Wasn't this already done in 2004 by Adam Mckay?
I guess this must be what you're referring to...

Well, on the bright side, she's a Golden Globe winner...

I think it's a shame that Indivisible, faith-based film about a war veteran's marriage, wasn't at least on the list of films to choose from. There hasn't been any marketing for it, so I understand.
I'm gonna continue my trend of voting for overlooked films after Alpha and Life Itself, and this time, I'm voting for Serenity. It's been a long time since there's been a small scale thriller such as this in wide release, and I've heard great things about the director -- he also directed Locke -- so I'm optimistic that the film will at least be a fun time.
Edit: Serenity got pushed to January, so I changed my vote to A Star is Born because I have a family member that is really excited to see the film, and I'll be going with them to see it. And, hey, I'm sure I'm gonna like it. I am an absolute sucker for good movie musicals.

Kidman is almost unrecognizable in that screenshot...

No she wasn't. Nothing about that mediocre film was excellent.
I disagree wholeheartedly. The visuals and production design were top notch imo, and I appreciated how Scarlett Johansson tapped into the robotic nature of the Major character in her own way. She approached the role as an artist, and I must commend that no matter how mixed the reception was.

If they don't include another Avenger or two in the story, this is going to be one of the lowest grossing MCU movies. Nobody likes Scarlett Johansson.
I disagree. She was excellent in Ghost in the Shell.

So they pushed back the wide release now?
It was probably a wise decision; the only competing wide releases are the undermarketed Kin and a spanish-language film from the ones who distributed Overboard, so the film is well positioned to perform like Wind River.

I think this upcoming episode is one that I've really been anticipating from a personal standpoint, mainly because it's such a different week from the other ones so far. Both the story and the game are getting more and more interesting as it goes along!

I guess I’ll need to see this one then?
Reviews seem to highlight the lead guy, the visuals and brisk/epic direction (weird that a 90 minute movie is being called an epic, I’d agree there)
Weird how Sony had absolutely no idea how to market it though, and thus decided to lay it in the dumps of late August.
I found a clue when I looked at Common Sense Media; apparently, the dialogue is a made-up prehistoric language with English subtitles.

Sooooooo the Audience Score for this is 31%.
I guess John Wick increased people's taste in action films en masse. That, or people disagree strongly with Berg's political philosophy. Either way, an action film with unnecessary shaky cam and fast-paced editing deserves reception like this in 2018. Iko Uwais deserved better.

Maybe they take a school of kids on a bus and field trip to local filming sites where random people are filming scenes.
Perhaps. Because five-sixths of the Hollywood films we're getting right now seem to have had their ideas provided by children themselves.

I dunno what Lionsgate's doing, but it's to the point where YouTube surveys are the only place I'm seeing this. Did they have one too many flops or something?
Edit: Twenty-One Laps Entertainment. There it is. They're the ones that just flopped with Darkest Minds. Something's happened in response to the correlation with one of the worst flops of the year.

wasn't that film in the 80s and 90s before they could tell lucid real stories with VFX.
Im not sure, but the 8s and 90s seemed to be different story after different story. Maybe the Academy Awards ended on the same note each year with similar roles pointing at a similar theme each year,...…. hence not many storytelling risks?? i'm confused.
I don't think the decisions on which films are made can be entirely known to common folk in this day and age. By reading a website article, I caught a glimpse of a producer chat room for the movie Pixels, and they were excited, not for the video game references and things like that, but for the underlying context of the film and the relationships between certain characters - things that the filmmakers completely fumbled on.
I'm sure producers aren't completely idiotic. But the fact still stands that, for some reason, the only projects that seem to be getting through the door are retreads. But I'm hoping to be different from the filmmakers that accept it.

do a group of people have creative control over the slate of films? Say there are 3 ideas stuck on a wall and there is an NFL draft like scenario with 300 movies going to those 3 ideas w/ creative control over it. Is that something that happens year-to-year in the history of cinema?
where do these 3 main ideas come from that movies are written around? How do they get controlled? How far do these questions go? and why the hell would people sign up to play the same shit? dirty money?
I'm not really sure, but I know that Hollywood isn't wanting to take many storytelling risks... that's for sure.
I don't believe that an oligarchy decides the slate. However, I do believe that it's young, careless marketing teams that are appealing to the clueless producers.

Yup movies fell more than I expected on Wednesday. Slenderman and Dog Days especially screwed me over
Slenderman was my worst by far! I thought the teenage crowd would've supported it a little more than they did for sure!
