Mr_Danger Posted August 15, 2019 Posted August 15, 2019 I would say studio's trying to build franchises is a big part of the problem. There's a ton of ways for creative film makers to get a film made and distributed but the cinema shouldn't be an exclusive blockbuster hub. Disney making dumb kids movies aimed at adults is fine, I enjoy a fair few myself, I just wish cinemas didn't fill so many screens with the shite. Quote

In my 16 screen cinema, Lion King was on in 10 of them. And that’s why I never got to see Stuber, but I had to sit through that piece of shit. Quote

I'd be willing to put money on Disney striking a deal with a chain sometime in the next couple of years where they only run [insert new cape film here] for the first couple of weeks or so, with no other film being screened. There's nothing good to be gained from their domination of cinema. Quote
Paid Members Hannibal Scorch Posted August 15, 2019 Paid Members Posted August 15, 2019 Their big focus is on streaming. They have already announced a load of films for it, many were originally planned for the Cinema, so the next decade we could see a dramatic switch in how they release films Quote
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted August 15, 2019 Paid Members Posted August 15, 2019 This is unexpected. https://screenrant.com/searching-2-sequel-director-aneesh-chaganty/ Quite happy to see it will be a new story entirely although I will miss John Cho, who is great. Not sure if they can sustain the gimmick again if that's the route they choose, but the original was excellent so I'm interested in this. Quote

Disney spat their dummies a few years ago when they wanted to shorten the delay between cinema and home release of ( I think ) Alice in Wonderland 2 and a couple of cinema chains threatened to just not show the film. If the Disney monopoly doesn’t end in cinema release times being shortened, dual cinema and home release or Disney actually ending up controlling the release schedule for everyone then I’d be shocked.

How are companies like Laika meant to keep going and make these wonderful films when Disney is offering no gaps in the release schedule for these films to get seen? I don't know anything to do with the politics of Disney and their rivals. However I thought Missing Link was rubbish, and that probably had more to do with it bombing than any other reason. Quote

Merzbow Posted August 27, 2019 Posted August 27, 2019 Noah Hawley's got his first movie coming out in October. I've been inlove with his work on both Fargo and Legion so I'm really looking forward to this. https://www.polygon.com/2019/8/26/20833452/lucy-in-the-sky-trailer-natalie-portman-noah-hawley Quote
Paid Members Bellenda Carlisle Posted September 3, 2019 Paid Members Posted September 3, 2019 http://www.darkhorizons.com/vaughn-newton-to-lead-blumhouse-horror/ Vince Vaughn as a deranged serial killer and a teenage girl swap bodies, from the people that brought you happy death day. Really like the sound of this, the first happy death day was great and I'm a fan of Rob Schneider's the hot chick which has a relatively similar premise. Quote
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted September 3, 2019 Paid Members Posted September 3, 2019 I just want Happy Death Day 3 Me. Quote
Paid Members Bellenda Carlisle Posted September 3, 2019 Paid Members Posted September 3, 2019 I was so excited for the second one but I didn't like it at all. Quote
