Even Star Wars was never politically neutral. Lucas stated that he drew inspiration from the Vietnam War, and he’s compared Palpatine to people like Richard Nixon.
I never said anything about the budget being $280 million for this. I just said that the ending was reshot a couple of times. I didn’t get that from any ResetEra thread. No way I would ever go near that hellhole.
Yes. They initially reshot the ending last Fall to include Henry Cavill and Gal Gadot in a group shot at the end, and they reportedly reshot the ending again after Gunn took over. I won’t give away what the final ending reportedly is, but I’m inclined to believe it’s true.
I don’t think TSS and Peacemaker are anything special. I think Gunn works best when he’s on a leash. His raunchy R-rated shtick doesn’t do anything for me.
I’d say it was something different back when it came out, but after a decade of movies trying to follow in its footsteps, it doesn’t feel all that special anymore.
The post production window was fairly long, but I don’t know if that would necessarily factor into the production budget. Still, the ending was reshot a few times, so there’s that.
A live action Miles Morales movie would have a lot going against it, and I don’t just mean because of the racist a-holes. It would inevitably have to be compared to the Spider-Verse movies, which sounds like a losing battle if there ever was one.
It would take nothing short of a miracle for either this or Beyond the Spider-Verse to even get nominated for Best Picture, and the odds of a win would be virtually impossible.
I would’ve been fine with DoFP as their last outing, but this surprisingly doesn’t bother me. At least they won’t have the cloud of Bryan Singer or Brett Ratner hanging over them. I just hope they aren’t bringing them back so they can kill them off as part of a joke.
Why are Disney animated movies so expensive compared to the animated movies from other studios anyway? Even Dreamworks seems to have been keeping their budgets under control lately.
