21 Muns posted:I actually don't think this is that likely because Patrick Stewart is really old and could drop over dead at any time; no way is Disney going to stake their absurd money-printing machine on Patrick Stewart's actuarial tables working out. I imagine Disney's X-Men acquisition is going to be a full purge of the old actors. That said, being old isn't stopping Disney from dragging Stan Lee out for cameos.

I imagine they'll re-cast every single x-men role. I'm sure if they could somehow convince Jackman to come back they'd jump at that, but aside from him it's probably better to just go for a fresh start with all of the characters. Edit: beaten

I'm going to talk about a dream I had a few months ago. I'm sure I posted it before but it was weird enough to warrant reposting it. I had a dream I was on the set of a Marvel movie. I don't think I was acting in it. Just working on the set. Anyway, we're filming the Stan Lee cameo. And for some reason pool old Stan was picking up props and big heavy set pieces. I went to go grab whatever prop he was moving to do it for him and a body guard stopped me. "No. He has to do it himself." And that's kinda all I remember before waking up.

With Gunn out and the Fox deal a lock I'm guessing MCU Phase 4 will now focus less on the "cosmic" stuff and more on "Somehow SHIELD managed to be aware of everything for the last 60 years except the existence of mutants"

Disney is going to control a poo poo ton more TV now, too. Hulu and a whole lotta sports (but not all of Fox sports? Kinda fuzzy on the specifics).

Detective No. 27 posted:Sports and News weren't part of the deal. Yes and no. Fox Sports is still its own company but Disney acquired Fox's regional sports networks. Buuuut they agreed to sell the networks immediately for antitrust reasons. The original article I read on this was too old to have this detail. So all in all it doesn't sound like they'll have more sports.

The Infinity Stones are basically the narrative equivalent of an infinitely reloading ejection seat.

Wherever they end up it's been known for a while now that Disney's stuff on Netflix was not going to be there for much longer. If Disney owns a majority stake in Hulu I wouldn't be surprised if it's rebranded/relaunched as something new.

Apparently Murdoch wanted to keep control of Fox Sports and Fox News. One of the stories that came out when the merger first proposed was that the President immediately called Rupert Murdoch wondering what was going to happen to Fox News.

Netflix bought Mowgli off of Warner Bros, pushing the release from October to 2019. Apparently the 3D version will still screen in theaters. Remember when Netflix posted a huge quarterly loss a few weeks ago and analysts were falling over themselves to say "I think Netflix is losing money because, uhhh...House of Cards was delayed," and not "Netflix keeps paying studios millions of dollars for the rights to movies that were probably going to struggle at the box office if not outright bomb?"

Or, gently caress it, maybe even recast the role. I love Carrie and her memory should be respected but I feel that the best way of doing it is to give Leia a fitting sendoff instead of, I dunno, throwing her out of a spaceship again but have it stick this time. In fact, as my post suggests, I’m pretty sure they’re going the CGI route anyway and just lying to avoid people being outraged for dumb reasons. People protested the CGI Tarkin and Rogue One Leia because both of them were pointless, but there’s a solid case to be made for CGI Leia in Episode IV. asecondduck fucked around with this message at 21:59 on Jul 27, 2018 |

GrandpaPants posted:Uh, he also apparently helped write Armageddon which also had a fine ending? I just had a very similar reaction when double checking his IMDB page. Either I’ve missed that in the past or he did a previously uncredited rewrite. [Edit: Ebert has this to say in the review of Regarding Henry, JJ’s first solo writing credit: ”Roger Ebert” posted:The screenplay by Jeffrey Abrams, in fact, constantly goes for the laugh over the possible reality. It has an annoying trick of teaching Henry a new word and then having him proudly trot it out to wrap up a complicated scene. The way the movie makes a connection between Ritz Crackers and the Ritz-Carlton hotel is especially annoying, combining cheap sentiment with a cheap laugh - and cheap product placement. Guess JJ’s always been JJ, huh.] asecondduck fucked around with this message at 22:27 on Jul 27, 2018 |

I forgot about Super 8. I liked it a lot.lelandjs posted:He didn’t write the endings to any of the TV shows he created/produced. Edit: Regarding Henry has some serious issues but the basic outline of an amnesiac coming to the realization that he was a scumbag in his former life and doing what he can to attone could work. Also Bill Nunn was good. Casimir Radon fucked around with this message at 22:30 on Jul 27, 2018 |

They should've just killed Leia off in Episode VIII. They had the perfect opportunity and they blew it. This is a problem that doesn't need to exist, and yet it does.

Yeah, this. They would have had to do some reshoots, but Leia dying would have given a lot more weight to Poe losing his poo poo.

If ghosts were real, Carrie Fisher would probably be dropping in on JJ to call him a huge bitch who can't seal the deal for compromising the movie by not having the balls to recast the role.
