    Lol, it's like everyone was waiting for Nolan to break cover. Robbie and Reeves probably have a point given their respective star power. This really is a PR clusterfuck.

    God has spoken, and He is not pleased. I'd be interested to know what Denis Villeneuve thinks, not that he'll say it publicly right now. I doubt he's particularly happy Dune will debut on TV. I wonder if he pushed back against the idea at all.

    Matrix 4 is the big surprise for me. If the film's actually good (a big if) that would have been quite a treat on the big screen. Now people will just be watching it on TV. Feels very weird. But then, it's been that kind of year.

    I still expect this to go the D+ route. In a few months the service will need something new to maintain/increase interest and frankly the US vaccine distribution probably won't be good enough that everything's back to normal by even next summer.

    Just to throw it out there, but maybe a small part of this decision was informed by the possibility that WB knew it had a stinker on its hands? No, I'm not saying they're dumping an incredibility expensive tentpole and it's clearly pandemic related, but... maybe that made the decision a tad easier? The trailers did look abysmal. (Not trying to start a flame war, just thinking out loud.)

    Bond will never give up on a theatrical release. I can see Marvel being slightly more open to that given Disney has a platform to promote and there's another 27 MCU movies in the pipeline.

    Yup, Farrell's makeup is next level. It's not just that he's unrecognizable, it's that he looks normal. It's not cartoonish, which would have been easy. Also, I had no idea John Turturro was in this and for some reason finding out made me laugh.

    I've read a few snippy British articles implying Bond let cinema down when it needed him the most since the delay was cited as a reason for Cineworld closing, but that seems willfully ignorant of how bad things are getting again. The movie's not a charity.

    I was saying the whole year was a write-off long before it was cool.

    Yes!! Foxx's Electro was an iconic work of genius. If he's in this next film it's already guaranteed to be great. Hopefully this will lead to the character getting his own multi-movie spin-off.

    Just heard on (british) radio news that producers say this will still release next month. If it were just the US that was bad at this point I could see it, but western europe is a mess too now. All I can guess is they've made a calculated risk that things calm the hell down in the next 4.5 weeks. But it's still crazy.

    lol.

    Oh, this moved. They kept that quiet, I wouldn't have noticed unless I read this thread. Either way, good decision.
  14. Hatebox
    Roger Moore was the only famous actor they ever hired for Bond, and even then he was only known from TV. All this A-list actor speculation is for the birds. Anyway... how the fuck has this not moved yet??

    Boris Johnson has just announced that the UK is officially on course for a second wave. Get your 2021 calendars out, Universal.

    Count me in as someone struggling to see what the point in this is, other than obvious piggy-backing off brand recognition. "Hey, did you love the Uncharted cut-scenes but hated all those moment where you actually had to play the game? Well boy do we have the movie for you!" It's not like the Witcher which was already a book series and had a gigantic lore behind it - playing the set-pieces was the entire point.

    Slightly less shite than the previous posters, but not by much:
  18. Hatebox
    Yeah, but clearly Tenet isn't ticking people's fancy enough - and I say that as someone who seems to have liked it more than most. Even with a few more markets to open it's not going to make another 150% of its haul so far.
  19. Hatebox
    To be fair MCU paychecks are famously terrible until you've had a few hits with them... But yeah, this story's sounds completely made up.
  20. Hatebox
    Why are people saying Tenet could leg its way to 500m? That's obviously not going to happen...
  21. Hatebox
    Could the theaters not have just told WB 'no, it's too dangerous'? (I'm asking that sincerely - I don't know how cinema contractual obligations work - but if they were willing participants in the great Tenet experiment then I'm not too sympathetic.)
  22. Hatebox
    [Whispers] I still think Christmas is optimistic.
  23. Hatebox
    So that's the rest of the domestic year done then. I suppose we should thank WB for confirming how bad the situation really is but honestly, what did they think was going to happen? The only question now is what the global release schedule is for other movies. Infection numbers are already ticking back up in France and the UK so it's not a given movies will continue to do well in many other countries from here on out.
  24. Hatebox
    Let's not start a Villeneuve versus Nolan flame war. In the current industry these guys are a dying breed and I'm happy WB is giving both of them lots of money to do their thing.
  25. Hatebox
    That's kind of where I'm at. The film has significant problems but I can't say I've ever seen a blockbuster like it. For better and worse I felt like my brain had been assaulted, which I suspect was the intent. Not trying to convince myself I liked it more than I did - it's a 6-7/10 movie - but that really was its effect on me. That said: I hope his next effort is nothing like this. If he wants to complete his 'people in expensive clothes embarking on a mindfuck mission' trilogy he should leave it another decade.
