cookie Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Honestly, either Scar or Seussical should move to Christmas weekend. Not only do they have to face two pretty ambitious movies (RESTART is definitely going to be epic, and anyone who read Julius Caesar in Year 7 knows how good Numbers' historical epics are), but they have 2 animated movies coming out on the 11th, one a giant ensemble Lord/Miller comedy and a sequel to a very successful Year 9 film. The duck project isn't really a sequel (the true Scrooge McDuck sequel is still scheduled in Year 12) but it takes place in the same universe.

I find it adorable you think anything is going to be able to stand up to Scar considering how much pull the Lion King has among the GA. Putting it bluntly, Scar is the strongest movie in December. I could probably put it anywhere I want and it'd likely be a success. It's your animated movies that need to be wary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blankments Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 To be honest, I'm not worried about Scar. My plan is this year is to write Chuck/Liam and RESTART first since they both HAVE to be released in Year 10 since they're what I like to call "anniversary specials." If necessary, I'll slot RESTART in summer if we run out of movie dates. RESTART will probably be done being written by the end of Q1, but I like the date I have it at right now anyway (and to be antagonistic once in this post, Rukaio could probably get away with releasing Scar in summer as well, but it's whatever ) Also... just out of curiosity, is Scar live-action? Cause I wanna know how you're gonna make that work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's if it's any good. And to be honest the main reason Beauty and the Beast and The Little Mermaid did so well was mainly because they were either a continuation or a faithful remake of the original. Scar is a prequel like YZMA, and while I can definitely agree that The Lion King has more GA pull than The Emperor's New Groove, it's not gonna be this monstrous behemoth you hype it to be.

Blankments Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Also, another issue I have with Scar (a really dumb issue, just a warning) is that it might muck up the rights I'd need for my project for either Y11 or Y12: a Disney villain's Ocean's 11 using both the currently cast Disney villain (Chris Pratt as Gaston, Tilda Swinton as Yzma), and ones not yet used (I have Scar, Cruella, and Captain Hook in my very very preliminary outline). Basically, it'd be a heist movie about them trying to take Mickey's hat and it'd be badass imo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rukaio101 Posted December 8, 2014 Author Share Posted December 8, 2014 (edited) RESTART will probably be done being written by the end of Q1, but I like the date I have it at right now anyway (and to be antagonistic once in this post, Rukaio could probably get away with releasing Scar in summer as well, but it's whatever ) I know. I could get away with releasing it pretty much anywhere. I just like the date I have it at right now. Seriously though, at the moment I'm really just leaning back and waiting to see how things go elsewhere. I may move if I see a good spot I can take full advantage of. Also... just out of curiosity, is Scar live-action? Cause I wanna know how you're gonna make that work It's live-action with motion capture around the faces. Like how Smaug was done in the Hobbit films. Should get some technical noms. That's if it's any good.

Scar is a prequel like YZMA, and while I can definitely agree that The Lion King has more GA pull than The Emperor's New Groove, it's not gonna be this monstrous behemoth you hype it to be. Tell that to Maleficent. A prequel with mixed reviews at best and it's currently one of the highest grossing this year. And I'd say Lion King has more pull than Sleeping Beauty. And I like to think I've got a good reputation when it comes to blockbusters in this game. Also, another issue I have with Scar (a really dumb issue, just a warning) is that it might muck up the rights I'd need for my project for either Y11 or Y12: a Disney villain's Ocean's 11 using both the currently cast Disney villain (Chris Pratt as Gaston, Tilda Swinton as Yzma), and ones not yet used (I have Scar, Cruella, and Captain Hook in my very very preliminary outline). You're welcome to use Tom Hiddlestone as Scar if you want. I've no issue with it. It sounds fun. Edited December 8, 2014 by Rukaio Alter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rukaio101 Posted December 8, 2014 Author Share Posted December 8, 2014 I am planning on writing most of this stuff over Christmas vacations. When is the first quarter planned to start and end? I think we agreed we're switching to thirds this year. First third will start once the Oscars are finished so probably around the 21st, maybe a bit earlier. I'm thinking we should have maybe 2 1/2 weeks time to work, with maybe half a week extension, just to put a bit more pressure on people to finish on time. We've got time to discuss that though. Is Primeval based on the TV show? I loved that TV show. Yes it is and so do I. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cookie Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 (edited) Unless Scar is going to have human characters in it I don't see the point in making it live-action since all the characters would be CGI anyway. A live-action Jungle Book for example makes sense since the main character is a little kid but The Lion King has no human characters.

Alpha Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Yeah, Ethan, change some shit about Seussical. A two-part movie is a dumb idea, and Brad Bird as the director makes me angry because Brad Bird could be used for a hundred different films other than Seussical.

Good choice; he was actually in mind for my heist flick (either Hiddleston or Fassbender). But yeah, my heist flick will either be Y11 or Y12. Only reason I don't know Y11 for sure is because IDK if I want Aladdin and the heist movie in the same year It will be split into parts or it will be an around 4 hour film your choice. I was in Seussical and the play itself has no reason to be 2.5 hours. There's a lot of filler that would easily be cut out in an adaptation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it will also be new songs and some tweaking done to the story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
