So, has anyone heard about what the supposed official name for this shared universe is? It’s quite the mouthful.

Will be PG-13
Looks like Tom Hardy's kid will get to see the movie after all.
Seriously though, I'm not trying to suggest that being "edgy" automatically makes something better, but this movie probably would've been better off with an R-rating. It looks pretty generic as it is, and not being able to go all out with the violence isn't going to help.

Sounds like Feige wasn't really consulted on this and it's affecting pre-production and countless people's jobs, which is why he's pissed. I still don't understand why Disney didn't take a week to sit everyone down and then make the decision. Certainly the actors probably would've been more accommodating if it wasn't just dropped like a bombshell before anyone even knew there was a controversy going on.
Because appeasing rapists like Mike Cernovich apparently takes priority...

This is a terrible idea. Does this mean that only indie films will get Best Picture nods from this point onward?

At this point, I wouldn’t be surprised if they cancel this movie altogether.

I'm not a D'Souza supporter, I haven't seen his documentaries, I only know that he says the Democratic party is racist and then the NYT comes along and is like, "we gotchu fam". If opposing racism is supporting D'Souza, I don't know what to say to that kind of accusation.
Racism is unacceptable no matter who it is directed at. This will be my last post in this garbage thread. Here's a more appropriate forum to discuss the issue.
No one ever said that racism is acceptable in any context, but the narrative that D’Souza is trying to promote is that white supremacism is a Democrat ideal. The. New York Times thing doesn’t support that particular narrative, because white supremacists would definitely not be willing to look past an Asian woman saying bad things about white men.
Anyway, it looks like this is going to be D’Souza’s lowest grossing movie to date, in which case, good. That would suggest that people are getting tired of his bullshit.

Shhhh, stop pointing out the inconsistencies, it makes it harder for him to pretend to be better than other people.
I do find it pretty interesting how right wing nuts (just so everyone knows, this is not an attack on Republican people in general, just the ones like D’Souza and his fans) can’t seem to decide whether Democrats are the real racists to anyone who isn’t white, or if the Dems are actively trying to destroy white people. Which is it?

So is the NYT trying to get DJT re-elected?

The "dems are the reeeeeal racists" shtick from Dinesh has a bit more bite when stuff like this happens.
I thought the accusation from D’Souza was that the Democrats are Nazis and Klansmen? This doesn’t really align with that accusation, given that the controversy is in regards to an Asian woman saying negative things about white men.

If this movie can deliver as many memorable unintentionally hilarious scenes, dialogue, and memes as TDKR , then I will be fine with Sony shitting out umpteen villain spin offs. But I doubt it as Nolan is not the director.
I don’t get it. What’s so funny about Nolan as a director?

This movie does seem like an interesting phenomenon at the moment. The latest trailer not only has a lot of views, but it’s also generating a very strong number of likes on YouTube, yet despite this, everyone I’ve seen has been making fun of the movie.

Jeff Sneider said on the yesterday Collider podcast that the movie has serious problems and it underwent massive reshoots last month, which Tom Hardy largly oversaw. And he mentioned a few times that it's rated R. I'm surprised that nobody makes news about it.
It’s difficult to know what to believe with rumors like this after the DP2 debacle.

It would have far more YT dislikes if that were the case.
I assume at this point that a lot of those likes might be ironic.

I guess it’s fair to assume at this point that a big reason that the trailers for this movie are doing so well in terms of views is because people enjoy laughing at it?

Okay, I love Tom Hardy, but his New York accent really isn’t working.
Anyway, there wasn’t really anything about the trailer that grabbed me. That end bit with him telling the guy how he’s gonna eat him was kind of amusing, and the fact that he literally licks someone’s face is pretty hilarious, but for the most part, this seemed like a pretty standard trailer.
As as a side note, as someone who does not understand the complaints about the CGI in the Aquaman trailer, I will say that the CGI for this movie actually does look kind of dodgy.

The tweet, for those curious:
Looks hilarious and fantastic.
They’re really going all out with the 1980s aesthetic.

While I co tinge to be conflicted over James Gunn’s firing, there’s no use in rehiring him at this point. As other have said, that would just make Disney look even worse. What’s done is done. It’s time to move on and find another director.

Hey, I was right.
The good news is that the movie is so cheap that it’ll still be profitable anyway. Still, this would mean that the Warner Animation Group hasn’t had a real breakout hit since The LEGO Movie, despite currently having a much better track record from a critical standpoint than Illumination.

To be fair, it sounds like Netflix is pushing to have theatrical releases before they put it on their streaming platform.
If anything, Netflix and Amazon might turn into new theatrical distributors, which could help given Paramount (and Sony a few years back) have been struggling and Fox is disappearing.
Im also fine with streaming releases too. While I don’t want the only viewing option to be streaming, it’d actually benefit me to be able to see indie flicks (and non blockbuster stuff) through a streaming. Would be cheaper, I could see more movies, and sometimes it’s just hard to get out to the theater.
Plus if anything, Mowgli is going to get more exposure through Netflix than it would through WB. It was going to bomb in its October WB slot, now it has an opportunity to actually get seen.
Dont get the doom and gloom.
That’s a nice way of looking at it. It’s still unfortunate that we’re going to have to wait even longer before we can actually see the movie, though.

It really worries me that this whole ordeal is setting a precedent for studios to just shove any release that they have no faith in to Netflix. There are little risks in Hollywood as it is.

If this is the future of cinema, then holy shit do I not want this to happen.
From the very beginning of this year, I was worried that we would soon get to a point where the only movies that would get theatrical releases would be Disney films. Unfortunately, that’s starting to seem more and more likely.

We are moving quickly to superheroes, animation and big IPs only onscreen. Everything else at Netflix/Amazon.
That’s a scary thought, and Disney’s acquisition of Fox isn’t helping matters.

That’s disappointing to hear, but I guess I can’t say it’s particuarly shocking. No matter how good or bad the movie ends up being, it was always going to have the misfortune of being released so soon after the Jon Favreau film (which I personally didn’t care for). I’m still hoping for a theatrical release of some kind, but I’m not holding my breath.

It'll be interesting to see how this movie fares on opening weekend.

I have serious doubts that this movie will open to as low as $30 million, even with bad reviews.
