Jack Black has proven himself to Miyamoto. Have him play Tingle, guaranteed billion dollar box office.

Especially have him as live action Tingle, even if the rest of the movie is animated

The director originally wanted to use model photography for all the VFX, but studio nixed because it would have been too expensive. Then First Man goes on to do the same thing and wins an Oscar.

Is that supposed to be Coney Island and the Wonder Wheel? Thematically it should be, probably, but it’s not even convincing as a random second-rate Canadian or SoCal pier attraction.

This just loving annoys me, Blues Brothers and Ghostbusters went from good to great only because they had a sense of place that was unmatched; when I wanted to show my kids the Maxwell Street Market or Manhattan when actual humans lived there those movies were invaluable.

Yeah speaking of Coney The Warriors followed shortly thereafter.

The Paul Feig Ghostbusters is still in track to be the best in this century, which would be sad except that Helmsworth is a joy in the movie.

They shot the whole thing in London, outside of some second-unit stuff that was done in New York City. The video Mckenna Grace posted of her in the firehouse showed that the outside of the set was surrounded by green screens, so there's a chance this feels even less like New York City than GB 2016 did (Boston for NYC, lol).

This does mark the first time that the firehouse exterior and interior are actually the same building, though.

It... is not. Your average two-hour movie is originally shot as an assembly cut that 3-5 hours long and then it becomes the directors' and editors' jobs to cut it down to as short as a runtime as possible from that while still keeping a coherent plot. I've seen way more movies ruined by cutting the movie too short than ones ruined by keeping them too long.

Zelda honestly is a property that would be hard to screw up, it'll be derived from the most generic parts of the series and not any of the interesting bits like endlessly repeating the last three days before the end of the world or a world that's been totally covered in water. Some fantasy fighting poo poo, Link gets the Master Sword, there's a last-minute time travel twist, save Zelda, credits. So I can't wait to see how they screw it up.

I think that the trap is that Zelda seems easy to adapt because it's all standard fantasy tropes. But what actually makes it work is the vibe, that weird mix between fairy tale, high fantasy and comedy.

The closest comparison for me would be Studio Ghibli, but that's not strange because Nintendo cribbed massively from those films. And that's a problem all on its own, because can you really make a Tears of the Kingdom film that's better thanCastle in the Sky? Or a Breath of the Wild that's better thanPrincess Mononoke?

You've got to get someone that both has a great love for the games, in order to understand them, but also enough guts and creativity to adept it into something completely new. And I don't think this production has anyone like that on board.

Zelda movie I feel like you could do really well just by actually understanding the vibe. I suppose there's a few ways you could do it, depending a lot on what tone they want and who they cast. I think it'd help if they go more on vibes and themes than dialogue, especially with a Link that barely talks and is clearly in way over his head and swinging his sword hoping for the best.

I remember some podcast raising a very interesting question: "Can you think of ANY directors whose last movie was also their best?" Ridley Scott is clearly not striving to join that club.

His first three films are the Duellists, Alien and Blade runner. If he managed to make a film better than those at his age, it would be a miracle.

George Miller had a chance to do it but I guess the reason it never happens is because when you make something along the lines of a Fury Road then getting the next project greenlit is all the sudden so easy that it's hard to pass up. Like, I seriously doubt he's getting $60 mil to make Three Thousand Years of Longing if not for the success of Fury Road.

George Miller still has a chance to do it, Furiosa is currently in post production.

It may be because it's Miyazaki's only film I saw in the cinema, but The Boy and the Heron is up there with Mononoke and Spirited Away.

For me, Tarantino is another director who keeps topping himself. Nicholas Refn, maybe?
