17 million in loans from Universal and Fox so as to keep afloat and continue working on those studio's films.

The money didn't cover Seventh Son, which is slated for release in October.

Legendary Pictures is willing to put up an additional $4,961,751, paid in installments, to get VFX work done on the film. Rhythm & Hues is seeking approval for a "change order" on continued work on the picture.

Seventh Son represents a special project for the bankrupt VFX house. It's the third film, after 2010's Yogi Bear 3D and Hop, where Rhythm & Hues acts as a co-investor/co-producer. The agreement that was signed in March 2010 with Legendary Pictures entitles Rhythm & Hues to participation in the box office performance of Seventh Son, but contingent upon actually finishing work.

Thus far, work is behind schedule.

Rhythm & Hues was originally scheduled to deliver 247 "shots" by Dec. 7. Instead, by that date, only 56 had been delivered on a "final" basis.

Afterwards, Legendary agreed to lower the number of shots to be delivered to 225.

According to the emergency motion filed on Tuesday, "Although only approximately 25 percent of the shots have been delivered, many, if not substantially all, of the others are in various stages of completion such that R&H believes it can meet the terms of the Change Order."

Rhythm & Hues says the Change Order is arguably in the ordinary course of business and that it could proceed without a bankruptcy court's approval, but because the work is conditioned on Legendary's nearly $5 million payment, it is requesting the green light.

The motion also states, "The funding will also allow the Debtor to complete the Project, thus forestalling a potentially large breach claim from Legendary, allow the Debtor to maintain the continuity of its operations, make payments to certain employees on account of pre-petition wages owing, and make a $1.1 million contribution to the overhead costs of the company, thus reducing the amount of DIP Loan proceeds required."

According to the company's lawyers, there's approximately 56 people dedicated to the Seventh Son project, who were not among the 250 people who were laid off from Rhythm & Hues' workforce last week.

If Rhythm & Hues gets a judge's blessing this week, the company believes it can deliver the remaining shots by April 12.

I think the problem with The Predator is that a lot of people, me included, want something tonally similar to the first movie - moments of levity but overall a serious, brutal, R-rated badass survival film. Everything I've heard about the new one is that it's too funny/chatty and toeing the line between R and PG13 so they have the option to release to an expanded audience in case they never test high enough with the R rating. Tonally it just sounds wrong for a Predator film, I mean there are little kids in it for christ's sake. And you fuckin know they're they ones that are going to "save the day".

I love me some Shane Black, but all the man really did on the first film was some minor rewrites and add a couple jokes into the script. He was hired as an actor because it was a way for McTiernan to have a writer on set without breaking WGA rules. It's not like he has this deep connection to the franchise other than getting killed first and making a couple of pussy jokes.

This is a problem yes. We should let these series evolve into something else sometimes. It’s boring to go back to the same well.

It’s also about drat time we have Predators riding on army ranks.

i'm not really sure what you're trying to say here. is Disney throwing their weight around to influence what Fox does with their IP in advance of the actual sale?

because otherwise, that makes no loving sense whatsoever. the movie's already close enough to done that they can do test screenings and have a trailer out. if it's already testing well, and they know the sale's looming, then the sane and intelligent thing to do would be finish up the initial cut of the movie ASAP, drop it pretty much as soon as the effects are done, and use the fucktons of money raked in to leverage a better deal with Disney. the Disney sale makes their current decision actively a hundred times dumber unless there's external factors we don't know about.

e: past that, i'd be sort of shocked if Disney shoots the Deadpool golden goose, provided Deadpool 2 does well. getting rid of a franchise that's doing well because it has gore and gently caress words, when they already have Netflix shows with gore and gently caress words, would be the less safe choice, not the safer one.
