Gripweed posted:OK, iirc the Mummy's powers come from being possessed by an ancient Egyptian demon, and at the end of The Mummy Tom Cruise lets himself get possessed so he can bring some lady back to life, but then he just doesn't have the bad part of the possession happen. Like, He starts to do the double iris thing but then is like, "No I don't want that to happen" so it just doesn't. And he ends up with all of the Mummy powers but none of the downside of being possessed by evil. And the lady, no longer being possessed, just dies. She becomes a regular dead person who is fully dead. I think they put her back in her mummy tomb, for some reason, so Tom Cruise could theoretically bring her back to life at any point. So maybe they were planning on that happening in future installments of the Dark Universe. Or even offscreen after the events of The Mummy, since Tom Cruise can bring anyone back to life no problem, so anyone who dies in that movie series can be brought back at any point. Tom Cruise and the lady could just show up in The Invisible Man and you would barely even need one line of dialogue establishing that Tom Cruise brought her back for her Mummy knowledge or something. Definitely read this

I am open to Last Voyage of the Demeter being good. No cities getting destroyed, no blue lasers from the sky, just a spooky monster on a boat.

I AM GRANDO posted:Doesn’t Tom Cruise become the mummy at the end of that The Mummy movie? Why is the mummy lady in that group shot? That's Penelope Cruz. Sofia Boutella played the first mummy in the Tom Cruise movie. Want to guess who Penelope Cruz was supposed to be in the Dark Universe? The Bride of Frankenstein

PostNouveau posted:All these movies are definitely happening That movie sucked rear end, but in a fun and slightly boring way. Also as I watched it, I kept thinking it looked visually too much like the Underworld movies, then it turned out that Wikipedia posted:Kevin Grevioux, creator of the graphic novel and the Underworld film series, had earlier expressed interest in making more I, Frankenstein films along with an Underworld crossover film. He stated in a pre-release interview that, in an early draft of his screenplay, Kate Beckinsale would have made a post-credits cameo appearance as Selene and that there would have been Underworld Easter eggs, but none of this was used. LanceHunter posted:That's Penelope Cruz. Sofia Boutella played the first mummy in the Tom Cruise movie. No that is Sofia Boutella in the photo. Goon face-blindness strikes again.

henkman posted:Or have Leigh whannell direct more movies No, no, no you have to think like ea producer The Invisible Man was good and made its money back on a low budget So you need to replicate the formula and make a $120M budget movie The Monster Man The Vampire Man The Invisible WOMan Any of those are fine, as long as there's a strong undercurrent theme of domestic violence kalel posted:feel like a movie whose title follows the format "the X of the Y" should be good. most movies like that tend to be good, or at least sound good Now you're thinking like a producer!!!

It only cost 7m? Executives won't care about making movies that cheap. What good is grossing 140m when you could hide that in the budget of a 500m movie as payments to your personal front companies.

Saw the trailer for this and it looked like a Disney ride. Legit thought it was a Pirates of the Caribbean spinoff I dont think they actually made a boat for this, or went out into the water. Felt like green ladders and platforms turned into a ship in Unreal

just watched the new exorcist trailer and i almost fell asleep. but for real, i actually like demonic possession movies. the worst part is always the catholicism stuff which is just too silly (in general), but i guess a possession movie without religion makes even less sense.

They’re doing a possession movie without any religious stuff? Like a Star Trek episode except lame? What the gently caress? Does China allow possession movies as long as Christianity isn’t involved?

So what were the best studio interference calls anyway? They do exist and I used to remember a few more but as time has gone on I've stopped giving a poo poo. Apparently George miller wanted fury road to be B&W and the studio stopped that which actually was a good call. That movie had incredible color palette

Paramount insisted on James Caan for Godfather (canceled out by the way they kept trying to nix Brando). Predator: the entire first half was basically the studio wanting more action. And pretty much every time a studio demands that a movie gets cut for time

Put up a front on it, insist in black and white, reluctantly relent, the studio suits feel they have their meddling victory and he gets more room to do what he wants?
