Were the original films that successful, that they need a reboot now?

I see all 3 of them are lower than 6 at imdb.

Unless they feel, because they weren't very good they need to reboot to make it better!

By the way, I remember enjoying the 80s animation film.

I would assume it has more to do with the success of the toys and animated shows, than those movies.

Who's Max Landi?

I don’t know but assume if you put them in a room with Min Oceani, they will cancel each other out.

I thought no one would never hire him again after the sexual assault allegations.

Trailer and synopsis for Scary Movie 6

 

 

Twenty-six years after outrunning a suspiciously familiar masked killer (“Ghostface”), the Core Four are back in the killer’s crosshairs and no horror movie IP is safe. Marlon Wayans (“Shorty”), Shawn Wayans (“Ray”), Anna Faris (“Cindy”), and Regina Hall (“Brenda”) reunite in Scary Movie alongside returning favorites and fresh faces to slash through reboots, remakes, requels, prequels, sequels, spin-offs, elevated horror, origin stories, anything with the word legacy in it, and every “final chapter” that absolutely isn’t final. Nothing is sacred. No trope survives. Every line gets crossed. The Wayans are back to cancel the Cancel Culture.

They should have rather found someone else to continue the Dirk Gently series. That was brilliant.

Something I realized as I saw the video: "how come Paramount got all those Miramax/Dimension/The Weinstein Company franchises?". First it was Scream, then Scary Movie. Is it because Paramount is now being run by Harvey Weinstein Reloaded? And will they do a new Spy Kids movie?

Posted

Both Scream and Scary Movie were made by Dimension Films, the Weinstein's brothers studio-within-a-studio they had while they were running Miramax.  Disney bought Miramax in 1993, but then sold it off to a holding company in 2010 for $663 million.  That group sold it to a Qatar company called beIN Media Group (a spinoff of Al Jazeera Media Network) in 2016 for $1 billion, and they've owned it since, but they sold a 49% stake to Paramount in 2020, with Paramount Pictures gaining exclusive worldwide distribution rights to its film and television library.

It was cancelled because of low ratings IIRC, not because Landis was #cancelled.

Why they bothered to use the name "Dirk Gently" baffled me.

Heh, those DW eps and Gavin And Stacey are now the only things I find Corden bearable in.

I liked him in Into the Woods. 

 

Oh! Someone in Hollywood is a massive jerk! Alert the... Well, the other massive jerks.

I first read about the Landis thing as a supposed reason for it not getting renewed. Whether that's the actual reason or not I don't know. It shouldn't have gotten low ratings in any case, even if the second season didn't fully live up to the first one.

The first season was conceptually very much based on the first Douglas Adams novel. Plus the stuff they invented included a rhino.

It's been a while since I saw it. The character of Dirk Gently was different, but reminiscent enough as far as I remember. The show was its own thing, but it clearly seemed inspired by/based on the original Adams stories.

 

Spoiler

Plus the time loop plot.

Gently in the books is a rogue and a scoundrel. When he's telling the truth or doing the right thing it's an accident. But he gets in a lot of accidents.

 

The only thing it took from the books other than the name was a hodgepodge of random events that all come together around Gently.

Anyone else think its a little weird that we're already into March and there's still very little hype for all the summer blockbusters coming out this year?

  • April 1 - Mario Galaxy Movie - one of the few with decent promotion so far (multiple trailers, merchanise already out, etc)
  • May 1 - Devil Wears Parada 2 - just short teasers so far
  • May 22 - Mandalorian and Grogu - just short teasers so far that don't really explain what the story is
  • June 12 - Disclosure Day - just a teaser and superbowl commercial, no real trailer yet
  • June 19 - Toy Story 5 - only just got a trailer explaining the story
  • June 26 - Supergirl - just a teaser so far
  • July 10 - Moana - just an early short teaser from last year so far
  • July 17 - The Odyssey - no big trailer yet
  • July 31 - Spider-man 4 - nothing at all yet, not even a teaser, no superbowl commercial, nothin

16 days until Project Hail Mary.

 

OK, Spider-Man is weird.

Yeah, it’s a bit odd for sure. The Odyssey and Disclosure Day are the two titles on this list that would probably be able to get away with understated marketing campaigns due to the drawing power of their directors and I wouldn’t be surprised to see them save most of their marketing budget until the month before opening day to maximize their impact on people’s ever-shrinking attention spans. The Disney titles, on the other hand, certainly seem like prime candidates for sustained marketing campaigns—at least in the old days when a studio didn’t need to set aside 50 to 100% of a movie’s production cost just to advertise its existence to the world.

I don't even think there's a poster for Spider-man out yet. S'weird.

Posted

Yeah there's been a zillion rumors that Sadie SInk is playing Jean Grey

 

But, they've also got the OG X-Men cast in Doomsday, which was meant to come out BEFORE Spider-man while both were being filmed, so now that it got pushed back to December I wonder what changed in both films.

I think I've heard that Arnold was going to make King Conan more times than I've heard about Half Life 3. Including back when Milius would have made it.

 

(Huh. I never realized that Milius and George Lucas were born a few weeks apart.)

So no. Don't need to bother making this movie.
