That Nolan style works well for a character like Batman but not so much for characters like Wonder Woman and Superman (or their take on Flash). That's part of the reason the Wonder Woman movie was so well received. It was the first to fully depart from it. Trying to figure out the tones for...

The first trailer should drop early next week or at least by Wednesday since it's been attached to Coco.

Title: The Incredibles 2 Genre: Action, Adventure, Animation, Family, Science Fiction Director: Brad Bird Cast: Holly Hunter, Sarah Vowell, Samuel L. Jackson, Craig T. Nelson, Brad Bird, Huck Milner, John Ratzenberger Release: 2018-06-14 Plot: Bob Parr (Mr. Incredible) is left to...

Going "full Marvel" with Snyder's visual style would be a mistake. Ragnarok did have a sequence (Valkyrie's flashback) that was very Snyderesque but it did it in a serious moment for that movie. Trying to blend that in from start to finish and not have it feel like a mismatch would be an...

Sounds like the economy version of 4D.

They've started allowing social media responses and for the most part they're mixed; not great, not terrible, you can tell they're trying to make things more upbeat, etc. Flash and Aquaman are the break outs, villain and Cyborg are weak.

I would think that would be expensive. Anything that requires showing large scale space battles is going to be pricey. I know they do something comparable on GoT a couple of times a season but they don't have to build out a lot of physical set pieces on location to make them look like they're...

Are they doing character focused spots this time around? I can't remember if they did that or not in the deluge of spots for the first two movies.

What if you hate 3D and don't give a shit if they never implement holographic technology for movie viewing because you know they'll just cack it up but jack up ticket prices to experience it anyway?

“After years of weekly emails and countless carrier pigeons, Good Housekeeping finally returned my calls,” says Deadpool. “And while it’s a dream come true, apparently we have vastly different opinions on the definition of a ‘holiday spread’… They've actually printed up copies of Good...

I'm guessing he wasn't the first time they fucked but he threw the possibility out there on the chance that they might patch things back up and they'll get the more concrete answer in a later episode.

As part of that same announcement yesterday Disney also said their streaming service would be priced "significantly below" Netflix to reflect the lower amount of content the service would have at launch and would increase over time as the library grows. I don't know what they consider...

I doubt they'll ever get to that level myself. For starters Marvel is the better run ship, creatively and otherwise. And it should be at this point because Marvel has a huge mountain of material, developed and built up over decades by a variety of talented individuals, to adapt into movies and...

The most likely direction they'll take for a series at this point is probably going to be the Underworld series that Lucas had done some pre-production work on but abandoned before selling the company to Disney. Reportedly they had scripted over 50 episodes before coming to the realization that...

Was there anyone who actually thought after Disney paid $4B for Lucasfilm they would knock out a few Star Wars movies then move on?

Failure on what level? Remember the Norton Hulk movie is part of the MCU. A not so good entry that made a little more than $260 million and it's still technically a success.

He's not the walking photo album that Ron Howard is but he's been a pretty good sport on social media this whole time.

Apart from the Skywalker saga and "will introduce new characters from a corner of the galaxy that Star Wars lore has never before explored" according to the announcement. " "He’s a creative force, and watching him craft The Last Jedi from start to finish was one of the great joys of my career...

They've decided when the review embargo will lift; the Wednesday morning before release. Less than two days before the early screenings start. They tremble in fear of the tomato over at WB.

Hopefully Peter Jackson's ego has ballooned to the point that he won't deign to be involved with this.

I wouldn't be too worried about that. I'm sure they will all continue to have comedic flares sprinkled throughout like they always have and a few will swing more heavily into comedy like GotG did. But Marvel is creating differences in their movies by mixing in other genre types and some will...

Fox has Doom and a good chunk of the notable cosmic characters because they have Fantastic Four.

I didn't skip over that. I said Disney has a history of letting their individual studios manage their properties creatively. But as I pointed out all the studios they've acquired before now like Pixar, Marvel, and Lucasfilm were good fits for Disney in that the kinds of movies they make were...

I didn't say anything about a mutually successful deal. But if they do decide to have Hela replace Death in the story line he would be a natural replacement for Mephisto with the opportunity for some in-laws or nepotism humor boot.

Because a $400 million world wide box office wasn't enough for it to clear a lot of money, especially with so much of it coming from overseas where the studio cut is often less than the domestic. Depending on which reported budget figure you go with it did either a little better than break even...

It not just a matter of the movies being good. It's the breadth of the variety of those movies that the current arrangement is capable of producing. There's value for audiences in that as well. Would a Deadpool movie that was more in the vein of Rangnarok have been good? Probably. But that...

I hope it doesn't happen. I know, I know ... everyone wants to see all of the Marvel properties under the tent that seems to be consistently making the best comic book movies at the moment. But we'd have never gotten the Deadpool or Logan movies that we did had they been in house with a Disney...

By essentially shooting two movies and cutting them together to make one. This thing is gonna clock in at twice the cost of Blade Runner 2049 but somehow I don't think I'm going to enjoy watching it half as much.

Yes that was a great touch and gave me a good chuckle but ... Zeppelin.

X-wings!!! I'm guessing that spec data on Thrawn's new TIE convinced the Rebellion they needed some thoroughbreds for the mid-season finale.

I have to admit if I had seen none of the trailers and wasn't semi-expecting it I don't think I could have handled it when Immigrant Song started up during that scene with Surtur. The perfect Thor song that I'd never dreamed of being used in a Thor movie used perfectly ... twice!

WB is coming to the realization that they have, traditionally, done pretty well with their comic book figures in solo movies. Most of the time. It's the ensemble efforts they're struggling with. They've been signaling a return to concentrating on those solo movies for some time now. If JL...

Sif wasn't around for Ragnarok because Jaimie Alexander wasn't available during production. I know she and BRB have some history in the comics. They might end up using him in a later movie to explain where she was when it all went down.

I'd link the original WSJ article but it's behind a paywall. ‘Justice League’: Warner Bros. CEO Reportedly Mandated a Runtime Under 2 Hours $300 million budget .... yikes.

Yeah they announced he'd be showing up back during Star Wars Celebration. Warwick Davis voices him but they've modulated his voice so much you can't really tell it's him.

I'm glad they didn't try that. I get the allure of the character but I'm really not a fan of those books and I don't think they're the sort of thing that would adapt well for broad appeal. A villain that is a long game strategist really needs a series to shine but then you get into the whole...

If fans of Zahn's Thrawn were wanting him to be treated on par with Vader, Maul, or Tarkin then they should have hoped he wouldn't be a long term recurring character when he showed up on Rebels. He was never going to be allowed to wtfpwn the way they would want him to and the longer he hangs...
