DL: Shawnee Smith, Synnøve Macody Lund, Steven Brand and Michael Beach join [SAW10] Antibody Dec 08, 11:06

DL: James Gunn says the THR reporting is not entirely accurate but some is true/half-true/undecided. notfabio Dec 08, 10:47

Doesn't expect to please everyone. Presumably the WONDER WOMAN 3 news (at least) is what's true because that was an actual alleged meeting. {nm} notfabio Dec 08, 10:50

Also asks to give him time as far as actual announcements (probably around May/June and or SDCC would be my guess) {nm} notfabio Dec 08, 10:52

Question is who talked to THR and what's the motivation? {nm} Antibody Dec 08, 10:57

My guess, WB execs aligned with Zas purposefully ala Seven Oaks leaks to DL, (re: undecided). Take a reduced deal Dwayne or else. {nm} notfabio Dec 08, 11:26

Or more crackpot, Hamada loyalists still left who hate Dwayne Johnson's end run to Abdy and DeLuca/ouster, but the leak serves WB too well. {nm} notfabio Dec 08, 11:33

it was clearly WW focused and then THR went off the deep end with speculation. Someone was unhappy about WW3 {nm} Moviesnob Dec 08, 11:42

the power move would be Kathy K throwing similar bucks at Gal and Patty to do X-Wing together {nm} donny blaze Dec 08, 11:42

Paramount Directors Jail after Downsizing. {nm} notfabio Dec 08, 10:07

She went from congressional aide to high school vp? damn... {nm} Moviesnob Dec 08, 10:47

While being based on a book sequel probably decided the path, I'd imagine Reese wants Flick/Woods to have taken different paths notfabio Dec 08, 11:07

sure, most sequels just replicate the same dynamic/conflict but in this case, it does rob the last film of its emotional arc (like Alien 3) Moviesnob Dec 08, 11:56

DanielRPK shading Geekosity who claims any minute now James Gunn is going to deny the THR reporting (he hasn't yet) notfabio Dec 08, 08:07

I'm still trying to figure out why Gunn would throw the good stuff out with the bad {nm} tealfan Dec 08, 09:08

If he's crafting his specific vision it's narratively cleaner to start from scratch vs trying to shoehorn other takes into his {nm} notfabio Dec 08, 09:32

which happens (rightly or wrongly) with any studio regime change. but who knows what other mandates he might have from above {nm} donny blaze Dec 08, 10:48

Well, we know the not 4 different Batmans comes from The Zas. As much as THR says cost savings is not an issue, it will save WB $$ notfabio Dec 08, 10:56

I didn't know Pom was being considered/rumored...if Gunn staying within family, would have preferred 5'11" Karen Gillan {nm} tealfan Dec 08, 12:17

I missed that too - where is that from? {nm} Moviesnob Dec 08, 14:41

THR: Disney+ with Ads is live (as is the price hike for the no-ads option, over 100 advertisers signed up to support the $7.99 price point. notfabio Dec 08, 08:04

Next time a star says something like that the creators of the named movies should sue them for some type of Intellectual Property violation {nm} Tallwonder Dec 08, 07:22

If that were possible, DIE HARD would be a billionaire. {nm} Antibody Dec 08, 07:36

And Dwayne Johnson himself would owe money in that specific example. {nm} Jay_Beezy Dec 08, 08:07

I'll condense that description into one word: Hodgepodge. {nm} Jay_Beezy Dec 08, 08:06

RREYN took a hiatus so he could come back and work through his commitments. {nm} Antibody Dec 08, 08:26

DL: Confirms the WW3 news from their sources, PJENK may turn in a new script to align with the new direction, but no word of it. notfabio Dec 07, 17:14

SW probably needs her X-Wing now more than DC needs another WW before the new direction is even fleshed out {nm} donny blaze Dec 07, 17:39

It'll be tough for one director of stature to do a rewrite for another director of stature. {nm} Moviesnob Dec 07, 18:07
