Glass Onion at least not releasing before Mid October will close out BFI on October 16th notfabio Aug 03, 05:38

Fingers crossed I can catch it during my short TIFF stint. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Aug 03, 05:48

CKOM: Saskatchewan-Made Horror Short Film Catches Hollywood's Attention. 'THE DRUID'S HAND' Chosen For Screening At LA Screamfest 2022. RotoHockeyYTD2014 Aug 03, 01:35

Greatphase: I'm also pretty certain the Green Lantern HBOmax series was canned a while ago. Antibody Aug 02, 22:19

it's certainly typical for incoming studio heads to cancel their predecessor's projects that are in development raccacoonie Aug 02, 22:30

Surprise! LUCK is playing at Harkins Theatres this weekend notfabio Aug 02, 21:47

Looks like only 3. More weirdness Berney Films dba Picturehouse has risen from the grave for like the 8th time to distribute {nm} notfabio Aug 02, 21:50

Cinemark also is notfabio Aug 02, 21:52

Picturehouse has reported in the past but I cant imagine Apple would let them {nm} notfabio Aug 02, 21:55

Yeah, it was always getting a select theater release for Oscar consideration. It isn't bad. Has its moments. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Aug 03, 04:21

THEWRAP: The decision to not release Batgirl reflects our leadership’s strategic shift as it relates to the DC universe and HBO Max. notfabio Aug 02, 21:19

Leslie Grace is an incredibly talented actor and this decision is not a reflection of her performance. {nm} notfabio Aug 02, 21:20

Weird they single her out. {nm} notfabio Aug 02, 21:22

Because of the backlash. MKEAT, JKSIM and BFRAS are veterans who aren't hurt by this. {nm} Antibody Aug 02, 21:26

Zaslav needs to greenlight a $200M theatrical BATGR starring LGRAC. {nm} Antibody Aug 02, 21:22

They probably do have another project with her which would explain the statement mentioning her {nm} notfabio Aug 02, 21:28

In the Heights... Again! {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Aug 02, 21:29

There will still be backlash if they cast anyone else as future Batgirl. {nm} Antibody Aug 02, 21:30

and just to pile on here, why wouldn't you think this character isnt one of the most valuable characters you own?!?!?! Moviesnob Aug 02, 21:36

WONDER WOMAN made $800m worldwide! Why flush BATGIRL down the toliet? {nm} Moviesnob Aug 02, 21:38

they can spin it however they want. Alan Horn has a lot of handholding to do, fast, b/c creatives are losing their **** tonite raccacoonie Aug 02, 21:32

Optics on cancelling a film with the lead being a POC and then holding out for Ezra "troubles" to blow over...... {nm} Peter453 Aug 02, 21:41

also of a piece with Gordita Chronicles being canceled last week for no better reason than “HBO Max doesn’t do family anymore” raccacoonie Aug 02, 21:44

Would appreciate a Mel Brooks take on these events. {nm} Qix Aug 02, 21:33

CARA: AFTR4, DFAD, BLDMN, STARN have been rated Antibody Aug 02, 19:57

V: BATGR was killed for "taxes". a tax write-down on both films, seen internally as the most financially sound way to recoup the cost. Antibody Aug 02, 18:00

Yeah this is fairly common for animated films, but they usually aren't in post. Newt, Me & My Shadow, Boo U for example. {nm} notfabio Aug 02, 18:09

There's like dozens of cancelled Disney Animated Feature Films for the curious. notfabio Aug 02, 18:16

nothing in the article substantiates an actual tax strategy for throwing it in the trash. but if taking 100% writeoffs on films in the can raccacoonie Aug 02, 20:01

WB should sell the film to Netflix. WB will make profit, and the film will definitely become a Netflix hit. {nm} Peterlee Aug 02, 20:30

if you're purportedly dumping a film for "taxes" then selling it at a profit actually defeats your purpose {nm} raccacoonie Aug 02, 20:39

Some tweets from a few people saying there is more bad news coming about DC...(I will guess Blue Beetle) {nm} Peter453 Aug 02, 21:06

OUCH.... Director of Blue Beetle making some comments about studios cancelling Latino stuff. {nm} Peter453 Aug 02, 21:10

DL: this “purchase accounting" expires in mid-August, allows Warner Bros Discovery to not have to carry the losses on its books Antibody Aug 02, 21:14

Sources don’t expect other films to get killed because of this expiration date. {nm} Antibody Aug 02, 21:16

Video Interview the director of SCOOB Holiday Haunt gave just 3 days ago. Animation was completed on Friday outside of final lighting notfabio Aug 02, 17:48

The director, Michael Kurinsky, is trying to drum up support for WB to reverse their decision on Twitter {nm} notfabio Aug 02, 17:50

The full interview notfabio Aug 02, 17:51

DL: Janet Yang elected AMPAS President replacing David Rubin notfabio Aug 02, 16:28

VA: Michael Keaton only had 5 scenes in BATGIRL. He didn't train Barbara... Antibody Aug 02, 15:13

Anyone worried The Flash will get canned now (even a little) Peter453 Aug 02, 14:31

Flash has more than double the budget of Batgirl. {nm} Jay_Beezy Aug 02, 14:32

Delay, reshoots, recasting, no release, streaming only or everything is peachy? {nm} Peter453 Aug 02, 14:34

Studio is hoping they can delay release until Ezra Miller stops being "Troublesome" {nm} Shirtavius Aug 02, 15:43

While he still breathes could be a long time. {nm} notfabio Aug 02, 15:56

Has he been found, yet? {nm} Jay_Beezy Aug 02, 15:57

As far as anyone knows no he hasn't. penguin77 Aug 02, 23:07

Maybe he joined Armie Hammer in his time share business. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Aug 03, 05:21

ViewerAnon talks Brendan Fraser's Firefly. "Slow" Former Goon who loses job and returns to crime to pay for his wife's medical bills. notfabio Aug 02, 14:24

Sharon Waxman: at the moment, 10,000 people are reading Umberto's story on BATGIRL. notfabio Aug 02, 14:26

Justin Kroll re: Rival Studio Exec response: "Worked in this town for three decades and this is some unprecedented s*** right here." {nm} notfabio Aug 02, 14:34

Duffield (who is writing a King Kong anime for Legendary): "Well that's the end of Warner Brothers" raccacoonie Aug 02, 15:11

DL: Word just came down this week that BATGIRL would be shelved according to sources close to the project notfabio Aug 02, 14:43

"is in the final stages of post-production" {nm} notfabio Aug 02, 14:43

i'm guessing Alan Horn didn't recommend this {nm} raccacoonie Aug 02, 14:48

He officially just started yesterday, so he'd be a go getter if he did. ;) {nm} notfabio Aug 02, 14:52

sort of the type of decision you'd think he was hired to consult Zaslav about {nm} raccacoonie Aug 02, 14:55

also, here come the lawsuits one would surmise raccacoonie Aug 02, 15:19

At this rate, Michael Keaton will end up owning Beetlejuice. {nm} austpow Aug 02, 19:43

With a big enough fan campaign #ReleaseBatgirl, it will eventually come out. Fantastic Four 1994 came out. {nm} Antibody Aug 02, 14:18

THR: WB is also shelving the 40 million SCOOB: HOLIDAY HAUNT in addition to BATGIRL. notfabio Aug 02, 14:09

No IPO to short...........Boooooooooooooooooo {nm} Peter453 Aug 02, 14:10

This really disappointing for all fangirls. Even if it's terrible, who does it really hurt if WB release it on streaming? {nm} Antibody Aug 02, 14:11

Re: BATGIRL {nm} Antibody Aug 02, 14:12

I agree this is extreme. Maybe they need reshoots and thats' to expensive. Test screenings must have been awful. {nm} Peter453 Aug 02, 14:13

Recap of reactions to the test screening, they were not great, but they also were not "no way WB can release this!" notfabio Aug 02, 14:16

Besides how to explain MKEAT, that they need or want to take the write-down now could be a factor. {nm} notfabio Aug 02, 14:19

Variety: Confirms too, seems the unofficial line to align with "blockbuster scale" they want for DC feature films going forward. notfabio Aug 02, 14:21

But that really wouldn't explain killing SCOOB since they release straight to video/streaming small animated films all the time. {nm} notfabio Aug 02, 14:22

Is BLUBT "blockbuster scale"? {nm} Antibody Aug 02, 14:27

They hadn't already started production on that prior to the theatrical upgrade, so maybe they bumped it up in time? {nm} notfabio Aug 02, 14:32

just another reminder that leveraged buyouts are just SEC/DOJ-sanctioned bust outs. "efficiencies" always come from the buyer ****canning raccacoonie Aug 02, 15:15

NY Post: ‘Irredeemable’ ‘Batgirl’ movie gets ‘shelved’ by Warner Bros. despite $70M price tag: source Peter453 Aug 02, 13:15

This is not official. But think the chances it goes to steaming and no theatrical release are going right up. {nm} Peter453 Aug 02, 13:16

Variety article seems more definitive (link inside) bface Aug 02, 14:04

Mayimbe seems to believe it, and he usually has sources he can double-check with... TheWeekendWarrior Aug 02, 13:30

Some rumours HBO Max is getting folded into Discovery and just keeping HBO tab. Zaslav sounds like he is making big changes {nm} Peter453 Aug 02, 13:36

That would be TERRIBLE. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Aug 02, 13:39

Wouldn't they prefer to fold Discovery into HBO Max? Max has much more name recognition than Discovery {nm} JayPrimetown Aug 02, 13:39

Keep HBO and fold HBO Max into Discovery. {nm} Peter453 Aug 02, 13:42

it was announced some time ago that HBO Max and Discovery networks would merge. there's no way they abandon the HBO Max brand raccacoonie Aug 02, 13:50

Grace Randolph is confirming. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Aug 02, 13:41

Tweet from Grace Randolph with more rumors JayPrimetown Aug 02, 13:44

WBD's earnings call is after market close on Thursday, so I'd imagine more leaks leading up to it. {nm} notfabio Aug 02, 13:51

I think the most likely explanation? Plans for MKEAT to be the new Batman are toast, and it would be too expensive to reshoot all his scenes {nm} notfabio Aug 02, 13:42

because the test screening reactions while not great, were not OMG this is BATMAN & ROBIN: PART 2 {nm} notfabio Aug 02, 13:43

Got to put it on streaming at least. No announcement after all this time of a theatrical release date seems like they dont have faith in it {nm} Peter453 Aug 02, 13:45

THR conforming Batgirl is being scrapped. Peter453 Aug 02, 14:04

225M shares held LONG...SMACKDOWN...... {nm} Peter453 Aug 02, 14:07

NYP: “Batgirl” will be completely “shelved” by Warner Bros.[BATGR] Antibody Aug 02, 14:06

DL: The ALIEN series will not begin production until 2023. No characters from the ALIEN films besides "the alien" will be a part of it. notfabio Aug 02, 12:53

The September shoot FITA lists is probably 2nd unit location shooting and cast will probably all be indoor sets. {nm} notfabio Aug 02, 12:58

EW has confirmed that Jared Leto and Jamie Lee Curtis are in HAUNTED MANSION with a source close to the production. notfabio Aug 02, 12:23

Variety: Ann Dowd joins THE EXORCIST sequel. notfabio Aug 02, 12:04

Variety: BULLET TRAIN 30 million (vague mention that others expect higher), EASTER SUNDAY $5-7 million notfabio Aug 02, 12:00

Keep in mind this is probably the Sony # and outside of the last RESIDENT EVIL they are generally at least 4-5 million under {nm} notfabio Aug 02, 12:10

Normally I would agree but the guys tracking ticket sales are saying its stalling. Reviews I expected a lot better. Low 30s is my guess now {nm} Peter453 Aug 02, 13:52

DL: Sorry DC&MCU, The Daniels have signed a 5 year exclusive pact with Universal (similar to Jordan Peele's 5 year contract) notfabio Aug 02, 10:41

Great! I thought they would be a good match for Secret Wars, but let them continue to make original movies {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Aug 02, 10:55
