    Does nobody understand that this is Michael Bay's movie? Yeesh.

     

    Does that mean it deserves a pass? 

     

    And on the topic of more money for script rewrites:

    It can't make it any worse.

     

    Yes. It. Can.  Do I need to quote the innumerable examples in Hollywood history?  (Green Lantern being just one of the most exploited debacles.)

    Don't get me wrong, but if they see that the script sucks, what's a few extra bucks for maybe a re-write or two?

     

    More hands in the pie (even if simply "polishes") always muddles the recipe. 

  2. This may not have been released in China, but it was released in Taiwan...which China considers a part of itself, when convenient...

     

    I happened to be in Taipei in Jan. 2015 for this film's local red carpet premiere.  Hemsworth and Mann didn't see fit to show, but the evening was attended by Chinese-born Tang Wei, who was infamously "banned from acting"/blacklisted for a few years by the Chinese government after her appearance in Ang Lee's Lust, Caution (2007).

     

    Tang Wei had also just married a South Korean film director in 2014...I'm guessing that didn't help the Chinese government's perception of her...or Blackhat.  ;-)

  3. The original filmmaker agrees.

     

    Nicholas Meyer on STID: "Well, you have to be flattered that somebody wants to sort of try and make your movie again. But the difference between a rip-off and an homage is that you are supposed to add something."

    Well, to stop the production of a movie, must be pretty serious, he is badly injured and probably need complex surgery to fully recover, if he can.

     

    He got hit by a freaking car from a bad angle it seems.

     

    This is serious. And it's more serious than they let on in the first place, which was easy to see, based on early leaked news of the accident.  So it shouldn't be so hard to believe that the film will be "delayed indefinitely" (i.e. canceled for now), especially if the other item this person mentioned is true.  Fans are fans, I guess...

    ....I cant really explain Green Lantern though :mellow:

     

    No one can.  And the idea that fans think Warner Bros. is going to touch that character with a ten-foot motion capture pole anytime before the third act of Justice League 2 (if that film even happens) is hilarious.  They sunk $300 mil down the toilet -- they're pretty wary of wading into those green, sludgy CG waters again. 

     

    ...And now, they clearly have much bigger problems to worry about.
