got any sevens posted:The careers of Adam Sandler and Mike Meyers are examples 1 and 2. Also Fight Club. And on the other end of the spectrum you have Josie and the Pussycats, a movie literally wallpapered with product placement and logos yet was completely satirical and never got a cent for any of it.

Timby posted:TSG co-finances almost all of Fox's genre movies. Ah. It used to be Dune, and then obviously that deal ended when the RatPac merger happened, and I haven't seen many Fox films that aren't Spotlight pickups for a while so I've never noticed any real other names at the front of the features. And for those wondering who on earth would throw Trump into Suicide Squad somehow: https://www.uproxx.com/movies/suicide-squad-trump-2016/ <- this is really ridiculous, as is expected from uproxx

Jonas Albrecht posted:Are we getting any video game property movies this year? Beyond Assassin's Creed and Resident Evil: The Final Chapter it seems there is just a whole bunch of TBA and speculation when it comes to video game franchises. I think the closest thing that is actually happening is another CGI Resident Evil movie. I think a Sly Cooper movie was planned for this year but that probably got shelved somewhere deep after the Ratchet & Clank movie.

The MSJ posted:I guess this is why Final Fantasy 15 is loaded with product placements despite not even taking place on Earth. The production of the game is so long the budget must have been enormous, so your characters can buy Nissin cup noodles from shops that accept American Express. FF15 cup noodle was a lot worse than just the billboard. There's literally a food truck in game that you can buy cup noodle from and one of your party members has a quest that is a pretty shameless ad pitch to find *the perfect ingredient* to add into a hot steamy cup noodle. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ba1kg3tKbMg

He directed Columbiana which was very good, and the first Hitman movie which wasn't completely terrible...but he also directed Transporter 3 and Taken 2 and 3 so yeah the bad is outweighing the good. Are there any French goons that can comment on his early stuff?
