This might be an out of blue question but does WB have the rights to the LOTR film franchise ?

Man if WB can get the rights "Officially" they can have another continued billion dollar franchise until they f it up again like the wizarding world lol.

Think is Tolkien fans tend to be much less tolerant of spinoffs then most fandoms.

AT&T spent a lot of money acquiring Time Warner, only to give it up a few years later.

I find it interesting that nothing from the Discovery side was incorporated into the new logo.

 

I would guess that Elvis will be the first film that debuts with A Warner Bros. Discovery company byline.

If they have mainline stuff like ...well, I'd name a 'mainline' DCEU movie is, but I have no idea what they are. Aquaman? - and AU stuff like Joker and The Batman, I'd be fine with it.

 

Just don't cancel the Black Canary movie.

It's pretty clear the cult did not read till the end of the article. Hamada and Emmerich are staying. Its likely that DC will become its own studio instead of being part of WB and be focused on their pipeline based on the article.

Dude what is your obsession with bringing up snyder fanboys even when nobody is discussing them? Swear your ruin every batman/dc thread with this stuff

[excel1]

Superman has been underutilized? You don't say...
 

Michael Bay. Jacob Elordi. Some huge Chinese star as Lois. Premiere release date summer 2024 release date.

THe question how much autonomy will the new DC have.

 Will it's head be responsible only to the Warners CEO the way that Feige is only responsible to the Disney CEO,

Or Will the Warners film studios heads still  be involved the way they are now?

And  Kevin Feige's don't grow on trees. They will be lucky to find someone who can operate at Feige's level.

Giving DC more power and autonomy..maybe it's own studio that will not just be a brand of the Warners film studio is a good idea on paper, but unless they are lucky enough to get another Feige, it might not work so well.

[Hades]

Ah yes, the annual DCEU is being rebooted headline..its been a thing since 2016 now...🤷‍♂️

[Lucas]

A "Feige type leader" and "more movies like Aquaman, The Batman, and Joker" are mutually exclusive goals.

So essentially like how New Line Cinema operates?

My phone still hasn't rung, WB. Not sure what you're waiting for. 

[filmlover]

Let's refer to them under this new name as WB Disco going forward.

 A lot of lawyers have made a lot of money over the rights to Tolkien;s works on film.
