Uber sexism in movie form is the new hotnessquote:Susan Fowler, the Uber engineer whose blog post about sexual harassment within the juggernaut Silicon Valley ride-hailing service exposed a toxic culture of sexism and sexual harassment that eventually led to the ouster of seemingly untouchable CEO Travis Kalanick? She has pledged her life rights to a movie pitch – working title Disruptors — that will be written by Oscar-nominated Hidden Figures screenwriter Allison Schroeder. Former Disney exec Kristin Burr is producing what is being described as a potential Erin Brockovich meets The Social Network. http://deadline.com/2017/10/uber-sexism-scandal-movie-susan-fowler-allison-schroeder-harvey-weinstein-mess-1202185082/

So apparently due to a legal issue the Winnie the Pooh origin story "Goodbye Christopher Robin" can't actually use the art from the original book or any of the prose either.

There was also that Hendrix biopic from a couple of years ago where they couldn't use any of his music. Which was a problem when the movie was about him recording an album.

Why even go to the trouble of making a movie and spending all that money if you legally can't go all the way with it?

Settlers of Catan is now going to be a movie (or franchise since they bring that up) thanks to Sony, so here is hoping for another email hack to get the background on this one!quote:Dan Lin, whose credits include “It” and “The Lego Movie,” and Jonathan Eirich will join the producing team. Blaise Hemingway will write the screenplay. http://variety.com/2017/film/news/settlers-of-catan-movie-sony-1202587485/

I'm reminded of that loving awful movie Walt Before Mickey, with Thomas Ian Nicholas, that had to play so fast and loose with the details because they had no rights to use, like, anything. Edit: Although that movie does have one truly hilarious scene, in which Walt is now a bum on the street, and a police officer is rousting him to get up, and then Walt has the mother of all freakouts--seriously, the performance is hilarious--because the mouse that's been living in his shirt pocket escapes.

With the success of IT we can expect to see more King adaptations, case in point Amblin Entertainment has hired Josh Boone to write a script for The Talisman.

Beats me How much you bet this will be hagiography instead of showing how creepy and exploitative the dude was. They're rushing this into production before the glut of reputation deflating books of women abused by him come out. Also y'all can be loving insufferable sometimes. The last few pages, jesus Christ.

I think some of it is an artifact of digital cameras, though even DTV stuff from the 90s looks similar so a generic lighting setup is probably the biggest reason, followed by sets that are closed or blocked off to hide that they usually have no extras or only a limited amount for specific scenes. Most of those movies film so fast they can't really play around with camera movement much, so I doubt they are spending lots of time moving lights and microphones either. New cameras making things look a bit off haven't helped.

It's immaculate. Hyper real and hyper flat. Like CGI but not quite. Everything is creepily still and evenly lit. Uncanny is probably the word I'm looking for.

See, this is how I see most (big) movies these days, with Marvel leading the way. Everything is evenly lit, grey and so mundane looking that it actually crosses over to artificial and lifeless. I always figure it has to with digital cameras and digital color grading/correction, because every now and then I like to watch some generic thrillers etc. from the 90's when everything was still shot on film and most of the colors and shadows have contrast, vibrancy and character whereas most of the stuff nowadays looks so flavorless and drab. Of course there are some positive exceptions depending on the director and DoP like BR2049, but when I see a new trailer for some 150-200M$ blockbuster and it looks like total poo poo, with obvious green screenery and uninspiring sets, I wonder where all the money is going (other than to the equally lovely effects to fill those green screens with).

That's almost definitely a composite shot tho. The tugboat looks like it's in a controlled pool with a greenscreen backdrop (the water looks way too calm to be Lake Michigan), and the Chicago skyline painted in. What movie is that from?

Apparently they filmed the movie in Canada, so definitely a composite. Rather than spend the money on a greenscreen tank for the boat, it's much cheaper to just film one in the local harbor and rotoscope it to replace the skyline with a stock image that kind of matches the lighting of the plate.
