Hopefully, only if it's a prequel.  That young actress was fantastic.

[CaptainJackSparrow]

Hopefully they return for the sequel, it wouldn't be the same without them!!

Rockin' the mustache, ok...

That's such an unflattering costume. Gives him mothering hips. Boyega has always been on a chunky side, can't help it, but this is just

Are we really going to start this again?  

[Valonqar]

@WrathOfHan No but the costume IS fuckin terrible and wouldn't look flattering even on a Chris Avenger let alone someone who isn't Evans or Hemsworth.

We can't really judge costumes from set pics or a film from set pics.

Yeah. It could be enhanced with CGI later. We just don't know enough yet.

 

Granted, that wasn't the case with the suits from Pacific Rim. But different personnel are creating the film, so anything is possible.

Look at the Black Panther suit.  Looks like crap behind the scenes, but awesome in the finished movie.

The Blank Panther suit is completly CG'ied  throughout  all the movie.

[Valonqar]

@Klingo That's a crap suit indeed, though Pacific Rim one is much crappier. But yeah, those suits are crap. Than they digitally make them look good.

Thomas Tull has been forced to resign from Legendary Pictures by its Chinese owner. I guess they are frustrated with his decisions to greenlight films like The Great Wall and Pacific Rim 2. The guy has be infamous for funding passion projects...good ridance.

The Hollywood Reporter apparently had the first exclusive on this.

This is interesting news.  It's both good and bad, and Tull deserves a bit of respect here...just a bit.  Though Tull was rumored to be "difficult" all the way back to his days working with Warner Bros., for you Nolan fanboys, I'm not sure that Nolan and Warner Bros. would have had all the resources and budgets as easily available without Legendary's investment -- this company routinely put up around 50% on The Dark Knight trilogy and Inception, 300, Man of Steel...and many other titles.  Though Tull's rep for producing many ill-advised and unsuccessful films lingers, one must also realize how canny and problematic this move is for Wanda, who can now essentially call Legendary Pictures a Chinese production company working in Hollywood.  

 

Are you folks ready to roll over and let Chinese billionaire investors dictate to you what kind of "cultural" content they wish you to see?  Because Hollywood themselves have been pretty good at rolling over for the money so far...

[NoobSaibot]

Considering that Godzilla and Interstellar were the last Legendary Pictures films to make money, this doesn't shock me. Hopefully Mary Parent steers this company in the right direction.
