Disney slashed a bunch of Pixar staff positions to recoup losses after releasing three major Pixar titles to die on Disney Plus. Streaming is killing profits without constant investor money flowing in.

I would very much like movies (and especially tv shows) to have their budgets drastically slashed and for filmmakers to have to go back to figuring out how to do things they want cheaply but effectively and not just vomiting hundreds of millions of dollars of CGI work hours onto the screen.

Until cameras actually start rolling I consider them all vaporware, and even then they could still be shelved.

I bet a huge amount of the costs is due to last minute CG changes requested by showrunners because they can. If it was practical no way, just not enough time to film but with CG you can get several studios of wage slaves cranking away in parallel for small parts and charging out the rear end for “rush”. It’s basically a lack of planning and not having a clear, nailed down vision of what they’re doing from the start.

I really think studios should hire some up and coming directors to film the script with a total budget of $1 million first just to work out the kinks and figure out how to manage a story with very little vfx, then spend the 200 million or whatever on the high budget celebrity actor extravaganza, saving money and improving quality because they already know where they're going. As a plus side this would mean every major film would have a low budget knockoff produced alongside it.

Do the Sam Raimi pipeline of $1,00,000 for the first one. If it looks at all like a movie, make an almost identical remake with a $10M budget. If that works, do a $35M movie with a totally different name and, like, props and sets and actors.

There was that cheap made for tv movie that Michael Mann made twice and called the second one Heat. It’s a formula that works

PostNouveau posted:Spent too much money on big green asses I don't understand this. She-Hulk was one of MANY new shows that were produced in that year. How much did all of those shows cost to produce, cumultaviely? How much did staffing for the streaming platform cost? Advertising? Servers and data? How many people are signed up for the platform? Did they assume that their offerings of safe, culturally identifiable slop would get humanity so excited that we'd divide via mitosis into additional adult people who would then themselves immediately subscribe so that they could also be the first to see Man-Guy, Guy-Man, Dark-Guy, She-Lady, Moon-Person, Space Time: Season 4 (part 1), The Simpsons, etc etc etc?

The key word with posts like this is "reportedly." Who reported it? Was the person or media outlet reliable? A reporter with no integrity might have guessed and then other websites now say that it's been reported as the truth. It all just becomes this game of telephone between clickbait media. This particular number can be traced back to a Variety article on Marvel's situation from November, but it's literally a single uncited sentence, "All the while, Marvel was bleeding money, with a single episode of "She-Hulk" costing some $25 million, dwarfing the budget of a final-season episode of HBO’s “Game of Thrones, ” but without a similar Zeitgeist bang."

Every single Star Wars movie announced post Episode 9 has been cancelled, so it's not too much of a stretch to see this one suffering the same fate. Even that Mando movie could be shut down. As far as I'm concerned, until cameras start rolling, all these announced movies aren't happening.

They really do a lot of pointless struggling against what is obviously being revealed by reality: it's not a good enough franchise for cinema, it can be streaming TV at best and even then it's hit or miss

The season premiere of True Detective High Country is so loving weird in a bad way I can't stop thinking about it. The awful intro with CGI caribou, jarring tonal changes between scenes, the "off" humor, musical choices that do not work, etc. It felt like some good pieces were glued together by AI or something
