General Movie Discussion

Ladies and Gentlemen. The trailer for Neil Breen's newest movie, Twisted Pair.

Netflix has got Andy Serkis's Mowgli from Warner Bros.


Frank Miller has the movie and TV rights to Sin City back.

Actors are angry that the Oscars has a new 'most popular movie' catagory.

Wouldn't it make more sense for the Oscars to nominate moves that WERE POPULAR FROM THE START, rather then nominate movies that for the most part, only a handful of people saw?

Disney could shutdown 20th Century Fox, citing not looking to make genre films.

If this is true, seriously, fuck you Disney. I love the Aliens and Predator films, and if those are on the chopping block, I am not happy.

I assumed they would be. They don't exactly seem like things Disney would want to make. In fact, I'm surprised Disney didn't just let Fox keep them.

Same.

If this happens I will be really upset.

I don't see this happening. Disney like money too much to kill off all of Fox's properties. I can see them trading the Alien and/or Predator rights for Uni in exchange for the Hulk movie distribution rights and something else.


RIP Star Trek 4.





Natalie Dormer will voice narrate the Harry Potter: A History of Magic audiobook.

Asia Argento denied sexual assault...and then a picture of her and her young boy toy has appeared.



Kevin Spacey sexual assault case has been handled to the LAPD.

Because we all know how non-corrupt they are how they refuse to turn the other way...

Athemocracy changed it's name to Animation Nation. This video talks about the cancelled sequels Dreamworks was planning.

The LA district attorney won't press charges against Kevin Spacy, Steven Seagal, or Anthony Anderson for sex crimes.

An attorney from LA not doing anything to actors who do bad things...Because we never saw this play out before...

Sony has just lost the rights to He-Man and Barbie.

So I guess Sony is relying more on their modified and resurrected Spider-Manless Spidyverse now.

Don’t had the rights to He-Man and Barbie? Isn’t there a Barbie movie coming out?

They put it on ice after Anne Hathaway was announced as Amy Schumer's replacement. Needless to say, they never restarted it.

I picture him doing nothing but laughing the entire time

Tom Rothman just got a contract extension as being the chairman of Sony Pictures.

Not only did Warner Brothers get the Barbie movie rights, but Margot Robbie will get to be Barbie after all.

IT IS AS IT SHOULD BE!

Guillermo del Toro is making a Pinocchio movie for Netflix.

If I have this right, Paramount is simply too poor to make Star Trek 4.

It looks like Fox knew about Byryan Singer's...uh...dubious nature, shall we say.

Which will be talked about in an upcoming Esquire article.



Oh. And Ridley Scott is finally making Gladiator 2. Kind of late to restart this after so much time has gone by.


And speaking of sequels that should have been made already...Mike Myers says that Austin Powers 4 is 'looking good'.


Can somebody please explain to me what's with all these sequels that should have been made long ago that are only NOW getting made?! It has to be more then just nostalgia.

Andy Muschietti, who made "Mama" and "It", and is currently making "It: Chapter Two", has signed on to do a re-imagined version of "The Time Machine", with Leonardo DiCaprio producing through Warner Bros. I've quite intrigued by this, and coming from a horror background, his morlocks will probably be creepy as hell...though I kind of hope they update the things from the awesome 60's movie. For example, he's a great take on the  morlock (a bust by Tony Mcvey):



Meanwhile, Julius Avery, director of this month's J.J. Abrams-produced "Overlord", has signed on to do a new Flash Gordon for Fox, with Matthew Vaughn producing. I'm interested in this as well, but doubt very sincerely that it'll survive the Disney by-out as they already have Star Wars, Marvel, and now Avatar.

Universal/Dreamworks will reboot Shrek and Puss In Boots.

Why? Why do this? Why not make more original works? Why not focus on making better movies?

Just...Just why?

It looks like this new Grinch movie is just another crappy cash-cow movie.






Brad Jones actually said that the Jim Carey version is better this new one.

Just came out of OVERLORD. Honestly it was super creepy and terrifying all at once, but I really liked it!

I was extremely skeptical, but holy crap, that actually looks really good! And there are Pokemon from multiple generations as well, so it's not just gonna be a gen 1-fest like a lot of people were thinking, which is awesome!

I had no interest in this movie but after seeing the trailer, it's piqued. Will probably see it on DVD.

A 100 year old Paramount owned ranch got burned down by the California wildfires.

This is tragicomedy. It's funny because it happened to a movie studio that's on fire (Paramount is $12 billion in debt) yet it's sad that such a historic place got destroyed.

it is a boon for them. if it was insured they can recoup the loss in cash.

Also, too bad Austin Powers 4 came too late for Verne Troyer. Sigh.
