Can Johnny Depp make a comeback or is he over?
Valonqar replied to Alli's topic in Box Office Discussion
There are comebacks and there are comebacks. Everyone thought Zellweger was a write-off but here we are. Two time Oscar winner, Something that many actresses with consistently relevant careers haven't achieved yet. So who knows what happens with Depp? I maintain that getting off FB franchise is a good thing even if it wasn't his choice. Career dead-end. -

Yeah, this. Big studios very likely won't work with him at least for the time being. So he can re-brand himself like McConaughey did prior to his Oscar win. Pick strong roles in strong small movies and take it from there. In all honesty, having to leave the sinking ship Fantastic Beasts is a blessing in disguise for him save paycheck loss of course. -
Finished reading the script. No spoiler review: it's faithful to the book to a degree. I can see many fans not being happy with this though which will be explained in the spoiler version. It also feels very much like Part 1. The ending is awkward to say the least. I don't see any acting nominations. Characters are just there, move the plot and spout exposition but don't really have much of a character. They are warmer than in the book which is good. Tons of stuff happens yet the middle really drags. If you didn't like TPM trade talk, you will suffer through this for it's trade x 1000. It's much lower on philosophy than one would expect. Dialog remains rather stilted. Paul and Jessica are the largest roles. Leto right behind them but he is so boring and the reason for middle drag. Duncan has 2 great action scenes but isn't in the movie much. Chani is barely in the movie and only serves as a fast-baked love interest. Romance is awful like in the book. I followed the script easily because I read the book but this is really a Harry Potter movie - Greatest Hits Digest. If you didn't read the source, you will be confused. Too many characters, and despite tons of exposition, not that well explained universe. If you have any questions, put spoiler tags for the uninitiated and I'll answer in tags as well.

The Batman | March 4, 2022 | Warner Bros.

Colin make up is totally winning Make up Oscar. It's unbelievable. This looks great but hard to keep hype for so long. Oh well, they'll revive it when the time comes. Zoe's on fire! Stunning, very feline! It's great to see the reunion (Colin+Zoe) of the best actors from Fantastic Beasts. Nice of WB to put them in this. @Maggie Colin may not have lived up to his leading man potential but he's still working on relevant projects while many others disappeared. It's a tough industry so working at all is a win let alone on something that matters in significant roles. -
I see a lot of votes for Eternals which confuses me. It cannot get 1B without China (more anticipated movies such as Civil War, CM and FFH didn't get there w/o China) and we know there will be explicit gay content (kiss) in it which China doesn't allow. So what does it mean? There won't be China release or Disney will remove the gay kiss for that market and other markets that object like they already did with some other movies?
