Rebooting Superman

NOT THIS WAYNEVER THIS WAY!!!He’s due to go into the public domain in about eleven years. I should make a few notes now.First, update his job. In 1937 reporters were a very blue-collar job and were fitting for a farm boy who went to a Moo-U. Today, reporters are journalists and are very white-collar. That’s fine for Lois Lane but it undermines Clark Kent’s character, he’s the kind of guy whose favorite food is his Mom grilled cheese sandwiches and his Dad’s chili. He has...

The Passion of the Christ is Gettin a Sequel

No, I'm not joking. This is real.This is happening.Mel Gibson and Jim Caviezel are signed and Google is suddenly calling the Passion of the Christ a film series.I suspect interest was revived when Top Gun and Avatar both films thought to be dead franchises came roaring back to life in 2022. Remember folks, money cures all in Tinsel Town.Discuss on Social Galactic

Susan Arnold FIRED as Chairman of the Board at Disney

Oh, she’s been fired in a much nicer way than Bob Chapek was. But make no mistake she has been shitcanned. This is not a retirement.All of the Hollywood trade rags wrote basically the same article which tells you right there that Disney public affairs wrote it.The articles all say that Susan reached the maximum governance limit of fifteen years as a member of Disney’s board and therefore had to step down. Really? How long was Bob Iger on the board? ...

Top 5 Discworld Screen Adaptations

"Didactylos shrugged. "The Turtle exists. The world is a flat disc. The sun turns round it once every day, dragging its light behind it. And this will go on happening, whether you believe it is true or not. It is real. I don't know about truth. Truth is a lot more complicated than that. I don't think the Turtle gives a bugger whether it's true or not, to tell you the truth.” The Turtle in question's name is The Great...

Harmonious Is To Be Demolished

Bob Iger is busy erasing Bob Chapek's legacy from Disney.A number of announcements have been made this week that have been reasonably popular with Disney Parkgoers.The hated overnight parking fees at the resorts have been lifted as of today. Disneyland parkgoers can park hop after 11:00 am, (that will not apply to Disney World). Photopass has been added to Genie Plus (meaning it was in the works for a while anyway but Iger's happy to steal the...

Ezra Miller Staying as Flash?

I wouldn't bet on it. Here was the money quote from Variety: “Given that Miller has stayed out of trouble since beginning mental health treatment in the summer, some executives are amenable to continuing with the actor as the world-saving speedster after The Flash” bows on June 16.”Okay, let's unpack this. First, this piece is in Variety, which means that this came from people who are at least producers and could go all the way up to Warner Brothers executives. It...

How Far Will Avatar 2 Go?

Avatar: The Way of Water, while unlikely to break any real box-office records does indeed have legs. It is currently sitting at roughly $1.5 billion, which combines foreign and domestic gross receipts. Granted, the foreign box office is doubling the US domestic take to reach that amount, and studios always get a lower cut of that. In real terms, Disney is at the moment seeing a combined total of about $650 million after the theaters take their cut, but well...

Is This Thing a Thing? – Renfield

Well, the trailer looks good. I can give it that much.Nic Cage is playing the kind of weird that made him king of the 90s arthouse flicks.It is however from Universal and while that is not quite the Mark of the Beast:It is an American studio which is a sensible reason for caution.Who am I kidding? Of course I'm going to see it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7ywx8W-FFw Discuss at Arkhaven Blog
