Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted April 14, 2016 Awards Moderator Share Posted April 14, 2016 For how many people clearly went to see Avatar at the cinema, the lack of cultural influence it's had beyond the little bump that 3D cinema got afterwards is really interesting. Has there ever been such a successful film with so little legacy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CavemanLynn Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 It did make me revisit Fern Gully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyattSheepMask Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 It's mental that it's the most successful film ever financially. I used it once when md and some friends were talking about the death of the iconic movie theme. Practically everyone on the planet can hum Star Wars on command, but no chance of anyone being able to do the same with Avatar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members lambyUK Posted April 15, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted April 15, 2016 (edited) It's 3D that made that film the biggest of all time. Credit where it's due as it was truly an amazing 3D experience on the big screen. Â However, when I watched it back at home and watched it on a normal TV it was scary how shit the actual film really is.

Guest Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Watched kingsman last night, really enjoyed it. Wasn't the full on parody I expected. Â Re watched the dictator this morning. Much more clever in parts than I remember it first watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members chokeout Posted April 17, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted April 17, 2016 Is there a more obscure movie cameo than Tom Petty playing himself as the mayor of a post-apocalyptic town in The Postman? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperBacon Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Is there a more obscure movie cameo than Tom Petty playing himself as the mayor of a post-apocalyptic town in The Postman? Great shout. Whilst we're on cameos, favourites ever? Mine is Springsteen in High Fidelity. Not only do I love that book and film, but it's just such a great example of a well used cameo adding something different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WyattSheepMask Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Juan Antonio Bayona is to direct the sequel to Jurassic World, film company Universal has announced. Bayona will take over from Colin Trevorrow, who successfully rebooted the dinosaur adventure franchise in 2015 with Jurassic World. Spanish-born Bayona previously directed tsunami drama The Impossible, which earned Naomi Watts an Oscar nomination. Jurassic World 2 will feature the stars of the first film, Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard. The announcement was made by Universal on Twitter and on the company website. "It's official! JA Bayona is the director of Jurassic World 2!," they tweeted. And on the Universal site, they posted: "Universal Pictures & Amblin Entertainment are pleased to announce that JA Bayona will direct the Jurassic World Sequel." The film's plot details are currently unknown but Trevorrow - who will co-write and act as executive producer on the new film - has previously said the sequel will not be like its predecessor. "It will get to be a different kind of film," he said in September in an interview with Gamespot. "The audience has given us permission to a certain extent to take this to the next level, and I don't necessarily mean in scale. "I feel very strongly that it's not about more dinosaurs or bigger and better dinosaurs, it's about using this as a starting point for a much larger story about our relationship with these animals." Either way, Bayona will be hoping the new film will emulate the success of Trevorrow's work, which went on to earn more than $1.7bn (£1.2bn) worldwide. The film ranks as the fourth most successful movie of all time, following after Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Titanic and Avatar. The plot resumed the original film's story of philanthropist John Hammond's dream to create a theme park filled with real dinosaurs, which disastrously managed to escape. Still situated on Isla Nublar, Hammond's dream has come true and the the island now boasts a fully functioning state-of-the-art theme park attracting some 20,000 visitors a day. As visitor numbers start to decline, the park's scientists decide to create a new hybrid dinosaur to boost interest - with inevitable consequences. Speculation over Bayona's next project has been in the air since January when he stepped down from directing Paramount's sequel to World War Z. The company then issued a statement saying: "Because of pre-existing film commitments, Bayona is not able to make World War Z this year and it is our ambition to do so. "He is a wonderful director and we hope to work with him soon." Bayona is at present finishing up on A Monster Calls, an adaptation of a Patrick Ness book, starring Liam Neeson and Felicity Jones.

DeanoTheGame Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Great news, I think The Impossible is such an underrated film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Clint Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 So there's going to be a reboot of the Carry On franchise starting next year. It'll be interesting to see who they'll be casting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
