Hatebox Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 (edited) I feel like this will need a downer ending to stand out from what looks like rather ho-hum genre trappings. We can take it as read that it’s a miracle a large-ish budgeted original movie aimed at adults exists in 2023.

Hatebox Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 (edited) Incidentally, the fox movie studio still exists then? Or was this in development before the Disney buyout and they’re obliged to keep the logo? Edited July 17, 2023 by Hatebox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disney will continue to use the 20th Century Studios logo for films that it deems appropriate for that label, as well any IPs that originated there will stay there (Avatar, Planet of the Apes, Alien, Simpsons, etc). My guess is that it's slowly becoming a replacement for Touchstone as they seem to be putting their mid-budget/big budget adult fare there. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FilmFincher Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 (edited) Literally just rewatched Godzilla (2014) this last week to get my Gareth Edwards fix, his visual storytelling and ability to build tension is at a totally different level than his peers. So happy to be getting another blockbuster from him. Also Greig Fraser (who I assume set the tone before Oren Soffer took over) has really outdone himself with his quest to make digital look more like film. I saw the IMAX exclusive trailer before MI7 and on the big screen it's indistinguishable, the grain, the colour, the lenses. Beautiful work, stunning.

PrinceRico Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 What is the budget for this because it looks incredible. Should have got this guy to direct the flash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw the first trailer before MI7 yesterday and the visuals look great for its budget, but it doesn't really look like a good movie - just a mash-up for half a dozen other IPs from before it. But it's nice to get more sci-fi, so pulling for it to actually be good. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed in this specific case, but even so, everytime there's an original film looking good and/or doing well we get this take, it's somewhat maddening tbh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WittyUsername Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 Meh. It still looks fairly typical in terms of modern sci-fi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And considering that this is an original science fiction piece from their redheaded and abused black sheep stepchild, they sure as hell don't.

Sadly, the only way to get an original pic with a significant budget (yes, 90 million is still significant) greenlit is by looking fairly typical or having immense clout like, say, Nolan. Studios won't take the gamble otherwise. Still, I hope it is successful, since it's all baby steps to get back to a climate where more original stuff can be made.

Gareth Edwards has historically been pretty good with budgets (Godzilla was $160 million which is much less then you would think) and he's been working with heavy VFX since the start of his career, I wouldn't be shocked if this is lower then $100M.

ThomasNicole Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Fwiw test screenings for this went very well apparently And someone compared with Ad Astra which personally just makes me even more excited Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FilmFincher Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 I was keeping my fingers crossed for Desplat. Hopefully Zimmer brings it, felt like he was on autopilot for a while but Dune and Are You There God? It's Me Margaret were fantastic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
