I desperately hope this merger doesn't go through.

Milly's a no brainer. Now make sure the movie's great. Do fuck this up, Gunn!
It's not Gunn I'm worried about. It's his boss...

My vote is on Milly. Fantastic actress and she's already in the Warner Bros family.

What is the film WDAS removed?
Hasn't been revealed. But they had a film scheduled for that date and now it's vacant.

Pixar is more or less Disney's strongest (or least damaged) brand going into 2024:
- Marvel has lost a lot of its goodwill between the VFX drama, less-than-stellar box office, and the disastrous reception to Secret Invasion forcing them to rethink their whole strategy.
- WDAS just removed their next film from November 2024, probably to re-evaluate and do some much-needed soul searching.
It's probably no coincidence that they're re-releasing Soul, Luca, and Turning Red in theaters to make up for how empty their slate is.

Saw this yesterday. Easily the best Illumination movie since Despicable Me 2. Very formulaic but sweet, charming, and to the point. Will play well with families over the holidays.

The level of pressure on this movie is astonishing. It has to:
- Help get the ball rolling on a rebooted franchise.
- Begin restoring trust in a damaged brand
- Revive an iconic character for general audiences
- Help not put WB deeper in the hole

I hate everything about this news, even if it doesn't come to fruition. We've already seen how much chaos the Discovery merger caused.

The main difference here is that there's a big Superman reboot on the way the year after Creature Commandos. There are also a new Batman movie and a Green Lantern television series in active development. Unlike the previous regime this one is clearly committing to building a foundation with the classic heroes.
A non-polarizing foundation that feels like it was planned out. That's the key difference. Granted, with how increasingly chaotic things are at Warner Bros, there's immense pressure on this movie to deliver and then some.

That feels like an appropriate runtime. Yet weirdly, I was expecting something within the 3+ hour range.

I know the tracking for this isn't great, but Elemental proved to us that opening weekend isn't always the end of the story. If this has decent reviews, it should do just fine.

My mistake. The article says nationwide.

I hope this is worldwide. I would watch all of these movies on the big screen.
It is. Variety confirmed it.

Is this obviously a way of having something in theaters due to strike delays? Yes.
Is it still great news? Also yes.

I'm of the opinion that all the Alien movies are good or at least entertaining outside of AVP:R. Hell, I find myself watching Resurrection more often than 3 because it's more enjoyable and doesn't depress me. This sounds like it'll be a tense, back-to-basics entry in the series.

Excellent choice. Just how I imagined Jimmy Olsen.

Excellent casting decision. And Nicholas Hoult being turned down for prior DC heroes almost makes him perfect for the role considering that inadequacy is one of Lex Luthor's main motivations.

If BvS damaged the brand, I’m not really seeing it.
We've been seeing it for the last seven years:
- JL and SS were reshot because WB was surprised by the negative reception to BvS.
- Snyder being forced to reshoot JL and being forced our by WB? Because they wanted a course correction.
- JL failing to even crack $100M on OW? A direct result of audiences feeling burned by BvS, the film setting it up. Josstice League didn't kill the DCEU, it was proof that it had already been dead.
- WW, The Batman, Joker, and AM were hits despite the baggage the brand had, in part, because they had positive word of mouth. They're the exception, not the norm.
- The reason why James Gunn and Peter Safran were brought in (after numerous regime changes)? Because the main franchise had so much baggage that the only option was to start anew.

Alien: Romulus | August 16, 2024 | Fede Alvarez | See the original Alien in theaters on April 26

I expect we'll get our first look sometime in April. That's when the new Omen movie comes out (another Fox property) and April 26 is Alien Day (LV-426).
