I'm not a fan of theme parks but World of Frozen at Hong Kong Disneyland looks stunning.
I'm guess it's due to space limitations but interesting that neither US resorts are getting it, it's opening at DisneySea in Tokyo and Disneyland Paris in 2025.

I wonder when Disney plans to release this now because there was talk of giving it a qualifying run but Oscar season is already looking too competitive for a breakthrough. Wouldn't be surprised if they're saving this for sometime next year.
With the first few months emptying out, I think February or March.

Worst WDAS film is a bit hyperbolic, the reviewer clearly hasn't seen Chicken Little.

Pixar's First Streaming Series Win or Lose Bumped to 2024 (thewrap.com)
Never really made sense as a holiday release so I get it. March/April seems like the best time for it to get some cross promo with MLB telecasts.
I wouldn't be surprised if it lands in March.

If the membership is like the board in terms of for or against then it's more likely to pass.

Pedro Pacal seems like an odd choice for Reed.

The amount of actors doing Broadway or West End between now and next year does make me wonder if actors thought the strike would go on a while longer and so sought to do theatre. Steve Carrell in Uncle Vanya and Elle Fanning in Approriate are the two that come to mind.
-
There is a side of me that Sony makes these films to piss Marvel off and also keep the rights for another couple of years.
-
Are they planning reshoots for Kraven as well? I get the sense that Sony isn't confident in either completed SSU films.

I honestly can't see a better deal, the best hope for everyone is tougher AI laws which would prevent any wrongdoings eother way.
-
I do think if actors are concerned about AI recreation, they need to put in contracts saying they cannot be recreated after their death or in general or they can be recreated but they are paid a lot for it.
-
Jeez, it's like Sony reused the assets from Spider-Man 3 for the villain.
People may mock Marvel Studios and Warner Bros/DC but Sony really can't crack doing Spider-Man films without Spider-Man with the exception of Venom.

Many actors are members of both, and they always work together.
Main difference is that Equity focuses on live theater.
I think this is British Equity which is the UK actor's union rather than American Equity the live performance union.

Joaquin Phoenix didn't do any interviews at the premiere of Napoleon, I'm guessing he really doesn't like doing publicity for movies.

Actors could be on Equity and SAG/AFTRA. The rules that are followed will depend on what guild has the contract for that production.
Jonathan Bailey contract with Wicked should be throught Equity, so he would need to follow Equity rules (which isn't on strike).
Seems a bit strange to make him film things with stand ins but I'm guessing SAG-AFTRA can't do anything if he's not on a SAG contract. House of the Dragon being entirely on Equity contract meant that series 2 can be released in 2024 as planned.

Apparently SONY will greenlight Villaneuva's Cleopatra film.
Not without some trepidation, what happened with the 1963 film has become part of Hollywood's DNA. The making of Cleo 63, although it ended up making a modest profit after ten years....is the ultimate out of control film nightmare story. Everything that could go wrong making a film did with the Liz and Dcik Cleo.
Cleopatra is the case of what could go wrong, did go wrong. I'm not sure what $40m is in today's money but in 1963 but it was a lot.
I find it strange that we refer to Columbia Pictures as Sony, we don't call Universal Comcast for example.
-
I am surprised to learn that Jonathan Bailey was on an Equity contract and not a SAG/AFTRA contract for Wicked and did some scenes. I would have assumed he was on a SAG/AFTRA contract given he's not exactly unknown.

In theory a big budget movies should be ok. If required director can put in a clause that mandates release/budget etc. Problems would be for smaller movies. Directors might not want to work with WB On those
Smaller film makers quite frankly can't be choosy who they work with.

SNL always does poor taste jokes. Timmy isn't likely going to be cancelled.
-
The announcement about Tim Miller working on Alien Legion does show the whole 'people won't work with WB' is a load of bull.

It's not because it was Looney Tunes. It's that WB had made a habit of normalizing shelving movies for taxes. And the fact that Coyote V Acme was written/produced by someone in a top position at WB.
If that's the mentality Zaslav has towards a $70M movie, why would his mentality be different with DC projects? If a James Gunn project can get scrapped, why would any creative or filmmaker (whether a big name or a newcomer) trust WB?
People are really blowing the whole film makers are cancelling meetings out of proposition. Are people seriously suggesting people will avoid WB while Zaslav in charge and there will be no WB films or TV shows at all?

Well, when I said Barbie was the next Gentleminions, I wasn't carried away enough, so it will probably all even out:)...

Hell,they have been doing that since the early Thirties, when Mickey Mouse products becmae the first really bid movie merchandising phemenonon.
It's why the whole 'Disney is dying' hyperbole is ridiculous.

Probably a mix of both.
Probably neither. Unless you're Nolan or Spielberg, cancelling because of CvA is a very silly reason.
