He put it in the grossest, most extreme example possible but he's not wrong. The invasion of privacy with AI deepfakes and body scans is extremely concerning and I don't think anyone's equipped yet for the legal/criminal/moral questions they're gonna be raising in the near future. What he's talking about is already happening online with celebrities being deepfaked into pornography against their consent and knowledge, Penn's just asking execs how they'd like it to happen to them. -
This 20 second teaser has generated more positive buzz online than any of the god awful Flash trailers did (which we all had to hype regardless of what our eyes were seeing bc test screenings). I'm hoping reshoots didn't sand down an initial crazier cut (Wan did cite Planet of the Vampires as an inspo) and he can still deliver the goods.

Glad they kept the trampoline gag in but the Grindhouse trailer looked WAY more fun. They waited too long! -

If anything they make the AMPTP look worse. If these small studios and productions can afford to abide by SAG guidelines then why can't the multi billion dollar conglomerates? -
I'm glad Disney is still restoring their classics, I don't think the others were AS botched as Cinderella's old blurays but based on this screen cap? We could be in for some nice improvements.

Not great for BO perspective but Miami Vice and his other great later work also scored similarly upon release so... -

I really hate that in today's media landscape I have to know studio CEOs by name and have opinions on them. Feels like we never knew producers/execs as much as we do today? The artists were always more at the forefront. I hope that thin skinned comment in Deadline ruins their day today, if they truly are that ego bruised. -

If Killers of the Flower Moon overperforms like I expect it to (paired with Oppenheimer's success), I think this has a strong shot of breaking out. It'll be good counter programming for adults this holiday season as well.
