I’m not familiar with him, but he’s McCarthy’s husband no? So an even lesser Paul WS Anderson, I reckon… xD
I don’t remember what’s the last McCarthy movie I enjoyed… Spy? Which was by Paul Feig who is also pretty bad, but that one was actually decent.

I loved Knives Out, so I’m happy for Johnson, and really hope this still gets a big cinema release. I saw the original three times in the cinema, which I never do.

Hopefully with that kind of money involved they can get a great cast on board, like the first one. I imagine a movie of this type doesn’t require a huge time commitment either.

Pepe Le Pew was cut from the movie for being too creepy, but the Droogs from A Clockwork Orange are fine.

Also, The Joker and Barry Lyndon, together at last:
best part of the Space Jam trailer is seeing the Joker hanging out with Barry Lyndon. two classic pieces of IP. i hope they get a spinoff where they go on a road-trip in Fred Flintstone's foot car. they can drive to my house and shoot me in the head. the movies are back. pic.twitter.com/IkMHvnCgMf

Netflix making live-action Gundam movie with Kong: Skull Island director
Netflix and Legendary are developing a live-action movie based on the Gundam franchise, with director Jordan Vogt-Roberts (Kong: Skull Island) and comic book writer Brian K. Vaughan (Saga, Y: The Last Man) on board to adapt. Netflix announced the project Monday, but said that the story for the live-action Gundam film is being kept under wraps.
Ugh. I love BKV, but Vogt-Roberts is a piece of shit.
I loved one of the announcements said it was Legendary’s first-ever live-action Gundam movie. Which is a great way to tell the absolute truth while hoping nobody looks up G-Saviour.

I know the “wrong colour boots” thing is a touchy subject, but when the character’s defining feature is literally the colour of her hair…
Eh. They might re-interpret the reason for the “red”. (Like, bathed in blood or something.)
Anyway, I think she’s a great choice for this role. Very actress for action stuff, and she’s got the charisma to carry the lead of this kind of show.

Dune won’t be day-and-date on HBO Max:
Notably, Jason Kilar, who spearheaded the day-and-date thing, is basically gone from Warners. The Discovery deal was apparently done behind his back.

Dune won’t be day-and-date on HBO Max: Hollywood Cheers AT&T Retreat, Viewing Discovery As More Talent-Friendly Warner Steward; HBO Max Day-And-Date Strategy For ‘Dune’ Gets A Rewrite Notably, Jason Kilar, who spearheaded the day-and-date thing, is basically gone from Warners. The Discovery deal was apparently done behind his back.
Well, that didn’t take long for someone to bow down…
This is probably great news for Netflix all in all, but still, I guess we’ll see if that deal goes through and what becomes of that whole mess… They should start my rebranding HBOmax to something better like Warner something…
But also… time to #restorethesnyderverse =P
That shit’ll pick up now lol…
Warners are now saying it will be day-and-date on HBO Max:

It sounds like nobody over there is clear on what’s happening with Kilar on the way out, but still currently in charge.

It’s interesting, a friend of mine worked out that the annual subscriber revenue for Disney+ is $828m a year in the US and Canada.
Take off 50% for the cinemas and in 2019 just their top 6 movies made over $1.5bn.
So they’ll expect growth of course but it seems a long way off that streaming can match theatre revenue.
The thing to measure with day and date, when all cinemas are open, is how much it cannibalises the box office. Will people stay away of it just moves up the date when Todd and his ‘wait for cable’ crew watch it?

I think there are movies that people will simply want to see on the big screen. I know I would prefer to see the Marvel films in theaters. There are others, like Godzilla vs Kong, I watched on HBOMax as it was something I was curious about but not enough to spend money in a theater on. I’ll watch Dune at home but not in theaters. I want to go see Black Widow at the movies.
I think some movies that would have normally struggled in theatrical release may get more views on a streaming service.

I think there’s that but also the bit that interests me is how day and date release could influence that.
I know some who just prefer to watch everything at home, I prefer to watch films in the cinema now more than ever as I get way to distracted at home. There are many scenarios – in 2013 when the BBC released Doctor Who 50th anniversary specials in cinemas they got into the UK top 10. Even though it was free to watch on free to air BBC1 at the same time they wanted the social gathering and event.
It’s been hard to measure so far because stuff like WW84 did have cinema takings but a lot of them were still closed or people wary if going.
Wary because of the pandemic or because it was a big ol’ pile of shit?

I know, I jest.
It’ll be interesting to see how Black Widow fares upon release. Of course, that one comes with a $30 price tag to watch on Disney+.

I do too for the most part, day and date only means I get to watch them sooner… so that’s all it changes for me… but I’m not naive, I realize it probably raises the piracy numbers, yeah… specially when it’s not a worldwide release. As a general rule of thumb though, if you’re planning to watch something in the cinema, you will… if you ain’t, day and date doesn’t change anything.

I know only one thing, and that is that I’ll be watching Dune in a cinema on opening week.

Terrence Stamp!
I genuinely wasn’t sure it was him. Thought they might have found a convincing lookalike to add that authentic 60’s feel. Mainly because I also thought he was dead…

I think it was Samuel Johnson who said it best: “when a man is tired of sci-fi time-travel epic-destruction alien-battling war disaster movies, he is tired of life.”
I think it was Samuel L. Jackson who said it best: “when a motherf**kin’ man is tired of motherf**kin’ sci-fi time-travel epic-destruction alien-battling war disaster movies, he is tired of motherf**kin’ life.”

I’m more with Steve; there is nothing about Tomorrow War that looks remotely interesting to me. There does seem to be a lot of shooting and talk about his daughter though.
Kinda reminds me of the premise of that Tom Cruise movie OBLIVION. These films due sorta all run together in the memory though.
From the trailer, the only interesting element is that I got a little inclination that Pratt actually is in some kind of LIVE.DIE.REPEAT loop and there is a twist that he’s actually already gone to the future and come back and this time he has a different plan. However, I think I might be projecting that onto it.
However, it would be interesting if there are several versions of the hero operating simultaneously with different timeline experiences. It’s complex but sorta like the movie TRIANGLE or the time travel in PRISONER OF AZKABAN (or a little like INCEPTION).
I’m hoping it’s better than it looks, given the director previously did the incredibly fun LEGO Batman movie, but my expectations get lower with every new piece of information about it.

When I saw the title, I mistakenly thought it was THE FOREVER WAR which I think would still make a great movie.
Wasn’t there going to be an adaptation of Scalzi’s OLD MAN’S WAR?
There are a lot of things I’d be more interested in seeing. Tomorrow War seems like a combination of Immortality Inc. (Freejack movie) and All You Need Is Kill (Live.Die.Repeat).

The whole premise is wonky.
You know the alien invasion is on Date X and the aliens basically win. Since you have the ability to travel through time, wouldn’t it be logical to go back in time with enough future tech as you can transport to a point where you can train and build up defenses and weapons so that when the aliens do arrive, you are ready for them? You know their basic strategies and weak points so you essentially catch them by surprise. Then its grinding out a victory. And if that doesn’t work, you go back in time again, perhaps further back for even better preparation. This could be the twist you are referring to. Really, there is no strategic value in going back tot he future to fight the aliens. That war is lost.
Honestly, unless I hear it is surprisingly great, I won’t watch it.
