America is stuffed to the bloody gills with Christians, so that's a lot of people who do care about it. 

 

Yes, but how often does it trend on Twitter?  Can't be popular if it's not trending on Twitter, after all.

Excellent post. Franklin is one of the most knowledgeable people on all film Threads / Twitter.

And you think that money will then go to lower-paid actors and writers?

Little known fact, Franklin Leonard is the creator of the famous and hyped Blacklist, if you haven’t any idea what I’m talking about, check this out:

Even if $600M is the ceiling, that much a year is hardly anything considering, worldwide, domestic films have made upwards of $4 Billion (and I'm rounding way down).

The difference is he's ASKING for that. It's the executives deciding it.

Do it.

 

Let us pick the image. At very least give us RDJ roll eyes reaction. We need one like that. Stop being greedy, Cap. #TeamIronMan

If you do, and I wouldn't recommend it ftr, would have to think it'd have to be the famous gif from Team America: World Police.

 

If we're sticking with movie themed gifs, of course.

Ok i don’t like this. I know a bunch of people who writes for living. 
 

Pushing freelancer writers for example to simply not work because the reviews is considered promotion for studios seems unfair to me 

 

 

I really hope this type of extreme “guidance” and supporters attacking directors etc online don’t make the fight start to dilute. Social media getting too extreme for things tends to harm more than do good.

Yeah okay, nobody aside from Christians cares about the show and it shows the fact it has literally zero presence anywhere in the media landscape. The only publicity it's ever received is when it was purchased by the new right wing homophobic racist owner of the CW.

Guy, I am a total skeptic when it comes to religion, and disike the religius right enormoulsy, but it's foolish to deny "The Chosen" has been a sucess.

And not all Christians are "right wing homophobic racists". BIden and Pelosi, for instance, are both devout Catholics.

Some people confuse "Me and my friends/people I hang out with"  with "Everybody".

I would not be caught dead going to see 'Sound of Freedom" but not denying it has been a sucess.

Wait, if this means shit against reviewers this is fucked up.

There’s a fair amount of gray area here in terms of “writing” and “acting” but it’s always been the case that crossing lines of a guild that’s striking means you’re barred from joining that guild later. 
 

note: “writing” in this case doesn’t mean film critics or reviewers, that’s a separate, un-related thing. But if you’re thinking of doing promotional work for a signatory, it’s worth considering the possible ramifications, and I think anyone who might be affected should check with the respective guilds to be sure.

It does not. This isn't aimed at writers. It's SAG. Its aimed at people with a million followers on Instagram who attend the red carpet premieres. 

 

Maybe it'll affect the cbm hype people.

We don’t even have that. I mean, other than Kevin Smith and Marc Bernardin, do we really have any ‘cbm hype people’ out there? Because the YouTubers ain’t it.
