Sir Kodiak posted:This is what I'm questioning. Discovery looks awful and the production stories are worse. And this isn't like trying to fit Ant-Man 2 into a five-year plan of 2-3 movies a year, with interwoven sequels and such. Star Trek hasn't been on TV in over a decade. What's the rush to get it out right now? You basically need to have start dates, because you need to get people hired. You can't say, "Oh, we'll set a production date when we have all the scripts ready," because number one, creative types need deadlines, and number two, you have no idea who's going to be available if you're so fluid. Productions are scheduled so far out in advance for the specific reason of getting the people you want in place and ready to work -- a particular cinematographer, for example. It would be like not hiring people at a hotel until the day of the grand opening and praying you get a great executive chef, front office manager, bell captain, housekeeping team and chief engineer. The original August date for production was to hit January 2017, because Discovery was intended to be the flagship of CBS' All-Access streaming service. Following the second delay in November (the one which resulted in Fuller getting tossed out the airlock), CBS had to hastily re-arrange things and instead position The Good Fight as the big kickoff show for the service. Once production started at the end of January, CBS started being more flexible about the launch date (to the point that they added two more episodes to the series order), presumably because there was enough negative press about the show already and it took the production nearly three months to get the pilot episode filmed.

Paramount produces the films under license from CBS; outside of the standard license fee CBS sees nothing from the movies (unless CBS Consumer Products decides to do merchandising).

Because, otherwise, it's just waiting to hire the executive chef until you at least have blueprints for the drat building.

Exactly. All the more reason to get a show they can make bank off of out there before Trek fatigue sets in.

It's kind of sad because getting caught up in a tsunami and desperately finding some flotation device among the wreckage only to discover that it's a branch with a hive of enraged bees sounds truly horrifying.

So Wonder Woman is actually getting good reviews. Not that I expect DC to turn it all around now.

(They haven't announced a production budget yet but King Kong: Skull Island had a $185m price tag and they'll probably crank it up even further for GvKK.)

Best Blair is that Sci-fi Channel pseudomentary Curse of the Blair Witch or whatever, that had 'secret declassified courtroom footage' of Rustin Parr, a bunch of fake historical Burkittsville stuff, and goofy 70s Aquarius Children footage.

Not sure which one of these I agree with more so I'll just quote them both. I really liked the Blair Witch remake when I saw it (even though I think I posted some negativity about it) but (and this is probably why I posted negativity) you can't really compare the remake to the original; superficial similarities in the text are dwarfed by the differences in not just the subtext but the metatext as well.

Touche, but Burkittsville 7 has the film-within-a-film White Enamel, which owns just as much as that other stuff. Overall, Blair Witch is a consistently above-average franchise, and Wingard's film continued that track record. The cinematography was good, the performances were on point, and the story went in a bizarro direction that I didn't see coming even as it managed to draw upon the cosmetic features of the original film to organize it. Re: Godzilla vs. Kong, I'm very enthusiastic about Wingard taking the reigns. I get that folks are like, "Ah, but this guy has no experience helming a tentpole blockbuster!" But, ya know, neither did Gareth Edwards or John Vogt-Roberts. Neither has Michael Dougherty, but cats seemed way more enthusiastic about him being in the cockpit for King of the Monsters. Anyway, I'm still mad that it seems like Tom "not that Tom Green" Green has been pretty much snubbed from directing a movie ever again despite Monsters: Dark Continent being dope as all get out.
