    The story is that Albert Pyun's original edit of Captain America was over three and a half hours...but I bet that most of that footage is lost... and he seems to have made his more recent "Director's cut" very hard to find, as well!

    No real news, but more "speculation" and insider rumors that MGM as a whole is likely to be pawned off to new majority owners sometime soon...but even if it is, they don't think it will even go for $10 billion... The dreaded Amazon has apparently had "exploratory talks." MGM, as always, denying everything... https://www.forbes.com/sites/dawnchmielewski/2021/01/30/mgms-back-on-the-block-and-floating-a-10-billion-price-tag-dont-count-on-it/?sh=3f12f862b740

    But many American fans still see him that way...cemented further from the indelible cultural impact of the early Donner/Reeve films... and therein lies the dilemma.... Hugely complicated, actually. I can see why Warners remains frustrated.

    Now if the movie were actually any good....imagine the numbers? I and many others would have probably looked at it a few more times...rather than just once. And runtimes are a factor here, as they mention. But...of course impressive, based on HBOMax's lower subscriber numbers then...and still. More surprising is that THE OFFICE still remains so huge!! #3 😂

    "We're holding out for a hero..." "I never had sexual intercourse with that woman." Two truths, one lie. I wonder if those "insiders" happen to be paid Disney employees are stressfully told to stress otherwise...until things change?

    Aww...bet you guys say that to all the girls...

    Cheaper and less filling continuation of the franchise...but maybe more fulfilling.

    I don't know...I'm amazed that WW84 wasn't stopped at the script stage, having now seen it... "They landed in the Grand Canyon -- it's pretty abandoned, sir." Remind anyone of anything? 😅 I'm glad that Warner Bros./Legendary didn't worry about that thorny argument, at least...
  9. Macleod
    Then why did WB/Legendary/whoever keep burying this thing or kicking it down the road? Something doesn't add up, as usual...

    How about we acknowledge that this is a Box Office Forum and not a #MonstersUniverse Fan Forum, and ideally everyone should be encouraged to fairly judge these products as released, including trailers and previous entries, on how they might "appeal" and produce business? There's been clear mismanagement of this whole franchise from the bottom-up, and I think many agree on that.

    Everything Sony tries to spin-off or develop from the "Spider-Man universe" is awkward, anyway... 😅 Except for that *amazing* Spider-verse movie...
  12. Macleod
    And 'Morbius' as a character and property had been "in development" with New Line through the Blade franchise, then with Sony for years as a property... so it was the obvious first/second choice of Spidey-spin-offs out of the gate, after Venom.

    Early negotiation tactics... it's "the final chapter of a trilogy"... until it isn't. Her initial contract "options" were probably for three films. It is funny that she's using those words, while Jenkins has already mentioned that she has a fourth movie in her head... It really will simply depend on how Film #3 turns out, and how the audience responds!
  14. Macleod
    Who's saying she does? And even if she does indicate that... money speaks. Always has, always will... especially if she doesn't establish any other franchises.

    Derrickson's Strange movie was a bore to me, so I'll have to disagree, here. I'd take a Raimi joint anyday over Derrickson. Having said that... yes, Raimi's OZ was a big bore, too! I'm hoping the plot here allows Raimi to play a little more, though... we'll see...
  16. Macleod
    And they signed Patty Jenkins and Gadot right up for WW3. So someone was happy enough internally, I guess... but that doesn't mean everyone. 😂 Yes, of course they'll always talk up their yet-to-be-released product... pardon me if I just get a bit cynical after a few too many big studio disappointments! 😉
  17. Macleod
    WB "said" that about WW84, too! 😂 🤔 Everything is awesome...until it isn't.
  18. Macleod
    What did we miss?? 😂

    According to this new HBOMax promo, Eastwood and his movie are now also going simultaneous in theaters and on the app... You see him in there, and the title.
  20. Macleod
    Yeah, like I've said... it will be released this year...one way or another. The Bond people, for instance, can hold that thing as long as they like -- they don't have a pipeline of releases that they're attempting to get rolling again, like Papa Feige is.
  21. Macleod
    That would be cool, but I'm betting it's for a multiverse-"America's ass" Cap for a big finale fight in Dr. Strange II. 😁
  22. Macleod
    So was I. I'm saying BOP is aesthetically more creative than anything in WW84.
  23. Macleod
    Do you think they would have done this if not for the outcry from filmmakers, talent? I don't think so. 😂
  24. Macleod
    Regardless, it now appears that Warner Bros. is re-negotiating contracts and terms with all the top talent in their 2021 movies... so that tells us that they are acquiescing to industry demands.
  25. Macleod
    "Creative" aesthetically/artistically -- in style, form, content, camera, editing. Absolutely nothing in WW84 is really "creative" other than perhaps the golden armor...and even that is not even utilized in creative ways that it could be.
