On a long enough timeline, anything could become a vehicle for the Rock. Downton Abbey, for instance

8one6 posted:I like Vin, but he's not really a draw the way Dwayne "Oh The Rock is in that, I'll go see it this weekend" Johnson is a draw so being concerned that the F & F series is going to become a vehicle for The Rock seems reasonable. I'm probably the only person on this planet who doesn't like Dwayne Johnson much. He is a fine enough action actor, and probably a great guy IRL, but somehow he rubs me the wrong way. So I'm totally Team Diesel when they fight it out on the back of a submarine with Tyrese trying to launch the nukes on the Rock's mansion.

The Saddest Rhino posted:probably also since the new xxx movie didn't set the world on fire (despite having a guy whose superpower is setting up instant rave parties) It didn't even make $45 million domestic, it fuckin' bombed on the home front. Also I'm sure it hasn't escaped Vin's attention that the Fast & Furious franchise was doing pretty good all along but really started pulling in the big bucks over the last 3 movies which were also the movies which featured The Rock. The Rock isn't a surefire box office draw and recent movies of his like Baywatch, Hercules and Pain & Gain struggled to draw a crowd but they all did better than all of Diesel's recent non-F&F and non-MCU films like xXx: The Return of Xander Cage, The Last Witch Hunter, Riddick and Babylon A.D..

I don't think so; I know he'd done Chronicles of Riddick as a sequel to Pitch Black but I remember him refusing to come back for XXX 2 upset its producers enough that a scene was filmed but not included in which Xander Cage is messily blown up (the piece of his skin with his XXX tattoo flies out and lands on the ground). I just remember reading that, when he broke out, it was a big (?) deal that he didn't do sequels.

Borgland Corp posted:Jumanji but it's a key party Jumanji but it's a quiet, intense A24 drama about two couples facing the dissolution of their relationships over a game of the latest iteration of Jumanji, which has turned into a Catan-esque resource management thing, with no overt supernatural elements, that everybody eventually takes too seriously.

Oh, it was included on the xXx DVD release, where they built a 5 minute long short ("The Death of Xander Cage") starring a Vin body double never really faces the camera, entirely to justify that one shot. Seemed like a really petty move on the part of the producers/studio at the time, but now I know that was exactly how to get under Vin's skin, and they knew it.

I remember an interview where he talked about how Justin Lin was the person that convinced him that sequels can be awesome by comparing it to having a D&D campaign with how that worked back in the day where instead of making different characters you'd make a very small number of characters and use them in every game you played so you'd have very different stories but with recognizable faces and that was what got him to eventually cameo in Tokyo Drift and come back to Fast and Furious in general. It struck a chord with him because the general course of the Riddick flicks is based on various RIFTS games he used to play.

My favorite recent Tyrese thing is when Will and Jada Pinkette-Smith gave him a bunch of money to help with his custody battle, with the sole instruction tied to it being that he stay off of social media. The only reason anybody knew about it was because Tyrese immediately instagrammed about it.

Corrosion posted:You're vying to be "The Chosen Undead" in Dark Souls 1, it's absolutely implicit. The subtext of what you do by dying and say, hoarding souls, or invading/not invading all shapes the narrative but being a zombie is completely accounted for. They're the lower class. One of my favorite things about it is that what makes it seem so "hard" is that at the start the lethality is confined to skeletons, rats and zombies in various interesting combinations.

For the next Jumanji film it should be about the game being distributed worldwide and it's like an MMO. Due to the immense popularity of the game, the game starts to glitch out and whoever is trapped in the game has to find their way out before it all falls apart. They could call it...

What really hosed me up was that I kept re-rolling characters at first and it had a weird progressive insanity to it. Specifically when I started listening to noises and then realized that there is a very unpleasant thing in the Undead Assylum that you can immediately see if you move the camera to your right as you come out of your jail cell. The beginning areas are typically really grimy and wonderful.

No need to change the name or anything at all. Just have an awesome adventure story and it’s a woman named Indiana Jones. No need for continuity or any b.s. it’s a movie about the serialized adventures of Indiana Jones or Jane Jones Jr., daughter of Indy or whatever. I just prefer a full on adult than young 20 something. That being said I think Cate Blanchett could have carried it, she can understand how to act in that type of movie (though it’s dependent on the director understanding serialized comics and dramatic moments vs modern fast cut cut cut action movie), but she was already a villain in 4.
