Josh trending on Twitter makes it kinda feel like they wasted the big moment that his comeback would be. Needed to announce him as Dent yesterday. @Eric Atreides is no doubt on point, the trailer twist reveal is going to b a giant red herring for sure

Of course it's big on Twitter. Hartnett as the lead is the latest big comeback, he will make a fantastic villain, the film looks very unique, and Shyamalan is capable of utter greatness.

Hartnett has always been a warm, likable screen presence, it is perfect against type. Josh's power.

Helen Hunt is a Josh Hartnett esque GOAT

dude

Recent casting choices have confirmed $200m opening weekend.

true though her earnings from joker related music will likely result in total comp dwarfing that of phoenix

I disagree. Black Adam was a fine hit, we just didn't fully appreciate it in context. A sequel with him fighting Cavill's Superman is an easy $125-140m opening weekend tentpole. Aquaman 2 clearly had high potential. Wonder Woman 3 would have gotten buzz. etc etc.

People have no idea what's going to happen here, and it feels exhilarating. If Disney wants to know their problem is, look no further. "victory has defeated you"

This type of big budget creativity is beloved by Gen Z and young millennials. This is going to be absolutely enormous pop culture moment, I suspect. Music may be even bigger than the film. It is actually remarkable how something which is so artistic and wild on paper is actually extremely commercial. This is where film is in 2024 and it is honestly really exciting. The biggest films aren't cookie cutter sequels, rather they're outside the box takes on existing IP ala Joker, Barbie, etc. It feels very 1980ish.

This discourse is so silly. Call things as they are and don't down play. Had the "Snyderverse" continued", here is what would have happened: The Flash would have been a mild "meh" run instead of the mega flop it was. Aquaman 2 is no doubt a solid, certified global hit with a Dune 2 sequel gross. Cavill's Superman returning to fight The Rock's Black Adam would be themes hyped film of Sumer 2024 if the WB had actually made it. Who knows where they go with Wonder Woman. I think Gunn's Superman sounds really promising and I am excited for it. Anyone acting like Cavill returning the role to fight to The Rock's Black Adam would be anything other than really hyped up event film is being a bit ridiculous. Especially given how flat the slate of summer blockbuster films has ended up looking. Could easily see a $125-140m opening for that type of film which is obviously tremendous by 2024 standards.

Coppola does insist on hearing bad news immediately...

oh brother, not everything is about taking a stand from extreme, this looks like its about the many people stuck in the indifferent middle

All this chatter doubles as advertising and is definitely building curiosity.

The rest of movie was meh, but the opening sequence with young Indy? I will rewatch that over and over for a while.

who is playing Dent in this?

I for one and excited to see this. Covid really got the creative juices flowing some and its exciting to see

RESURRECTIONS clearly established that amount of die hard Matrix Fans out there is pretty small. There should be little concern towards upsetting them. Upside of reinventing something and broadening appeal is easy to see.

90% of this eras republicans are pathetically weak. Raise your hand if you EVER thought you would become a fan and supporter of liz Cheney for anything. Me neither, but here we are.

For real. some Dems 2017-2020: NOT MY PRESIDENT / RUSSIA RIGGED IT FOR DT same Dems 2021 onwards: STOP PUSHING THE BIG LIE YOURE UNDERMINING DEMOCRACY

In all seriousness, my early 2000's self is thrilled to see Kirsten Dunst on the cover of a major mag. For real. Tobey McGuire + Kirsten Dunst "Spider-man Returns" would be H.U.G.E.

This feels like it is going utterly barnstorm pop culture in September and October.

A reasonable both sides take covers more people than either extreme, though, which is the broad point being made. Deep down, both sides know

Agreed x 1000000. JOKER also functioned as the quasi sequel we always wanted needed and never had to Ledger's iconic take. Joker 2 featuring Lady fucking Gaga as Harley is going to enormous.

hold my hand was a counter to I aint worried.
