Movie News & Miscellany

Man. I missed the Power Rangers boat, I guess. I never saw the appeal back in the day so this thread reads like a foreign language to me.

I am so far out of the loop on the power rangers, I thought you were talking about some boat the rangers had...

More forth wall breaking from Deadpool...

 

[Hailey Knight]

That's an excellent Ryan Reynolds sound-alike.

EDIT: Never mind, that IS Ryan Reynolds. Just ignore me.

 

[Dei]

Speaking of which, when I bought the blu ray today, I was told to save my receipt because I guess there's a bunch that don't work. (1 in 25000 or something?)

I don't know, sounds like he'd come in 2nd in a sound-alike contest.

I was invited to be part of a podcast recently! I haven't had the chance to listen to it yet, myself, but check it out!

The Assassin's Creed movie has pre-order bonuses.

This is a thing that is true.

 

[CynicismKills]

Hah.

At least the bonuses for the Warcraft movie are given just by logging into the game for a period after the movie's release (2 months, I think).

It's already a thing...

I've had this version of the song stuck in my head as recently as last week.

Those aren't the lyrics I know.

The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai gets a TV adaptation by Kevin Smith



Never watched the movie myself but I believe some people here did and will find this interesting.

 

[GasBandit]

Buckaroo Banzai had hints of lore that could really be developed well into a TV serial format, if you ask me. There was a lot of stuff they had to gloss over, and a lot of things that could grow into season arcs.

So Daniel Craig is out as James Bond and apparently the overwhelming favorite to replace him is Tom Hiddleston.

 

[CynicismKills]

I didn't realize how much I want Ron Perlman as Cable until this very moment.

 

[ThatNickGuy]

Dammit, there's no love for Keira Knightly as Cable, huh? Because when Deadpool mentioned her at the end as a possibility, I legitimately thought that'd be hilarious. It's not like Cable is some deeply-woven character that they couldn't pull it off. Deadpool could make constant cracks about it, too.

I think I'd still prefer Fassbender, but I guess Hiddleston would work too.

 

[evilmike]

I didn't realize how much I want Ron Perlman as Cable until this very moment.

I think the only fair way to decide is to have Ron Perlman, Stephen Lang, and Keira Knightley fight in a cage match. Winner take all.

I think the only fair way to decide is to have Ron Perlman, Stephen Lang, and Keira Knightley fight in a kiddie pool full of baby oil. Winner take all.

FTFY

 

[bhamv3]

FTFY

I support this proposition.

 

[Celt Z]

That's how they should have settled conflict Civil War.

And Thor.

And possibly the Infinity War.





I'll be in my bunk.

 

[Null]

I finally saw Ant-Man. Loved it.

Shane Black is making a Doc Savage film, and it will star Dwayne Johnson.

That could be fun. Lots of action pieces and plenty of opportunity for The Rock to mug and do comedy, which he's actually pretty good at.

 

[Hailey Knight]

Rogue One is going through reshoots ... like, heavy reshoots. About 40 percent of the movie is being reshot to lighten the tone and throw in a Han Solo cameo.

This sounds bad, but apparently the rumor about a bad test audience reception is false. No one has seen the movie. The script writer finished a final draft, and the draft being shot was an earlier draft that was a-go because Disney couldn't wait (like WB). So now everyone's back for another eight weeks of shooting.

 

[fade]

I was talking to a friend who works in the industry and his response was basically that for some reason people are reporting these reshoots more lately, but in reality, they're pretty standard for blockbusters.

That's a good point. LOTR trilogy had a ton of reshoots and pick-ups according to the Extended Edition.

Did your friend comment on whether reshooting (allegedly) 40% of the film would be considered an unusually large proportion?

 

[CynicismKills]

Judd Apatow thinks most of the people hating on Ghostbusters are Trump supporters.

Because you can't just think a trailer makes the movie look bad.
