YM! Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 @cookie The reason I moved Valor was mainly due to competition. With Countdown, Lightspeed, Xillix’s disaster flick and Voltron, as well as OPM in June, I didn’t want it to get lost in the shuffle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides that, pretty happy with how my films have been placed against the competition It's basically only a temporary slot and I might move it to March or something lol I'm just playing the waiting game for when a big film gets delayed to Y6 and then I'll move it there.

Dougherty works better as a funny-scary type of guy IMO and I'm not sure if Tower of Terror is aiming for that Bird... I just find it odd having him to pre-existing properties in general but that's just because I've followed the guy for a while and his contempt for them is often confounding in how much vitriol there is lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was thinking about the entire time I was writing that post haha. I have a lot of complicated feelings about Bird but if Alpha pulls it off, I think it'll be fine. TBH the only thing at that post I'm extremely iffy about is Lowery doing Brother Bear but that's more because 1) I'm curious how YourMother will implement his style in the writing and 2) I had a hidden OC in the works from him that I'll have to delay a year Edited November 5, 2018 by Blankments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one of the reasons I dig Trick r Treat and Krampus because both feel very much akin and embody both the holidays they are portraying. I wanted someone that could create that feel for an adaptation of Tower of Terror which is probably a Top 5 or even Top 3 Disney ride for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookie Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Tbh I tend to avoid hiring big names mostly because I don't want the expectations that come with hiring them get in the way of my writing. Hence you'll never see a Spielberg movie or someone like him from me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xillix Posted November 5, 2018 Author Share Posted November 5, 2018 More moves on my part: Untitled One Missed Call Reboot to August 13th Kagutaba to October 29th The Insectoids to July 2nd Autumn Chill to December 3rd Regardless of Voltron my disaster flick ain't moving. Date ties into the anniversary of the actual event, which as I've mentioned before, directly affected people I know personally. Not compromising on it.

Ezen Baklattan Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 You know if Blank is okay with the one week for Secret Saturdays then I’ll just wait for this all to blow over.

But if I had to guess right now, when all is said and done Star Fox will probably not be opening on October 15th 11 minutes ago, Blankments said: Bird...

The format is written into the movie. I've been planning it that way for a while. So frankly I don't really care what you're doing scheduling/IMAX-wise with Voltron. If it gets a week it gets a week to kill it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
