So were poor Emily Blunt and Jessica Chastain contractually obligated to do Hunstman? And was Charlize just greedy? I like all three of them but I want it to BOMB. 

Charlize Theron wanted that 10M patcheck.

Jessica Chastain was contractually forced.

Emily Blunt wanted that 5-7M paycheck.

Gah, Trigger Warn that shit please

Can Jungle Book reinvigorate the flagging popularity of CGI?

 

I was a big critic of CGI for most movies. But something has changed. First noticed it with JW.

 

George Lucas was right.

It s pathetic that Charlize only could ask 10m, same paycheck as Thor because-thanx to the Sony hacks.

I saw a breakout coming (was thinking $93M), but this is still completely insane, especially if it hits $44M. That would match Alice's Saturday.

 

Really hoping the massive global total jump starts the stock next week ahead of big projections from Civil War. Film is a small component of Disney but there is a lot of upside surprise in the division this 1/4.

We won't, unless there is a human character added.

Wouldn't it just be fully CG with no human characters? They could obviously do it in the style of JB. Don't know if they would count as animated or not.

Except for the $100,000,000s it will make.

[syntaxerror]

Give Favreau Magic Kingdom now or even a Stars Wars story.

[Ethan Hunt]

I demand a live action Chicken Little

[Jayhawk the Hutt]

As long as it was decent, a live-action remake of TLK would easily make 150m+ OW.

[The Futurist]

The problem is that Lion King is not that old, so it s already modern in tone compared to the 1967's Jungle Book for example.

 

2016's JB & 1967's JB have lots of differences.

 

Don't know what approach would work for a new Lion King since the 1994's didn't really age tone & story wise.

 

Doing almost the exact same movie but in CGI, not sure what would be the point in this ?

How can they update the 1994's film ?
