muscles like this! posted: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.

muscles like this! posted:In Star Wars news, Patty Jenkins and Kevin Feige's respective Star Wars movies have been canned. Taika Waititi's is still on. I’ll believe Taika’s is still happening if it actually airs. I know as of last year he said that his movie didn’t even have a story yet, just the logo they came up with when it was announced. That means his movie is at least three or four years to actually coming out, which is plenty of time for it to get canned given the post-Disney Lucasfilm track record.

I'm honestly surprised they haven't done a live action Family Guy gag yet. Even Simpsons at least had the Halloween gag of Homer in the real world pretty early on.cant cook creole bream posted:I appreciate that they didn't recast Patrick Warburton, because that dude is great, Isn't he a chud? I know he did an interview pretty recently about both refusing to apologize for Family Guy insulting people and also complaining about how the show makes fun of Christians.

Timby posted:Hercules, a Cruella sequel, an Aladdin sequel, The Sword in the Stone, Hunchback of Notre Dame and Robin Hood are all in various stages of pre-production. Snow White and the Lion King prequel come out next year. Looking up The Sword in the Stone, it seems like it's been half a decade since there was any news on it, and the attached director is currently doing a separate YA medieval fantasy for Netflix, so seems pretty unlikely. For laughs, they should give it to Guy Ritchie. Or more seriously, just do a full live action Once and Future King.

DarkSol posted:I think the comparisons that people made when the movie came out (and still make) to Star Wars is unfair and also weak. It’s funny that between The Black Hole and Star Trek TMP, two of the main Star Wars “copycats” were closer to 2001. And the other was a James Bond movie. I know someone at Paramount claimed the bigger influence on TMP going into production was actually Close Encounters, because it being a hit showed that Star Wars wasn’t just a flash in the pan. And Cubby Broccoli claimed that Moonraker had nothing to do with Star Wars, but was rushed to take advantage of the first space shuttle launch, which was originally scheduled for 1979.

DarkSol posted:Interestingly, the launch sequence of the shuttles in Moonraker are actually pretty accurate compared to other movies that try to depict the launch. (And don't use stock footage.) Oh yeah, absolutely. I think Cubby was full of poo poo there and just trying to save face. Especially given the Moore track record of chasing relevance (another funny example of which: the original idea for View to a Kill was that the villain would try to divert Halley's Comet, which was approaching in 1986, into hitting Silicon Valley). And I for one would love to read a long effortpost about The Black Hole! I actually read the novelization first as a kid so then seeing the movie and the visuals/score was even more mind-blowing compared to what I was trying to picture in my head.

Remember two weeks when Lucasfilm canceled Patty Jenkins' and Kevin Feige's Star Wars movies but committed to Damon Lindelof's? Well, guess who just departed from his movie? Hard to tell whether Star Wars or DC films are more cursed at this point. I guess DC at least occasionally puts out a movie.

The Love Guru is really funny for the fact that that of all things was his big passion project and it basically ended his career. Other than cameos the only things he's done since were Shrek 4 immediately after, and then The Pentaverate last year which I don't think anyone I know is even aware of.

Reportedly, Taika Waititi's Star Wars movie isn't cancelled, he just isn't going to start working on it until he finishes his live action Akira adaptation. ...Which might also be taken as his Star Wars movie will never happen.

precision posted:Not following news is wild when I get multiple pieces of info at once lol The Akira movie is one of those things that's I think in its third decade of development hell. Leonardo DiCaprio is the one who was really pushing it for a long time through his production company (and I think used to want to play Kaneda years ago). I think at one point it almost got made by the writer and director of League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, too. AngryBooch posted:Taika Waititi's upcoming sci-fi projects: I can kind of see his style working for all of those... except Akira. That just really does not seem like a good fit at all.

Yeah, Stiller has been directing movies since the 90s, including the original Zoolander. Actually, if anything, Zoolander 2 seems like it ended his film directing career since he's shifted to TV since then. I will say, while I really disliked Zoolander 2 as a whole, I did really laugh at the bit where the Zoolander Center for Kids' collapsing is the movie universe's version of 9/11.

Young Freud posted:More and more I think of it, Michael Crichton's Looker was downright prescient for 1980. Simone was almost there; it just didn't get that recreating actual actors would be the route to take. Actually, if in a few decades we get the complete erosion of actor's rights in favor of AI recreation, I wonder if someday we might actually get the Jason Momoa Frosty the Snowman movie. Taking this to its extreme, I wonder if some actors might push for movie remakes or "special editions" with them inserted into roles that they had passed on. Star Wars: The Super Special Edition with Sissy Spacek as Leia and Kurt Russell as Han, for example. Chairman Capone fucked around with this message at 16:29 on May 7, 2023 |

Do any of the live-action remakes... not necessarily improve on the original, but do anything interesting or innovative with them instead of just adding a ton of CGI? I guess maybe The Jungle Book, but I also admittedly don't really remember the original that well.

If Baby Driver was set on a spaceship but kept the rest of the plot the same, it would have been a better young Han Solo movie than Solo. He even wears the Han Solo shirt and vest! Haha, and looking it up now Ansel Elgort actually did audition to play Young Han.

It's funny to think that when Shaun of the Dead came out, it being a zombie movie was a novelty as much as it being a zombie parody/comedy. Of the modern zombie wave there was really the original Resident Evil movie, 28 Days Later... that might have been it at the time? The Dawn of the Dead remake was the same time around. The Zombie Survival Guide had come out which I remember being a big hit for internet nerds (I think I ordered it and the Real Ultimate Power book at the same time from Amazon) but I don't think I was aware of the Walking Dead comic for a few more years. feedmyleg posted:Shaun is a very fun movie that's solid throughout, but rarely touches greatness. The folks I've talked to who really revere it seem to be people it hit hard for in high school and that elevates it for them. Folks who I've talked to who discovered it later don't seem to hold it in as high regard. That's me, I was a senior in high school when Shaun came out and my friends and I must have seen it a half dozen times in theaters. Still love it and rewatch it every year or two. The ending loses a bit of steam but the first 4/5 at least are still extremely solid, and the very ending of it I think makes up for the dip. I'm one of those who loves it more than Hot Fuzz, which I honestly might have only seen a few times. Grendels Dad posted:Shaun also started the trend of light-hearted zombie rom-coms, which... I dunno, I never saw any of the others but that sure is a legacy. There's Warm Bodies, but I can't really think of another... Fido, I guess?
