Twentieth Century Fox’s Logan is indicative of their problems managing their X-Men franchise. Supposedly it’s going to be R-rated, not because Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) is a mutant who’s primarily features are a healing factor, Adamantium-coated claws and a bestial nature to match, but because Deadpool had an R- rating, and it gave Fox almost […]
Apparently executives at Warner Bros/DC Films don’t understand that people don’t want murky, unheroic super beings–be they heroes or in this instance, villains. I mention it because reviews have begun to come in for David Ayer’s Suicide Squad, and they’re not…very…good. To be fair, they’re mixed so some that aren’t as bad, such as (on […]
I think that Warner Bros, possibly with the exception of the upcoming Suicide Squad is terribly mismanaging their DC Films relationship (and Yes, I include the upcoming Wonder Woman in that estimation as well)–like Fox is doing with the X-Men franchise, only less successfully. But Antoine Fuqua’s The Magnificent Seven? With Denzel Washington and Chris Pratt? Money […]
Been a slow news day, though I stumbled upon something interesting at SuperHeroHype. According to Joe Carnahan, Fox’s upcoming “Daredevil” reboot is dead on arrival. This isn’t surprising, if it happens to be the case, because the only way that Fox could reboot the franchise would be for them to turn over the rights to […]
I was over at WorstPreviews yesterday, and they had an article saying that the meeting between Marvel and Fox execs was over a co-financing deal for a “Daredevil” reboot. This sounds to me like either deliberate misdirection, or nonsense (though on whose part, I can’t say). The problem for me is: How can Twentieth Century […]
There have recently been rumors milling about that Fox is high on Joe Carnahan relaunching “Daredevil,” though there appears to be a fly in the ointment. That fly being that, unless the film is in production by the 10th of this coming October, the rights to the character revert back to Marvel. This is happening […]
Netflix has done plenty of stupid things, but their latest decision isn’t among them. They have decided, in a burst of sanity, to not take on “Terra Nova” after it had been cancelled by Fox. Netflix doesn’t have the deep pockets of a Twentieth Century Fox–and “House of Cards, and the participation of David […]
Twentieth Century Fox is re-releasing George Lucas’s “Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace” in 3D in 2012, according to The New York Times. Is such a move going to help the current box office slump? This makes me wonder: Is adding another dimension to a pretty mediocre movie really going to make a […]
