The Story of Menstruation(look it up kids)

Disney must be incredibly excited for Winnie the Pooh after this weekend. I hope we get more news on that soon.

I don't know what to expect from Tarzan, early buzz isn't good but there seems to be a bit of interest.

 

Its not going to be a big hit but it'll do enough that WB won't get another embarrassment to justify.

 

I trust Yates, through from what I hear there has been some studio intervention and early buzz has been mixed.

A live action/CGI remake of Der Fuerer's Face with Donald Duck fighting Nazi's

this is being done i think. i was listening to a podcast with bryan cogman last week and he said he was writing it and watching the adventures of robin hood for inspiration, which is cool. i'd like to see more films in that style.

[La Binoche]

Universal should take notes and redo The Land Before Time. That still has a following, doesn't it? There's like 900 sequels. 

[CoolioD1]

i gotta be honest none of these disney live action retreads in the last couple years have done it for me at all. will just wait to netflix the new jungle book.

Where's my Old Yeller remake y'all?

[filmlover]

This year really needs some mid-range hits that aren't megablockbusters. Kung Fu Panda 3 is the only $100M+ grosser to not make it to $300M+, and the only other movies that have made over $70M are Ride Along 2 and 10 Cloverfield Lane.

Zack Snyder's

The Black Cauldron.

 

R Rated.

No jokes, no smiles Policy.

Rain.

Only Night Scenes.

More Grimdark than anything Frank Miller has ever done.

 

Do it Disney, change the paradigm.

 

This era of vanilla, boring  movies has to stop.

Oliver & Company!

32m holy shit

[marveldcfox]

Brilliant for The Jungle Book. Should do over $100 million opening weekend and $1+ billion worldwide total is happening. 

Jon Favreau can now do whatever the hell he wants. Personally, i would like to see him do another small indie film before he does another big budget movie.
