    With the future of the Weinstein Company already uncertain, the backers of the family film “Paddington 2” are looking to sever distribution ties with the company, Variety has confirmed.

     

    According to The Guardian, Heyday Films and French company StudioCanal, the co-producers of the film, feel that a movie that caters to children shouldn’t remain associated with the sex harassment allegations against Harvey Weinstein.

     

    The company is still contractually obligated to honor its distribution deal with TWC-Dimension, which was signed back in 2013, but has the opportunity to retrieve the rights if TWC goes under.

     

    Should Heyday and StudioCanal succeed in regaining distribution control, both companies will find another competing distributor to launch the film in the U.S.

    However in terms of new seasons:

    New South Park > New Family Guy > New Simpsons

    Okay, I have to stop you right there.

     

    Modern Simpsons is boring, but Family Guy is pure garbage in every sense of the word. It's easily up there as some of the worst television on right now.

    And there's only twelve reviews. Well now I know RT is useless for TV reviews.

    RT's television section is absolute garbage. TV critics not only account for far less than movies, but TV critics only get the first couple of episodes, and few get reviews for the second season onwards, so there's no good gauge to tell whether the season as a whole is good or not, and most shows slowly get abandoned as time goes on (Empire Season 1 had 47 reviews, Season 2 33, Season 3 32, the latest only 6). Almost every review there is pretty much for the first 5 or 6 episodes (outside of Netflix stuff, for obvious reasons)

     

    Really, the best way to follow TV is to just follow certain critics (My faves are Alan Sepinwall, Daniel Fienberg, and Todd VanDerWeff)

    okay cool, but Warner is still confident that RPO will be a hit given that they started marketing it 8 months before its release date and they are already attaching it to multiple movies.  If they decide to release a trailer for FB2 with RPO, then they'll do so with the impression that RPO will be a success.

    Are you seriously trying to argue with Mr. “Depp did nothing wrong?” Don’t waste your time and energy on him.

    Director Luca Guadagnino is planning a sequel to Call Me By Your Name, which would be set seven years after the events depicted in his acclaimed adaptation of André Aciman’s 2007 novel.

     

     

    “I want to do a sequel because Timothée Chalamet, Armie Hammer, Michael Stuhlbarg, Amira Casar, Esther Garrel – they are all gems,” said Guadagnino during a sit-down at the BFI London Film Festival, where Call Me By Your Name played as a gala. “The texture we built together is very consistent. We created a place in which you believe in the world before them. They are young but they are growing up.”

     

    Guadagnino added that his ideal scenario would be for the second film to be made for a 2020 release. “If I paired the age of Elio in the film with the age of Timothée, in three years’ time Timothée will be 25 as would Elio by the time the second story was set,” said the filmmaker.

     

    Hammer’s character Oliver would be 31 in Guadagnino’s planned sequel – “which will be closer to the age that Hammer will be at the time”. The US actor, who shot Call Me By Your Name when he was 29, will turn 34 in 2020.

     

     

    Huh.
