If you are familar with Lord and Miller this is how they work on animated films {nm} notfabio Sep 09, 18:12

They tear things down and build them back up. Also not uncommon on animated films {nm} notfabio Sep 09, 18:13

quick Ron Howard, get to Sony {nm} frank hardballer Sep 09, 21:23

Pixar was known for that...but with the uneven record lately, I wonder if they still do...lol {nm} tealfan Sep 09, 22:43

pixar will always use the iterative development process. Toy Story 3 was the outlier in how much of it got thrown out before Arndt came on frank hardballer Sep 09, 23:10

DL: Destin Daniel Cretton in talks to direct SPID9 (will Shang-Chi crossover?) notfabio Sep 09, 14:19

(The last rumor was that it would be Daredevil/Kingpin as the MCU crossover characters) {nm} notfabio Sep 09, 14:20

But also means Shang Chi 2 is likely going to get pushed even further back, undoubtedly well after the Avengers films {nm} notfabio Sep 09, 14:21

Or they could put Shang-Chi in the movie, too...I've been dying for more of a crime-driven Spidey movie, so that's probably what this is. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Sep 09, 18:01

RIP James Earl Jones {nm} wow platinum Sep 09, 13:48

wild that he was already 44 when he first voiced it {nm} wow platinum Sep 09, 14:36

BEET2 actuals from WB: $111m! {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Sep 09, 07:34

Curious on the legs, seems like it'll be very frontloaded {nm} budice Sep 09, 09:06

It seems to be doing well with family audiences, but don't think it can hold up against the Transformers/Wild Robot double whammy {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Sep 09, 09:07

If legs match IT chapter 2 the juice should hit current mst price. I think it’ll be a bit better but we’ll see {nm} MattW Sep 09, 10:29
