Remember when I wrote that Walter Hamada wasn’t long for the head of DC Films last September? I was right because while I didn’t name the circumstances under which he would leave the post, leave it he did and from the outside looking in it’s fairly obviously why: He had no idea what he was […]
In case you’re wondering, David Zaslav is still looking for someone to act as the ‘Kevin Feige’ for DC Films and apparently it isn’t going to be Walter Hamada (and based on his tenure thus far that’ should be fairly obvious’s probably a wise decision). My question is why aren’t they looking for someone who’s […]
When people talk about Marvel movies, what they tend to talk about is the ‘Marvel Formula,’ which is a way of saying that they’re very consistent in terms of their plots, story beats and visual presentation. And on one level that’s fair, and on another it’s really lazy because ANY series of movies – or […]
I find if fascinating when rich people squander their fortunes because they start the race a few leagues (Roman) ahead of everyone else, yet they still manage to screw it up (which isn’t the same as a poor – or should I say “less rich” – person who lose any newfound wealth because they’re unaccustomed […]
Earlier today the official trailer for The New Mutants dropped and…it’s not entirely different from the trailers that dropped two years ago. Yes, this movie was in the pipeline for that long. At the time Josh Boone’s movie wasn’t well regarded among Fox executives and since the purchase of their movie assets by Disney a […]
According to The Wrap James Gunn has returned to Marvel Studios to direct Guardians Of The Galaxy, Vol. 3! How this change of events came about I have no idea, but I imagine it puts Disney in an awkward position because they overreacted to some tactless, stupid Tweets from James Gunn’s past. I suspect that […]
Anyone else think that Walt Disney, a company, based on the movies they produce (keep in mind this is the company that produced 1982’s Tron and animated features like Toy Story and The Incredibles among many, many others) might be running out of steam? I ask because here’s the logo for heir upcoming streaming service, […]
Let’s start by being honest: I can’t stand what Fox is doing with the X-Men just as much as I can’t stand when Sony–when left to their own devices–tends to end up doing with Spider-Man. Which is ruining them. And before you bring up Deadpool, that movie was an aberration and something that if the […]
A few days ago Kevin Feige confirmed that there would be a Doctor Strange sequel, which must have been a comfort to the people too clueless to not know better. The original movie earned almost $678 million–on a budget of $165 million–so if there weren’t a sequel it certainly wouldn’t be because it wasn’t profitable.Then […]
It’s been revealed by Kevin Feige, President of Marvel Studios, that the title of the Spider-Man: Homecoming sequel will be Spider-Man: Far From Home. And I genuinely have a problem with that because one way I interpreted the title of the first movie was as a return of Spider-Man back to where he belongs (never […]
