Does Zack Snyder has some serious blackmail on these studios? How does he keep getting these jobs? Did someone seriously sit down to 300 and think, "My god, he would be perfect for The Fountainhead! Look at all those shades of brown!"

Who knows? If it is, it must be powerful if he's the guy they seem to have handed the keys for the DC Cinematic Universe to.

Besides which, he's also said that he'd like to do a movie about George Washington, because he's inspired by the classic painting "Washington Crossing the Delaware" which reminds him of 300.

Not gonna lie; I've always thought something like that would be fun as hell to watch. Sort of like the American Revolution meets Dynasty Warriors.

I'd also dig it if it was like Shaka Zulu and his army in a 300 style movie.

I would be totally fine with Snyder doing the American Revolution in the style of 300.

This is very much movie miscellany, but... TIL the official movie poster for 10 Cloverfield Lane in Taiwan gives away the ending.

Poster shown in the following spoiler window.

EDIT: Apparently it's not just Taiwan, this is the image used in all of the international marketing.

Apparently the government is taking comments on what the public feels should be done about the current copyright laws when it comes to the internet. But it was done in a low key manner and the deadline to comment is TOMORROW. Doug walker had made a video about it with a link to the website to make your comments to the feds.

Women as horses. Women as cats and dogs. Women as fighter planes. Women as warships. Women as appliances.

Seems like the only thing Japan doesn't like women to be is actual women.

This might not be the right place, but when I looked up some box office information about Batman Vs Superman I noticed one of the highest grossing movies of the year is this movie called The Mermaid which I had literally never heard of. It turns out its a Chinese movie that must have had a very limited release here because only 3 million of its ~550 million dollar gross is from the US. I know people have been talking about China's growing influence on the box office for awhile, but its pretty mindblowing for me to see a movie make so much money with virtually no presence over here. I wonder if this is going to be a growing trend in movies, with maybe some bigger stars working on Chinese films over American ones..

It's telling that box office mojo still classes grosses as "domestic" and "abroad". Should probably be "american", at least.
Also, classing such a movie as "foreign language" as sole genre.
American websites still seem to struggle to decide between wanting to be "the" worldwide page for something, or just the American version of. Which just goes to show .co.us, like .co.uk etc, would've made more sense.
