Fourth and final Bridget Jones film coming out February 14.

 

 

[A24 4,658]

 

Watched it with sound off but this could be good.

[Marian Schedenig 9,384]

Maybe. Would be nice to have a good film based on those old myths again. But it's hard to judge from the trailer what kind of film this wants to be.

I'm more interested in listening to the score, than seeing the movie.

[tomsmoviemadness 3,689]

Music is by Rachel Portman, so I'm so really looking forward to the music.

First look on Tron: Ares, starring box office dynamo Jared Leto:

 

 

Also, the director is saying that it'll be grittier and more industrial.

[A24 4,658]

And industrial it looks! Just look at the background on the right!

 

I couldn't stand Tron 2 (turned it off) so I probably won't be watching Tron 3 either.

[Jamie Dutton 7,656]

Does anyone remember that movie Tron?

Of course! I love it!

i didn't like Tron 2 either..

[Lady Dimitrescu 9,109]

[A24 4,658]

Don't watch the trailer if you are going to watch The Amateur.

 

 

[Edmilson 9,428]

I liked Tron 2 when I saw it in theaters back when I was a stupid teen, haven't re-watched it in the years since.

 

Never seen the first Tron though, and I'm not sure I'd like it if I tried it.

Proper lolling here at that crack about Jared Leto. Good work, Edmilson.

I never thought that I would see Shadow using a gun again. 

 

Well, at least not in new material.

TBF Jeff Fowler also produced FMVs in the Shadow game, including ones where he had guns. So I'm not hugely surprised.

Huh, interesting how he only worked in that game.

 

And now I discovered that he is going to do a Pink Panther remake, which means that maybe something great can happen.

Jon Batiste doing the ost, as his version of Green Hill Zone appeared in the first Sonic movie, so that means that Fowler already know him a bit.

Are the humans CGI too?

[Jay 40,286]

 

So Disney has not 1, not 2, but 3 live-action versions of their animated musicals coming out in the next 5 months!?

 

Mufasa - December 20

SNow White - March 21

Lilo & Stitch - May 23

 

And then Moana in 2026, and they've got Guy Ritchie directing a live-action version of Hercules?  These live action remakes must be very profitable

Aladdin scored $1.051 billion, and The Lion King did $1.657 billion. With the right remake, they're very profitable.

Don't try to figure out which Disney humans are CGI, that's impossible. Instead, only try to realise the truth...we're all CGI.

As far as I know, none of the live action remakes since then have scored anywhere even close to those figures. It's not 2019 any more.

[Giftheck 1,039]

Half of them were dumped straight to Disney+, to be fair.

Yeah but... Aladdin and The Lion King are the highest grossing Disney animated classics before the 2000s. Aladdin earned over $500 million and was the biggest movie of 1992 while TLK grossed over $700 million, the biggest of 1994. So it made sense that their remakes would be huge box office hits (even though technically the remake of Beauty and the Beast made more money than the Aladdin remake - I guess people were horrified seeing a blue legless CGI Will Smith).

 

Mulan would've been a hit as well if it weren't for the pandemic.

True. But arguably The Little Mermaid, one of Disney's most beloved films, should have done much better than it did in the remake...which was barely turn a profit.

 

And how many times can they remake Aladdin and The Lion King?

 

Never mind, don't answer that.

[A24 4,658]

 

I just checked, it's down to 93%, which still is not bad.

The thing about TLM is that, even putting personal taste aside, it simply looked... uninteresting. Dull. And way too dark (literally, not in terms of atmosphere) for a kids movie.

 

Aladdin also looked uninteresting, at least to me, but it had two advantages over Mermaid:

1. Will Smith (who has some star power, TLM didn't have anyone of the same caliber);
2. It was competing against a string of flops (Godzilla: King of the Monsters, MIB: International, The Secret Lives of Pets 2) so it managed to be the biggest movie until Toy Story 4 almost a month later. The Little Mermaid on the other hand went up against Across the Spider-Verse who had a lot more hype and better critical reception (that said, ATSV only defeated TLM in the United States, in many countries such as my own TLM came out on top against Spiderman).

The Lion King 2029, starring JAImes Earl Jones as Mufasa (who somehow sounds even less interested in the role than the real James Earl Jones did when he played it in 2019)

[Jamie Dutton 7,656]

I saw several of the Disney remakes and they were all awful. AOC as Snow White looks no different. If anything, it looks worse. 

[Lady Dimitrescu 9,109]

Why are the dwarfs CGI? Aren't there dwarf actors in real life who could've played the roles?

[Jamie Dutton 7,656]

They're paying geeks at computers to poorly animate roles that could have been played by humans.

Someone apparently decided, on behalf of little people everywhere, that it was offensive for any of them to play these "backward" characters.

Geez Louise, this is bad.

I gave up at the 1.49 mark.

It deserves to sink without a trace, but it will probably make more than the GDP of Uruguay. There's no justice.

I don't know how a studio known for its artistry can put out movies that are so ugly and poorly rendered.
