I think they were just talking about spacing out their Disney+ shows, not doing fewer movies.

Yeah. They even turned one of the shows into a movie (Armor Wars).

It's probably related to cost cutting for Disney+.

Yes the main reason for Disney having some losses is because of Disney+

Now some of that is loss of international subscribers but still

Another cancelled movie victim of WB/Discovery tax shenanigans, the Scooby-Doo direct to video movie Haunted High Rise is no more. It is a sequel to Trick or Treat, Scooby-Doo!, which was from 2022 and was the one where Velma was a lesbian. Haunted High Rise would have also featured the Hex Girls, who first showed up in Scooby-Doo! and the Witch's Ghost and became a cult favorite

quote:

"I think the Haunted High Rise was even funnier than the first, because we had the Hex Girls, and new songs, and we pulled out all the stops," Gair told the podcast. "We had motorcycle chases throughout the hallways. Joe called me and said, 'Has the studio been in touch with you?' And I said no. I think this was the beginning of October, and he said, 'Oh, well somebody should be reaching out to you, I'm afraid it got shelved and it's a financial decision and I think Warner Bros. is getting a tax credit for shelving it and canceling it, so it's dead dead dead, I think because of the merger with Discovery.' They just took a look at everything that was going to be going into streaming, everything that was going to be going into HBO Max, and just drew a red line through everything, figured out how much they spent. Do you know, the saddest part is it would've cost the same to shelve it as it would to make it, because it was already lock picture and in animation. That was another reason for them doing the two movies back-to-back because they had an animation studio they could be feeding work to. It seems so sad, since it's already so close, but I do not understand the politics or how financial decisions at Warner Bros. get made, but I don't think they're going to resuscitate this. My producer keeps saying he doesn't think it's going to come back to life. But, maybe, who knows? It was locked picture, all dialogue, songs were recorded, it was ready for animation."

Yeah, buzz was in 4 but had kind of surprisingly little screen time. He was mostly relegated to the b-plot. I think a dead Don Rickels got almost as many lines. This one might be different since they wrote woody off in the last one, though.

In sequels that no one wanted or asked for they've announced that Will Smith will be joined by Michael B Jordan for I Am Legend 2.

Also how is Will Smith going to be in it if they’re following the alternate ending? Anyway, I’ll believe it happens once it’s actually released and not a second before.

It is interesting that he brings up The Last of Us as an inspiration, I wonder if we’re going to see a new wave of nature-reclamation apocalypse movies for lack of a better term now.

My son had a BIG TIME Scooby Phase and I assure you the Hex Girls own and Witch's Ghost is a banger (for Scooby Doo...which means it's often barely tolerable but somehow gets by on charm and wholesomeness).

You're remembering it backwards. The alternate ending is the one where Smith lives; the theatrical/original ending is the one where he blows himself & the attacking infected up with a grenade.

Dreamworks is also working on a live action How to Train Your Dragon movie. It does have a slight boost with the director of the original trilogy returning but it still seems a little pointless.

I get why he did it, but the story in Copenhagen (Michael Frayn) seems like it would have been right up Nolan's alley and has more interesting characters than Los Alamos. Still really looking forward to seeing Oppenheimer
