Edmilson 7,466 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Miss comic book movies? Don't worry: 2025 will be a big year for the genre. Which one of these are you looking forward to more? Me: Supes, Bats and perhaps Fantastic Four, even though I'm a little cautious after two crappy attempts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmilson 7,466 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 I hope this movie doesn't settle for being just an action thriller of a few characters trying to escape political chaos, otherwise it'll become just one of those The Purge movies. I hope it leans into the complex political situation that can lead to such a situation. More political commentary, and not just scenes of the main characters seeing on TV politicians doing speeches while the chaos rages on around them.

Florida, Texas, and California is a slightly more interesting mix, though. Might not be as brain dead as I'm expecting. But I bet it will be.

Nick1Ø66 4,718 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Those Sam Mendes Beatles movies look fascinating. What a cool, ambitious idea! Mendes is a director I like, and excited to see what comes of it. Civil War, on the other hand, looks cynical and exploitive. I don't like mean-spirited movies, and this just looks like it wants to do nothing but play on people's fear and hysteria about what's going on in America right now. I almost hope it is brain dead, because otherwise it's a Purge movie that's trying to take itself seriously and wants us to do the same. Hard pass.

Edmilson 7,466 Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 The release date puts the movie outside of the next Oscar race, which means that despite having the director of Parasite Warners doesn't think this would have much chance of winning some awards. Unless they release it on a few selected cities and then open nationwide in January, like they did with American Sniper which, despite having gone wide in January of 2015, its platform release in last few days of 2014 was enough to make it the biggest movie at the box office of 2014... lol. But this doesn't seem likely. Worst of all, despite all the Oscar movies that go wide in January, the month is mostly known as a dumping ground for crappy horror/action stuff. So, judging by that, it's likely that we won't have a new sci-fi classic... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By opening the movie in Jan 31st 2025, the movie is outside of the 2025 Oscar race. So this combined with the delays may indicate that this is a problematic production in which WB doesn't seem to put that much faith. It is looking like it'll be the next Transcendence. 16 minutes ago, Bayesian said: Well, we are talking about Warners here, which is striving valiantly for the award for most ineptly-run studio in Hollywood.

Edmilson 7,466 Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Looks like a crossover between Guardians of the Galaxy, Suicide Squad (the 2016 version) and Mad Max Fury Road. Even the trailer follows the James Gunn School of Filmmaking. And I imagine a huge chunk of the budget was spent with digital de-aging for Cate Blanchett. But, from the producer of Uncharted and Venom? Really? That is enough to make me not buy a movie ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmilson 7,466 Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 If Sanders invited Powell, he probably alleged he's too busy with Thelma the Unicorn, That Christmas and the HTTYD remake. But Silvestri seems to be available... He doesn't have any big projects upcoming aside from the newest Zemeckis CGI stuff. But to be honest I guess either Sanders and/or the studio wanted someone new and Bowers is on the rise over the past few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How the mighty have fallen Not counting 2020, this will be the first year with a single MCU movie since 2012, with The Avengers. Ever since they began 16 years ago, the only years with just one MCU movie were 2010 (Iron Man 2), 2012 (The Avengers) and now 2024 (DP & W). In 2009 and 2020 there were no new MCU movies. So since the first Iron Man they had: 12 years of two or more movies (2008, 2011, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2021, 2022, 2023); 3 years of just one movie (2010, 2012, 2024); 2 years of no movies at all (2009, 2020); A crazy run!
