They all created the monster with their behavior the last 8 years.
This. Looks. So. Good.
Awesome. We finally get a decent live-action version of the Punisher. ONLY TWO MORE DAYS.
I didn’t like Superbad or Pineapple Express, so I seriously doubt I’ll like this. However, this did make me chuckle a bit:
What the frak did I just watch?
This is another 120-second idea turned into a 90-minute movie for no reason other than because an executive in Hollywood somewhere went “Sure, let’s bankroll Seth Rogen and all of his friends turning a question you ask when you’re stoned out of your fucking mind into a movie.”
They’re doing exactly what the filmmakers asked them to do.
But it does have the expectation of making a profit. The filmmakers are drawing salaries and using the funds to forma studio.
It absolutely is a for-profit venture. The kickstarter money is being used to pay salaries and help start their own studio.
I didn’t realize they were paying themselves. IANAL but even I know that would get you into trouble.
Yeah, protecting the ideas that they developed and own. What horrible people they are.
Copyrights exist for a reason. This is not Nintendo being a dick and pulling harmless clips of Mario Maker off of youtube. I’m shocked that so many people think that you should just blatantly be able to steal other people’s ideas because... you liked them so why not. The level of ownership fans feel over work nowadays…
It’s not the crowdfunding they have an issue with, it’s the fact that the main players in the game gave themselves a salary and are using Axanar to help start a new studio.
CBS and Paramount allow for fan films to exist as long as nobody makes a profit off of the product. Drawing a salary and funding new studios breaks…
The makers of Axanar are paying themselves salaries from their crowdfunded movie and wanted to use the money to set up a future, for-profit studio for the creators, and they were doing it on the back of fans of an established, copyrighted franchise which CBS, who own the TV rights (and Paramount, who own the movie…
Keep in mind CBS is going after them because Axanar is no longer a “non-profit” production, since they are paying themselves with Kickstarter money and planning on using funds to open their own production company.
CBS is definitely not wrong. It may be kind of a shitty thing to do, but they are backed by the law. If the fan film were not being crowdfunded, this would probably not be an issue. As soon as there’s money involved, everything gets more complicated as it could be argued the makers of Axanar are actually profitting…
