Timby posted:Disney's got Lin-Manuel Miranda writing songs with Alan Menken, they're going to make all the money in the world (again). I didn't realise they had their own remake coming out but I shouldn't be surprised. I presume that'll be in 2021? I know Lion King is next year and Aladdin is the year after. There's a Mulan remake in there somewhere too, isn't there?

Oh, of course, Dumbo's the one Tim Burton is doing. Not sure how I feel about that. As for Cruella DeVil, I'd kind of like them to get Glenn Close back for that somehow. I saw that live-action Dalmatians movie in the cinema twice when I was little and she remains the highlight.

TheBigBudgetSequel posted:I hope if we are getting more Alice In Wonderland, i hope it's like Through the Looking Glass and not the first film. and ditch Johnny Depp because ick. I believe those weren't actually by Disney, and the first one making a billion dollars is apparently what prompted Disney to go, "Oh, poo poo, we're sitting on a goldmine here." Obviously Alice in Wonderland - the story by Lewis Carroll - doesn't belong to Disney, but I think it's a Hook situation where it wasn't a Disney thing but was clearly assuming familiarity with the Disney movie rather than the novel.

Remember how one of the big episodes in the movie Ray is Ray Charles being banned for life from entering the state of Georgia when he refuses to play at a segregated venue? That never happened in real life. They made it up, because apparently Ray Charles's actual life wasn't dramatic enough.

R. Guyovich posted:haven't seen ray since it was in the theater but don't they also intimate that was responsible for "georgia on my mind?" Nah, in fairness, they don't go that far. It does have a bit where Ahmet Ertegun appears to grow a full beard overnight between two scenes, though. In any event, the entire movie became impossible to take seriously as soon as I saw Walk Hard. Great soundtrack, of course.

Timby posted:Walk the Line might be the king of bullshit musician biopics (and I say that as a huge James Mangold fanboy). It's a shame, because I think both of them (Walk the Line and Ray) have really good performances from their respective leads. Maybe I'm just susceptible to that maudlin stuff, though. One of my favourite pieces of movie trivia is that Gary Busey was nominated for an Oscar for playing Buddy Holly in a biopic.

Chadwick Boseman was a good James Brown in Get On Up but the movie as a whole wasn't outstanding. My favourite story about an actor preparing for a biopic role is Andy Serkis going to the gym so he could strengthen one side of his body so he could portray Ian Dury's polio more realistically in Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll.

I think Cavill's character is a CIA guy who's sent to track Hunt down when he goes rogue. He seems like a villain based on the trailers, but who knows, maybe he'll do a face turn.

kiimo posted:However the motherfuck John Wayne still stands The pettiest John Wayne story is how he wrote a whiny letter to Rex Stout to personally inform him that he was no longer going to read any Nero Wolfe novels after The Doorbell Rang because he was just SO OFFENDED that it featured Wolfe outsmarting the FBI by exposing them spying on American citizens and then making a fool of J. Edgar Hoover.

Friend posted:Lol. I thought he was a lovely actor as soon as I was old enough to have opinions about him, and any time I hear something about him it's just more about how he was a lovely person in real life too. Wayne also turned down the Gary Cooper role in High Noon because he realised that it was subtly anti-blacklisting and he thought blacklisting was the bee's knees. (Gary Cooper was politically conservative like Wayne, but he was anti-blacklisting.)

HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:The excuse was cute, too: the world simply needed him and his movies to fight. Meanwhile Jimmy Stewart is like a gunner on a B-52 and Rod Serling is a paratrooper.

What makes Nugent particularly irritating is that he continued to be loudly pro-war and boasted about how he totally would have been an ultimate badass soldier like Rambo if he'd actually been sent to Vietnam.

What's the last pure comedy movie that won or was nominated for Best Picture? Come to think of it, what's the last pure comedy performance (i.e. not a comedy-drama) that won an acting Oscar? Off the top of my head, there's Kevin Kline in A Fish Called Wanda but there's got to have been some more since then.

It looks like it might be enjoyable, but it also looks like they're completely wrecking the place in this one. Is the Godzilla vs Kong one supposed to be a sequel to this? Won't be much of a world left for them to fight over from the looks of things.
