Turns out Singer has been fired from the Queen biopic after ghosting on the production. Apparently he has been fighting with Rami Malek for some reason.

Haha, apparently just straight-up disappearing for days at a time is a pattern of behavior for Singer on film shoots including the X-Men movies. How on Earth is this man a major Hollywood director? From all the reports of him and his skeezy entourage it sounds like he likely has some serious addiction issues, so that's probably a good part of the cause.

With all these high-profile director firings these days I wonder if we're approaching an era of replacing directors mid-stream and Hollywood studios downplaying the idea of auteur-ism with the rise of the Kevin Feige/Kathleen Kennedy type executive producer squad. Marvel, Star Wars, and DC all seem to be pushing that direction.

e: I've also heard rumors that Snyder was actually fired off Justice League before his family leave, but that could be just some angry fanboy backlash.

Yes, it's something provably false being reported as fact and then when called out for being provably false the defense is "it points to a discussion we need to have."

Maybe you... misread my comments?

I didn't say it pointed to a discussion we needed to have. I said that the fact that there are rumors about it means that the idea of directors being fired is in the zeitgeist.

Or maybe my words are more akin to a person who is selling her soul to become fabulously wealthy off the back of a hate-mongering megalomaniacal narcissistic sociopath. Potato potahto.

You're obviously not as morally repugnant as Sarah Huckabee, (unless your breakfast included a child's hopes and dreams that you ate in front of them), but saying a completely made up rumour is as important as actual facts because otherwise they wouldn't have made up the rumour is loving bonkers.

That sounds so crazy I'll be extremely disappointed if it doesn't end up happening. Star Trek would totally be Tarantino's thing when it comes to pushing the social envelope, they've been playing it way too safe.

Star Trek seems to have been passed to Seth M. That guy is a genius of nostalgia in tv.

But Tarantino is a genius of film nostalgia so :thunk:

It had a pretty bad pilot, but after that it's basically been Star Trek for people who miss when Star Trek was Star Trek. Just a bit more casual since they aren't hot-poo poo emissary philosopher captains making contact with new races.

A lot of what I've seen is that the show is almost plausible as a lower-deck Trek series about a vessel that isn't the star flagship and people who weren't top of the class. (Heck, the setup with the not-Federation dipping into the dregs of officer candidates because they have more ships than qualified crew could easily pick up at the end of DS9, with losses from the Dominion War)

The directors commentary of this scene is baffling because Johnson explains how they made a one off Raptor head that was identical to the Raptors of the first films as thats all Alan would know of by that point, not that more evolved versions he encounters later.

Which... well... they clearly loving didn't.
