#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Honestly, at this point I'm not really bothered about legit versions of the untouched OT anymore. If I wanna watch the old Star Wars movies I'll just go for the despecialized ones, they're great. _deleted_ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Fuckin' nerds on Facebook. All they care about is their stupid X-Men and Fantastic 4 being in the same universe as the friggin Avengers. None of them seem to give a shit about what impact this potentially has on film and the industry as a whole. I swear, comic book films have ruined cinema and utterly destroyed nerddom's appreciation of it as an artform. crumbs and Corellian2019 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filmmusic 1,842 Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Oh, I didn't know that 20th Century fox has been renamed to 21st century and has a new logo! I guess it's because i watch old films and haven't seen any new with the new logo. James 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Not quite. 20th Century Fox is still the name of the film studio. The logo received a glossy new update in 2009, but nothing dramatically different. However, 21st Century Fox is the new name for News Corporation (the parent company of 20th Century Fox) after Murdoch decided to rebrand. Might have been a company restructuring, I'm fuzzy on the details, you'll have to look it up. James and filmmusic 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A24 4,346 Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Now that the Alien franchise belongs to The Mouse House, a family-friendly company, what will they do with it? Will they fire Scott and reboot the franchise so that all ages can enjoy the Alien universe, or will they simply bury the franchise because it doesn't correspond with their outlook?

crumbs 14,319 Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Financially it doesn't make much sense to spend billions acquiring all this IP then just shaft everything without a PG-13 rating. Worst case scenario they just AvP-ise the franchise but I reckon they'd sooner offload the IP to a subsidiary studio that still produces adult movies that don't fit with Disney's four-quadrant demographics. I mean, are they really going to bury franchises like Deadpool, Alien, Die Hard, Predator and Baby's Day Out just because they're rated R? The residuals and merchandising alone are worth billions! I hardly think they'll turn their backs on hoovering up all the home video and streaming revenue they generate, especially with the big fat bill they have to pay off after acquiring it.

Holko 9,531 Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 I hope it's not a complete integration, just becoming a subsidiary. Would hate to lose the most iconic fanfare of movie history. And now they can strike a deal more easily to have it in front of the theatrical SW releases so they won't have to truncate them and they can be true archival releases! *goes to sob in the corner because the industry is horseshite and that will never happen* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
