mstrox 6,651 Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 I think you’re reading too much into it. The tone won’t be significantly different - just like the story of GOTG2 is “heavier” than the first, but it was still a dumb joke machine. This will still be a Guardians movie.

mstrox 6,651 Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 There are a lot of actors who stand to benefit from this if it’s successful, those whose name allows them to negotiate points. Thinking Emma Stone from Cruella on D+. And outside of Disney+, all those people whose movies went direct to digital or co-premiered on HBO max over the last year.

Nick1Ø66 4,718 Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 I imagine will get settled privately before it goes to trial. Disney knows they will eventually have to pay her something, the lawsuit at the moment is just a public way to nudge them. Though clearly this is something that's going to have to be dealt with in contracts with big name talent going forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A24 4,339 Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 If Disney agrees to give Johansson a piece of the streaming cake, then everyone is going want that, so Disney is going to fight this to the death. She got paid $20 million for Black Widow. What could happen is that in the future (that is, if there is still a future in a Disney controlled Hollywood for Johansson) Disney will only pay her $10 million (hey, cinema isn't what it used to be!) and a $10 million cut of streaming money. Or do people believe that from now on everyone creative in Hollywood will see their salary doubled? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johansson isn't looking for a "piece of the streaming cake" per se, what she's looking for is a payout more or less equivalent to what she would have received had the film gotten a 90-day exclusive theatrical release window, which is what was contemplated in her 2017 contract to make the film.

Nick1Ø66 4,718 Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Sure they will, and I'm sure every big name star with in a similarly situated film is on the phone with their agent right now. But there's a difference between a studio negotiating individually with its talent and setting a legal precedent, which is what a court judgement against Disney would create. Disney has a choice, either deal with this themselves via negotiation (as Warner did with WW84) and not alienate their big talent, or roll the dice and let a judge and jury decide how much they have to pay. In any event, whatever the legal merits or her case and chances of success, IMO it's also just a matter of basic fairness. Disney put that movie on Disney+ to test a new model and get subscribers. They were apparently willing to sacrifice a significant part of Black Widow's box office as a test case, at ScarJo's expense. Disney gets what they want, and she gets screwed.

Jay 37,369 Posted July 30, 2021 Author Share Posted July 30, 2021 Disney's reply: “There is no merit whatsoever to this filing. The lawsuit is especially sad and distressing in its callous disregard for the horrific and prolonged global effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Disney has fully complied with Ms. Johansson’s contract and furthermore, the release of Black Widow on Disney+ with Premier Access has significantly enhanced her ability to earn additional compensation on top of the $20M she has received to date.” https://deadline.com/2021/07/scarlett-johansson-walt-disney-co-black-widow-lawsuit-1234802440/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, are the beings in the worlds these guys come from really so bad that humanity looks that good by comparison? Because frankly I'm not seeing the appeal.

Sweeping Strings 2,363 Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 On Black Widow's dialogue ... I get that the Widows 'programme' is pretty brutal and all, but I thought that - Spoiler - the stuff about how their reproductive systems are forcibly removed was a bit much. At the risk of sounding like a grumpy old man, to me it was the sort of thing you'd expect in a much darker, non-12A/PG-13 movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
