Upcoming Films

This vs Mufasa... who's gonna win?

 

Mufasa, obviously, because it's Disney. But I know which one will probably be the better film

[Jay 44,382]

Trailer for the second Reality Winner movie

 

 

 

The first one (with Sydney Sweeney) was really good!

[Glóin the Dark 1,679]

Between Reality and Winner, I'd bet that Reality will be the winner of the two Reality Winner films.

 

(Meaning the better film. Of course, in reality, the winner is the one which makes more money, which will probably be Winner...)

[Jay 44,382]

Reality didn't play in theaters so it technically made no (box office) money right?  It was direct to Max?

I went in not expecting much, or rather not really knowing what to expect I guess, and boy, I really liked it.  The fact that I had never heard of the real person or what they did was a benefit, I think.  And Sweeney proved in it that she actually can act (very well).  But a lot of roles she accepts don't require her to stretch her acting muscles at all.  I hope she continues to take parts like this in between the big paycheck ones.

Has anyone caught the trailer for MY FAVOURITE CAKE?

It popped up in my YouTube feed, just now.

It looks really good.

This looks interesting.

2073, Starring Samantha Morton, directed by Asif Kapadia.

Hard pass. I've come to loathe preachy films like this. And it looks depressing AF.

[tomsmoviemadness 4,532]

Nightbitch starring Amy Addams (who I adore!!!)

This looks like such a wild, crazy fun ride!

Interesting. I was thinking the exact opposite.

This looks as though it might just have something to say. What, I do not know, but I'm intrigued to find out.

That's what I'm afraid of.

[Glóin the Dark 1,679]

The trailer is a bit sanctimonious, but then trailers are often wide of the mark as representations of the films. Hadn’t heard of this one before; it will be interesting to see what sort of reception it gets.

 

I found Civil War to be a very different (and much better) film than anticipated on the basis of the marketing.

RUMOR: George Clooney and Brad Pitt courting Edward Berger to direct Ocean's 14

 

I guess that Margot Robbie / Ryan Gosling Ocean's prequel movie is dead?

[HunterTech 1,571]

It is the same company that decided to combine the original and reboot iterations of Karate Kid, so I wouldn't put it past them to make both movies in this instance.

 

No wait, that's Sony. Even then, we are getting two tonally different Batman movies from WB, so that wouldn't be too different from this.

Next year's Karate Kid film retcons the Jackie Chan film into the same universe as the Ralph Macchio films.

[Jay 44,382]

Wow.  Why!?

[Edmilson 11,209]

Was there anything in the Jackie Chan/Jaden Smith movie that said it didn't take place in the same universe of the Macchio movies (and show)? I think this is one of the easier franchise blends to make without resorting to multiverses or whatever.

Nothing at all, really, just that normally a reboot is seen as a new continuity/universe unless specifically stated otherwise.

For how long BTTF and ET will resist before Hollywood inevitably makes "legacy sequels"?

As long as Robert Zemeckis and Steven Spielberg are alive.

 

And I don't think many are clamouring for an E.T. sequel, anyway...

 

It has faded from the pop-cultural landscape, and I'd say is pretty much only fondly remembered by those who grew up with it.

 

BTTF, on the other hand...

Mostly because JW can’t be arsed to write a musical based on ET. Honestly. Some people. 😜

First trailer for The Apprentice

 

 

The music at the beginning is right out of Succession

Shailene Woodley to Star in Janis Joplin Biopic

 

Hollywood's been trying to make this movie forever.  I remember when Pink was going to star when she was still in her 20s

 

Joplin died when she was 27, and Woodley is 32 now.  Shouldn't they have found a mid-20s actress to play her?

New adaption of a Stephen King novel, Salem's Lot.

Looks pretty good with a great cast.

 

Was first supposed to be released in theatres, but after a lot delayes it's now gonna be on Max.

 

 

[Edmilson 11,209]

Some movies coming out next year:

 

[Jay 44,382]

The makers of that graphic forgot that Jurassic World 4 is officially Jurassic world Rebirth now?

[Edmilson 11,209]

Probably. Or this was made before the movie's name was made official. I just found this on Facebook somewhere.

I'm looking forward to Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part 2 and 28 Years Later.

 

[Jay 44,382]

It's interesting how many of the 2025 movies on that graphic had troubles that delayed them

1. Blade - in development hell since it was announced the summer of 2019.  It still hasn't started filming yet, 14 months before release date.

2. Avatar: Fire and Ash - started filming in 2017 when it was supposed to come out in December 2021.  By the time Avatar 2 settled into its December 2022 release, this was supposed to come out in December 2024, then got delayed again to December 2025.

3. Untitled 8th Mission Impossible film - they started filming this in March 2022 when it was originally supposed to come out on July 7th, 2023
4. Snow White - Filmed from March to July 2022, originally scheduled for March 22nd, 2024
5. Mickey 17 - Filmed from August to December of 2022, originally scheduled for March 29th, 2024
6. John Wick Presents: Ballerina - started filming in November 2022, originally supposed to release June 7th, 2024
7. Captain America: Brave New World - starting filming March 2023, originally scheduled for May 3rd, 2024
8. Thunderbolts* - originally supposed to start filming in June 2023 and release on July 26th, 2024

I believe the rest were always 2025 movies.  Though some of the stuff on this graphic I've never heard of before.

[Edmilson 11,209]

I sincerely doubt the Blade movie is coming out next year... Or at all, even. I wouldn't be surprised to see it got cancelled or that Mahershala Ali is out of the role.

[Jay 44,382]

SCORE-wise, I see a lot of stuff on that graphic I'm interesting in hearing:

 

Jurassic Park 7, How To Train Your Dragon 4, Now You See Me 3, Avatar 3, Benoit Blanc 3, Zootopia 2, Fantastic 4

 

MOVIE-wise, only Wake Up Dead Man particularly excites me.  I'll certainly see HTTYD remake, Avatar 3, ScarJo Jurassic, Fantastic 4, and NYSM3.  I liked the first Nobody but it sure didn't need a sequel.  I love most of PTAnderson's work but haven't seen them all and haven't looked up what this one's about.  Mickey 17 I hope is good.  Superman and other MCU movies, I'm sure I'll see eventually but can't say I'm excited much by them.  Zootopia 1 is great but it didn't need a sequel.  Don't know enough about Elio but Pixar's hit or miss lately.  I loved Upgrade and Invisible Man but Wolf Man doesn't look as interesting.  I never saw Mission Impossible 7, but I guess I'll eventually see it and 8.

[Jurassic Shark 15,674]

Ooh, looking forward ot this.

Classic FM reports that Anthony Hopkins will play Georg Friedrich Händel in an upcoming biopic supposedly centred around the composition of Händel's Messiah:

Händel was 56 when he wrote the Messiah, and 74 at the time of his death. Hopkins is 86 now.

So instead of a rat Mickey now is Robert Pattinson in space huh. I guess public domain really allows you to do everything huh lol

[A24 4,956]

Don't forget, Robert Pattinson has been to space before!

I'd be there for OCEAN'S 14 in a heartbeat.

It would be even better if it they brought back Zeta Jones and Roberts.

Not much you can do about Carl Reiner, but I hope that there's a nice tribute in film.
