Skyline 2 was the movie they originally wanted to make, but they didn't have the budget.

It was pretty clear that they ran out of money in Skyline 1 because the big action scene that they spent the entire movie building to happens through a series of still images.

In fairness, IIRC the situation was a couple of inexperienced special effects guys suddenly were given complete control as writer/directors/producers or some such, and also were on a major time crunch, they admit they hosed up a lot along the way due to being in over their heads, it kinda fell apart from jump

An alien invasion movie that the Strauses were working on as FX artists WHILE making Skyline, to the point that they ended up being sued over it:

Ah yes I totally forgot about this. It's extremely bad form and is a good way to get blacklisted by the studios.

Also according to Duncan Jones it won't have any Bowie music in it *AT ALL* since they didn't grant rights.

Like... holy poo poo why would you EVER make a Bowie biopic without the music??

The move you make in this situation is you cover all the songs from the Velvet Goldmine soundtrack.

The R. Kelly biopic will be called "I Believe I Can Fly" and conspicuously ends with the making of the Space Jam OST.

A George Clooney sci-fi flick that’s mostly just him talking to a simulacrum of a woman? The audience will surely eat that up.

How 'bout them hawks news huh!

The only thing that surprises me about this is that they’re actually invoking COVID instead of some made up thing.

Media will be oversaturated with pandemic-themed post-apocalypse poo poo for years onward. But most will likely be slightly more tactful than this.

Didn't that movie have some problems with not actually following safe filming procedures?

Anyway, check out THIS Bowie movie trailer.
