What about LEGO?

I think I remember seeing one dude (I think here actually lmao) complain that Lego Movie 2 was anti-male. Which like...how much of a nerd do you have to be to say something like that 😂

To be fair it probably helps that even with his recent stardom, a project like this if it goes sideways doesn't hurt him since he's not the marquee its hinging around.

Respect to Gosling for allowing himself to appear absolutely ridiculous on celluloid this late into a career made up of mostly serious roles. This movie is already shaping up to be one of 2023's most exciting projects.

Rumor that Helen Mirren is in this as well since her driver is credited in the crew via IMDB

His next film looks like a redbox original, so I guess he’s game for anything at this point 😅

Maybe Old Barbie?

Simu Liu being reluctant to take a role when his last appearance on a screen was… Selling Sunset? Ok 😂

The tweets are really getting a lot of likes on Twitter. There’s a Margot BTS pic that’s a meme already lol

Yeah, Simu Liu always seems so pretentious to me.

i swear Margot Robbie was made in a lab

[lorddemaxus]

Probably a bit biased since it's my favourite current interpretation of a CBM character, but based on some of the BTS clips I've seen, really feels like this role is scratching that Harley Quinn itch for Robbie lol.

The buzz on the internet about this movies is insane and they are still shooting it.

 

Something tell me they are going to change the release date for Nolan movie cause this really has more than solid chances to open bigger 😇

Universal/Nolan might be too steadfast to move but you're right about the buzz. This should be an easy layup for WB. Once they drop a splashy trailer, it'll be deafening. I'm getting a bit nervous for Nolan despite the luxury of PLF screens. (Also, this is supposedly receiving a 3D release so I'm a bit surprised WB didn't try finding a weekend it could snag some PLFs as well). I think this will just look bigger, funner, and more appealing (it is an iconic IP, after all, with serious A-list talent and larger demographic support with females). Interstellar was beaten out by Big Hero 6, both in their openings.

 

If this stays in July, I would imagine it gets a Cannes premiere as well like Elvis, Mad Max, Top Gun, etc which puts it over the top.

July too late for a Cannes premiere I think. They could release it on the weekend exactly a year from now and switch it with a certain superhero film with bad shit going on rn (and that superhero movie should move out of the summer). I feel like it gives it space from Captain Marvel 2 also.

I guess a Cannes premiere/July release would be the Once Upon a Time in Hollywood rollout?

 

But yeah, July.. man. Has 3 of the most anticipated films of the year (Oppenheimer, Barbie, Mission Impossible) and a MCU. Packed.

Is Oppenheimer - a period, talky movie presumably aimed at adults - expected to make lots of money? I know its budget is a reported hundred million (god knows how) but that's not exactly much by Nolan standards and Universal probably see it as a price worth paying to have a working relationship with him.
