No way Disney is touching James Franco right now. Dudes only been in the news for the last few years because he sexually abused multiple women, is paying millions of dollars in lawsuits from said misconduct and some of his closest collaborators have sworn off working with him. No ones touching that with a 10 foot pole…

All leaked material from the last couple months suggests it’s Dafoe, but we shall see.
Your last point is what I’m hoping too, but like I said it made me recall the utter mess that was the last attempt at making one of these movies. In true Hollywood fashion the later movies get preoccupied with trying to make the creatures bigger and more ridiculous, but in reality they still haven’t eclipsed the design…
The title switch from Skulls to the almost “don’t you get it!?” Prey and seemingly Hulu-only release (at least here in the states, no one’s mentioned a theatrical release) leave me concerned. Also using the term “highly evolved” just reminds me of the last attempt at making one of these movies where, among other…
I love Waititi’s work, but like Guillermo del Toro before him I’m now taking every announced or rumored project with a large grain of salt. Not everything these men are connected to are going to see the light of day and you just gotta live with that. I’ve definitely gotten my hopes up with stuff before and then it…
I feel bad for all the crew that just tore down those dunes only to have to build them back up again so they can get this movie out in 2 years.
This is so self serious it’s just parody now. I couldn’t help but laugh.
When I heard a few days ago a new D&D book was getting announced I got my hopes up for X and was disappointed when Y was announced because I totally convinced myself it would be X.
When I saw Dept. H I thought, “We really going for Alpha Flight to introduce Wolverine in the MCU?”
Honestly my feeling based on the surveys they’ve sent out over this past year and the announcements last night that this will be more of a retooled reprint than a full 5.5. I imagine this will fix some of the more glaring issues in the 5th edition, such as “challenge rating” being a piss poor way to build encounter or…
Cautiously optimistic for Skulls. We haven’t really had a good use of the creature and formula since 2010's Predators, which I actually really liked, but have to admit it hews a little too close to the first movie.
And that’s why I’m genuinely excited for this. I think the sequels, as flawed as they are, were a cohesive statement and daring effort. Does every bit work? No, the pacing is terrible in some spots, the dialogue stilted and tertiary characters dull. But buried under those missteps was a lot of commentary about the…
One thing that got me really excited in this trailers is the return of weird doors / broken Matrix physics. When the Agent bashes through a door and the hallway he’s going into has a completely different orientation of gravity I loved it.
If you pause at 1:57 it literally shows the original film playing on a giant projection screen in this trailer. It’s gonna be meta as f-ck lol
I am so unreasonably hyped for this. Give me ALL the nonsense. Give me on the nose symbolism, 10 min long discussion of philosophy that grinds the movie to a halt, give me everything Jessica Henwick is doing all the Matrix + Inception nonsense in that trailer. I’m all in for me to walk out of this movie and be like…
I always love this tidbit. Also while it is technically Jaws 4, it’s often distributed as Jaws: The Revenge in most territories.
I really like Thomas Jane. I like Thomas Jane in sci-fi stuff. And I’m willing to say maybe there’s some interesting stuff in the film, but this is a terrible trailer. Jittery, flashing images with no real connective tissue between anything or strong visuals tells me the person who made this has no idea how to edit or…
I’m right there with you.... 6 feet away in another hazmat suit.
It’d be cool if they went somewhere with that for sure, but the episode very much felt like the writers were treating it as a “one and done” kind of thing. I guess time will tell if this plot thread comes back into play.
