Zack Stentz: WB spent $130 million to make "One Battle After Another" because of streaming war Oct 16, 05:22
Good for WB and cinephiles to support auteurs. Otherwise, we'll be stuck with just IPs like MINEC and DCU. {nm} Oct 16, 07:41
but also as Zach notes, those things hitting big lessens the blow on projects like PTA's {nm} Oct 16, 08:27
I'm just saying WB is making IPs anyways, but they don't need to give $100M for original ideas. {nm} Oct 16, 08:50
V preview: BPHO2 $23 to $29 million, Sony lowball $18 million; GDFRT $6 to $8 million Oct 15, 19:38
I decided to go lower on BPHO2 myself... and only slightly higher on GDFRT which Lionsgate made impossible to see. Oct 16, 05:48
GDFRT has a surprising good 85% from 42 reviews. Better than BPHO2 and FRNST Oct 16, 07:48
I'm seeing it in 30 minutes and most NY film critics who didn't go to TIFF are going to have to see it today Oct 16, 10:52
It's really good.. no idea why Lionsgate decided to hide it from NY critics. Silly studio. {nm} Oct 16, 13:48

W: Jim Carrey in Talks to Lead Live-Action ‘The Jetsons’ Movie, Colin Trevorrow to Direct Oct 15, 11:50
when's the last time The Jetsons was in actual rotation on a platform anyone under 40 regularly watched? {nm} Oct 15, 12:36
the better question is "do you recognize the series THE JETSONS? {nm} Oct 15, 12:52
you just need name recognition. doesnt guarantee success nothing does, but it certainly helps if people know the name {nm} Oct 15, 12:53
They were cutaway gags on Family Guy a few times... maybe they're banking on that {nm} Oct 15, 15:16
George Jetson is 40 and has a 6 year-old son. Jim Carrey is 63. . . Oct 15, 15:28
So? Cast a 30 year old actor to play his Elroy Jetson. Problem solved :) {nm} Oct 15, 18:50
And 30-year-old Elroy still lives at home because the future is not so different from the present. {nm} Oct 15, 22:16
It has to be a direct adaptation? Says who? {nm} Oct 15, 22:27

cowards {nm} Oct 15, 12:06
They're only hurting themselves at this point. Netflix won {nm} Oct 16, 08:15
It's still true that they don't "need" to, but they'll certainly take advantage of it where they see fit {nm} Oct 16, 11:05

It's a really enjoyable crowdpleaser... will be curious to see whether it gets some WOM business this weekend Oct 15, 05:04
V: Hollywood is using AI to read scripts and write coverage Oct 14, 19:47
not sure if its better than having earning college credit interns read {nm} Oct 14, 21:55
Depends how you define “better” Oct 15, 05:57
If the script gets made, the audience will be other humans, not AI {nm} Oct 15, 08:27
all scripts go through development after they’re bought (tho one suspects these cheapskates want to AI that part too) {nm} Oct 15, 09:20
