The reboot/remake has been in development hell for a quarter century now

The latest developments:

quote:

In July 2017, Blumhouse Productions confirmed their involvement with the film, while announcing that McFarlane had also signed on to direct the project. The movie was expected to begin production by February 2018. In May 2018, it was announced that Jamie Foxx would portray the titular character. In July 2018, it was reported that Jeremy Renner would be starring alongside Foxx as Detective Twitch. On October 25, 2018, the filming start date was delayed to June 2019. The film ended up missing its start date. In November 2019, the film restarted development due to the financial success of the R-rated comic book film Joker. In December 2019, McFarlane hired an additional writer to help polish the script, before presenting it to a major Hollywood studio. In March 2020, McFarlane stated Spawn will go into production sometime in 2020 with the intention for him to direct and Jamie Foxx still attached for the lead role. In May 2020, producer Jason Blum stated that "There has been an enormous amount of activity on Spawn......But, suffice to say, it is a very active development." In August 2021, it was revealed that Broken City screenwriter Brian Tucker had been hired to rewrite McFarlane's screenplay. In October 2022, Scott Silver, Malcolm Spellman, and Matthew Mixon had been hired to rewrite the screenplay.

LOL that the chucked everything in the bin and started over again because Joker did so well with an R-rating

I remember with the second Crow thinking it couldn't be good and a friend seeing it and was like yeah this douche is like saying nursery rhymes as he's killing people.

There's some talk about this being an example of films (or at least trailers) being shot with all the key moments framed so that they work in tiktok vertical clips.

It does happen. Quibi infamously required their cinematographers to frame shots in a way that cou,d work in both vertical and horizontal.

Didn’t Kubrick frame everything so it would look good for both theatrical and on television?

Bugblatter
Aug 4, 2003

…no? A lot of his films weren’t even shown on TV for decades after release.

The idea that Kubrick heavily used center framing for his 70mm, no compromises, theatrical epic 2001 because it would eventually be shown on NBC ten years later sure is something.

Kubrick used the ratio that best suited what he wanted to do. 2001 is widescreen because it is epic. The Shining was shot for Academy ratio but protected for cinema ratio (1.85:1) because it's meant to feel claustrophobic.

Kubrick didn't use symmetrical composition in 2001 because it would look better on TV, but it did get shown on TV within the next few years and the edits TV studios made to it (in one case they showed it letterboxed, but in the black space they put a fake starfield lol) pissed him off so much that he shot his last three movies with protection for both TV and cinema format. Those three movies look good in both aspect ratios, but he did do it very specifically because he wanted control over how they would look on TV and home video.

I remember George Miller (or maybe it was the DP) said he put most of the action in Mad Max: Fury Road in the center of the frame because they had so many cuts, more than usual, that he wanted the viewer to always be focused on the center as an easy way to not get lost. You didn't need 3 or 4 frames to figure out where to look. Once it was pointed out, I loved that movie even more.

Didn't it come out that they didn't actually tell a lot of their productions about that until it came to the edit?
