Having a heavily established career over decades (plus an Oscar to your name) does wonders, I guess.

So does Stephen King swiftly leave the room while no one is looking?

He's working on DC's Titans show too but I have faith that Berlanti and Johns are the main ones involved

Actually, there's a pretty good series on the making of Fan4stic on a channel on Youtube called Midnight's Edge. I want something like that for this. 

 

Not enough.  I want a 3 hour long Wolf of Wall Street-esque heavily stylized dramatization on the making of Fant4stic.  get Scorsese to direct and put it into theaters.  boom, profit

Connections.

 

At least Winters Tale gave us a crazy-ass Russell Crowe performance, and a flying horse though.

 

The flying horse is in the book so he gets no points for butchering a magnificent novel.

He's going to spend the month stanning for IT harder than TOG did for Valerian.

Yeah, that matches.

I thought it was hilariously done in the film, though I'll admit I've never read the book. I'm sure it's handled much much better.

We talking about Winter's Tale and we haven't talked about how you could love someone so completely that you simply can't die?

 

My man Colin Farrell pouring his heart out for that one

The funniest thing about the first few pages is @Squadron Leader Tele's stanning for this movie and defending every single decision they made.

I think he backed off after the trailer landed lmao. Think he made the right choice to abandon this ship.

It wouldn't be Tele, if he wasn't defended some soon to be bad film months in advance. 

 

At least he jumped ship at the right time.
